This is a two-panel meme that uses the popular Shrek 'Can You Do This For Five Minutes' meme template. In the top panel, Shrek says the line 'Can you stop milking out pointless sequels', calling out Disney. In the bottom panel, Shrek turns to look through a hole in a tent, where the Disney logo, the logo for *Frozen III*, and the logo for the new *Ice Age* sequel 'Boiling Point' are visible, with the bottom text reading 'For Five Minutes?'.
