Brilliant stuff

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2007)

When the King of Far Far Away is about to die it becomes clear that an heir to the throne must be found. Shrek and Fiona are in Far Far Away but Shrek doesn't feel much for the throne. So, the search is on for another heir.
Shrek The Third picks up where Shrek 2 left of. Everyone is back in action and ready to roll from the first minute. And that's why this film works out so well - all players are right in their places in their specific roles and there is more than enough of a story to tell to keep things going for the full length of the film. Add to that the animations for this one that are a lot better than the ones used in the first film and it can't be much of a surprise that this third part is better than the first part and better than the second part.
For the rest it brings just what is to be expected: a lot of dark and cynical views on fairy tales and a good lot of one like jokes that are somehow connected by the mad adventures to the many figures that run around through the film. So, all in all, a very worthy third party to the series. Looking forward to part IV.
