Man Points Out Incredibly Dark Scene We All Missed In Shrek

In the first clip, they show Papa and Mama Bear trapped in a cage by Farquaad's henchmen, with their child Baby Bear also caught in a smaller cage. Mama Bear is wearing a pink bow on her heard.

The video then fast forwards to another clip showing the bear family, only this time you can only see Papa Bear and Baby Bear. They're huddled together with Papa Bear looking sad and Baby Bear crying, even though they now appear to be free. Mama Bear nowhere to be seen.

So where is she?

Well, the person then fast forwards the film on again and we see a broad shot of one of the rooms in the castle. The camera pans along the floor and passes a rug.

It's a familiar rug too; it looks like it's been made from the fur of a bear. The bear is clearly dead, with its tongue lolling out of mouth, but it is adorned with a pink bow... oh no.

Yes, the suggestion here is that Farquaad may have set Papa Bear and Baby Bear free but at a price: Mama Bear.

Users were horrified, with one saying: "You're telling me I used to watch this and have a grand old time? Childhood was DARK".

Another wrote: "Oh my god!!!!!! Wtf"

Of course there were some eager to explore the meaning behind it, too.

One user wrote: "Shrek is a parody aimed mainly at Disney movies. Walt Disney's mother passed when he was young so that's why there's no mothers in his movies only father figures so when they killed mama bear it's basically referring to that fact."

Whatever the reason, it's a shocking discovery that only further darkened many people's favourite childhood film.

In the clip, Lord Farquaad can be seen reclining in bed with a martini while asking the magic mirror to show him a picture of Princess Fiona, to which the mirror obliges

If you look closely at the bed sheets, though, you'll see a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where a bulge seems to appear as though the villain is just a bit too excited about the thought of her.

Honestly, we're dreading what they're going to unearth next.
