The King croaks...and Shrek revolts.

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2007)

The third in the animated comedy series. Not on par with the first two, but still very funny and a hoot to watch. Shrek(Mike Myers) comes to the realization that being king is not meant for a smelly ogre. When Princess Fiona's(Cameron Diaz)father(John Cleese), the King of Far, Far Away, croaks; Shrek is next in line to rule...the likable green Shrek sets out quickly to find the rightful heir to the throne, Artie(Justin Timberlake). Shrek is joined by Donkey(Eddie Murphy)and Puss in Boots(Antonio Banderas)in finding Artie and persuade him to accept the crown. As Shrek leaves on his journey, Fiona lets him know that he is going to be a father. Meanwhile in Far, Far Away, Prince Charming(Rupert Everett)sets things in motion to claim the royal title he thought he was cheated out of. The obligatory potty humor and lightly suggestive content scores the PG rating. Other voices featured: Eric Idle, Julie Andrews, Ian McShane and Larry King. Will Shrek and triple diaper duty continue?
