Expectation runs high  but delivers one notch above

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2008)

Ver 1.0 had the three-some (Shrek, Fiona & Donkey) who stamped their existence. In the Part Deux, they ensure we love them even more, taking adequate support from the latest entrants.
New entrants:: I was expecting a lot from Puss-in-boots but never mind. The King & Queen are lovable. Prince Charming grabs your attention. And it is the Fairy Godmother who outshines everyone.
The usual guest appearances were just about right (as in the ver 1.0  namely Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Gingerbread Man, Bear, Blind mice, Magic mirror, Three pigs) The icing on the cake are the awesome one-liners and perfect timing. The interplay across various characters is well balanced.
Needless to say, Shrek "the next" will run high on expectations scale.
