When his new father-in-law, King Harold falls ill, Shrek is looked at as the heir to the land of Far, Far Away. Not one to give up his beloved swamp, Shrek recruits his friends Donkey and Puss in Boots to install the rebellious Artie as the new king. Princess Fiona, however, rallies a band of royal girlfriends to fend off a coup d'etat by the jilted Prince Charming.
Directors: Chris Miller, Raman Hui (co-director)
Stars: Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas.
Worthy sequel with good story, lots of gags, and high energy.
Will they ever use Dragon for more than a cameo?
Several familiar songs used as brief comic relief, mostly by Donkey. But the 2 most precious were by Julie Andrews, from 2 of her iconic films. She only hummed, but very recognizable.
Rated 6.1
Dreamworks, dir. Miller & Hui; 7
