Shrek 5 in 2019...who the hell is going to know what Shrek is? Especially since its not a reboot but "Shrek 5."

Are you f*cking stupid? You have to be joking here.

And this sequel doesn't come till 2019, so that's even more years later

The last Shrek movie came out in 2010. Your opinion has no merit.

Nobody really saw any Shrek movies outside the first two though. Those that did were the hardcore fans or kiddies who forgot about it already.

The first Toy Story was released 15 years before the third film. Does that mean kids in 2010 or even today didn't watch it?

Disney keeps all their properties relevant though. Same reason kids today know about The Little Mermaid despite the movie coming out way back in 1989 before they were all born. Disney properties get promoted via toys, merch, spinoffs, cartoons, in Disney World theme parks, etc

The 3rd movie had the biggest opening for an animated movie until last month when Finding a Dory beat it

I saw 3 and 4 in theatres and remember it well enough. Mcdonalds even had promotions for the movies as tie ins.

But how do they know? How do they knooooooow?

By the time this movie comes out in 2019 the original kids will be parents.

It was only a matter of time. I mean, there's five Ice Age movies for crying out loud.

Home media and the fact that Shrek is ingrained in pop culture.

In other words... no reboots of Shrek and Puss'N'Boots. Just new movies in the same universe.
