very good sequel

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2004)

Sequels are usually not as good as the originals, but this one breaks that mold. It is every bit as entertaining as Shrek was. The fact that there is continuity between them, and the characters all have the same voices as in Shrek really helps. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy all reprise their roles as Shrek, Fiona and Donkey. The basic story is that Pricess Fiona and Shrek have gotten married and have been invited back to the Princess's parents kingdom to celebrate the marriage. Howver, the King doesn't like the fact that Fiona married and ogre and has also become one all the time herself. She was supposed to have married Prince Charming, who would have broken the ogre spell for her. There is a wicked fairy godmother to contend with as well. The animation is wonderful and nearly looks real. It's a well written story with enough going on to keep the viewer's interest. Overall, a great sequel (and I rarely say THAT!).
