# Not Here, Kitten Whiskers, Daddy Will Discuss It Later "Not Here, Kitten Whiskers, Daddy Will Discuss It Later" comes from a short scene in the 2007 animated sequel Shrek the Third, where Prince Charming calls Rapunzel "kitten whiskers" and refers to himself as "daddy" after she questions his threat against Fiona. Viewers flagged the pet names as oddly suggestive years later, and by September 2021 TikTokers were lip-dubbing the clip with the Face Time Warp filter. ## Origin Shrek the Third was released in North America on May 6, 2007[3]. In its final act, Fiona and the other princesses try to retake the castle of Far Far Away from Prince Charming, who has recruited Rapunzel to be his queen. When Charming openly threatens Fiona, Rapunzel wavers and whispers, "But pookie, you promised you wouldn't hurt them." He leans in and replies, "Not here, kitten whiskers, daddy will discuss it later"[1]. The exchange passed without notice at the time. - **Platform:** Shrek the Third (source), Tumblr and TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview Also known as "But Pookie" after Rapunzel's opening line, the joke rests on how out of place Prince Charming's phrasing sounds for a kids' movie. Fans circulated subtitled screenshots of the exchange so the "daddy" line can be read in full, usually paired with captions that read the dialogue as an unintentional kink moment[4]. The Tumblr post that brought wider attention literally captioned a photo of the scene "Time to kinkshame Prince Charming"[2]. On TikTok, the joke shifted toward performance. Creators apply the Face Time Warp filter to pinch their faces into Prince Charming's narrow proportions, then lip-sync the exchange, either to custom subtitled audio or to the original movie sound[6]. The appeal is watching an ordinary face melt into cartoon dimensions while mouthing "kitten whiskers" with a straight delivery[5]. ## How to Use On TikTok, creators switch on the Face Time Warp filter and squeeze their face into a long, pointed Prince Charming shape, then lip-sync the full "But pookie" / "kitten whiskers" exchange. Many use the subtitled audio first uploaded by @deanshannai[5]; some substitute the raw movie sound for a cleaner match to the original voice[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Not Here, Kitten Whiskers, Daddy Will Discuss It Later?
