Now newlyweds, Shrek and Fiona return from a blissful honeymoon. Fiona’s parents invited them to come and have dinner in their kingdom far away. But they have no idea that their daughter has become a stunning ocher… This marriage also threatens the future and the king’s most secret projects…
“When Jeffrey Katzenberg proposed to me Shrek 2At first I thought we cheated ourselves by ending Shrek with the Ogre and Princess getting married. Andrew Adamson commented at the time. add: “In the classic fairy tale, everything ends here and the traditional “…and they had many children” comes in. But, for us, this union has turned into a new adventure. Why? Because you don’t just get married. Your partner, but the whole family!”
Therefore, this sequel was released three years after the first part, which was also crowned with the Oscar for the best animated film. Let’s keep it simple: in terms of creativity, gags, pacing, characters, and even references to other movies, Shrek 2 Head and shoulders above the first part of the Green Ogre saga, which is far from worthless, that said. And in animated films, examples of sequels that are superior to the original films are certainly not legion.
A favorite of the second opus, which also owes a lot to the sensational arrival of Antonio Banderas, brilliantly dubbed (at least in the original version). A character that will become so popular that it will even be allowed to spin off. A tale without forgetting the godfather character, actually rotten to the core, who is none other than Prince Charming’s mother.
20 years (and yes, already!) since his sensational arrival in cinemas, Shrek the Ogre is still putting on a show. And it can be seen (or previewed!) on Prime Video.
