I find that sometime sequals are not as good as the originals, but in this case it was equally as good, if not better.

Shrek continues to be the Loveable Ogre that we know and love, but becomes frustrated at the prospect of meeting his In-Laws. Anyway, they set off to the Land of Far Far Away with Donkey in tow. Of course Fiona's parents are unaware that their daughter and new Husband are Ogre's. The atmosphere is rather akward. The Dinner scene is Hilarious.

Fiona's Dad sets a plan to get rid of Shrek, which of course doesn't quite go to plan. This is where Puss In Boots enters the story. Shrek decides to get a magic potion to make him SEXY!!. Donkey gets to test the potion first, but when nothing happens Shrek drinks the rest, and hopes for the best.

The next morning with appearances changed they all set off to find Fiona. Fiona has been tricked into thinking that Prince Charming is Shrek. Prince Charming is the Son of the Fairy Godmother who makes all the potions in the Land. The Fairy Godmother traps Shrek and gets him put in Jail. This is where his friends from the Swamp come to the rescue.

After this it is a race to the end so that Shrek can find Fiona before she kisses Prince Charming. More potions involved here.

Anyway to cut a long story short, this film has some very funny scenes, with some very catchy music, and of course a Happily Ever After Ending. You don't have to have seen the First film to enjoy this, but it helps to know who the characters are. There are of course some great New characters in this one. Hope I havn't given too much of the story away.

Animation is superb as you would expect. With a great cast. You will probably recognise most of the names.

A great Family film which you can enjoy again and again. The bonus features are O.K. A few games, quiz's and a special appearance by Simon Cowell. I just love the film on it's own.

Please let me know if you would like more info.
