In the studio behind Lantouris, a male staff member was caught watching a movie, presumably unrelated to work.

Social media users responded to the TikTok video with over 66,000 likes and comments such as "living the dream" and "finally, news we can trust." One user even called the staff member "a man of the people."

According to sharp-eyed TikTok users, it appears that the man was watching the 'Shrek Karaoke Dance Party' short film, which was originally released in 2001 on VHS along with the first film.

The clip was later included in the DVD release of the movie as well.
