Shrek 2
{4.5/5} “I’m a real boy!” — Pinocchio, when he gets hit by the Fair Godmother’s wand
Shrek 2, released in 2004
When Prince Charming arrives at the castle where Princess Fiona was imprisoned he finds out he’s too late — she’s already been rescued. Shrek and Fiona return home from their honeymoon, and they’re summoned to Far Far Away by Fiona’s parents who are throwing them a ball. Of course, they don’t know that Fiona has retained her ogre look and they don’t know that her husband is an ogre.
The meet-the-parents dinner scene, with some classical music, is very funny. As is the fairy godmother’s song.
It’s about people who want others to be happy, and people who only care about themselves.
Stars the voices of Julie Andrews, Antonio Banderas, John Cleese, and Rupert Everett. Directed by Andrew Adamson (Shrek), Kelly Asbury (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron), and Conrad Vernon (The Addams Family 2).
Harry Gregson-Williams expands on the music from the first movie. The soundtrack also contains great songs like “Funkytown” and the Mission: Impossible theme.
This is the 2nd time I’ve watched it.
