Personally, I can't wait for this movie! The first one was hilarious and the 2nd one should be even better! Anyone else agree?

Story

Official
In this highly-anticipated sequel the fairytale continues as Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona depart to visit Fiona's parents in the Kingdom of Far, Far Away and embark on a whirlwind of new adventures.


In Jeffrey Katzenberg's own words from an April 2002 press junket: "After returning from their honeymoon and showing 'home movies' to their friends, Shrek and Fiona learn Fiona's parents have heard their daughter has married her true love and wish to meet the husband and invite him to their kingdom, called Far Far Away. When Shrek and Fiona arrive, the fun begins, because the parents had assumed that she had fallen in love with Prince Charming [and are a bit shocked to learn thier son-in-law is a 700-pound ogre with horrible hygeine and a talking donkey]. So it's a little bit of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner meets Shrek."

Jeffrey Katzenberg revealed a few more nuggets in a June 2003 interview: "Shrek 2 is about coming to terms with the fact that everything that happened in the first Shrek was a gigantic mistake. Shrek was not meant to rescue Fiona. Her true love was meant to be Prince Charming. There was a whole plan of what was going to happen to Fiona, her future and her kingdom, and Shrek has made a fine mess of all of it." That means straightening out the tangled plot. "It begins with an invitation from Fiona's mom and dad, who, you recall, locked her away in a castle to await Prince Charming's kiss," he says. Fiona's folks, voiced by Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian, and Cleese, are in for a surprise when a rude, crude lime-hued dude arrives instead of a courtly prince. As Katzenberg says, "When Fiona steps out of the carriage, it's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? [Puss 'n Boots] and Donkey become rivals and, ultimately, buddies."


Unofficial

The film begins with pages from a fairytale book (a la Shrek), showing how the magical world was upset by Shrek taking the place of Prince Charming by marrying Princess Fiona. It turns out Prince Charming is the son of none other than the Fairy Godmother, who has not given up hope for a Happily Ever After for her darling impossibly handsome child.

After a raucous honeymoon, including a spoof of the famous Here to Eternity beach scene where a mermaid tries to steal Shrek from Fiona, Shrek is taken to meet Fiona's parents. The only problem is, Fiona's parents (the King and Queen of Far Far Away Land) are expecting Princess Fiona and Prince Charming, rather than the two ogres that alight from the pumpkin carriage to greet them on the red carpet.

The sequel takes place in Far Far Away, a fantastic fairytale spin on Beverly Hills: instead of the Hollywood Sign, "Far Far Away" graces the nearby hills; various fairytale characters own large estates, including Rapunzel and Jack (the Beanstalk rises up from behind his gates). Far Far Away even sports its own Gap clothing store and stretch carriage limousines. When the King tries to have Shrek killed in favor of Prince Charming, the fun starts. The King employs the services of Puss 'n' Boots, who, despite his best efforts, fails miserably and joins Shrek on his quest for Fiona. After drinking a "Happily Ever After" potion to try and win back his wife, Shrek (and Donkey) are transformed into beautiful versions of themselves, which causes all sorts of mistaken identities; arrests; and an appearance by Shrek and Donkey on the Fairytale version of Cops: Knights. The episode of Knights is seen by Pinocchio, Gingerbread Man and the Three Little Pigs on television (the magic mirror) as they house-sit Shrek's swamp abode. Deciding to rescue Shrek and Donkey, the film moves into high gear as the Fairytale group resort to a ridiculously entertaining way to save them and storm the castle.

I'll see it, and maybe even enjoy it. But more than likely not as much as the first, or anywhere near.

This sounds more familyish or kidish in comparison.

I don't know! I think if they bring Donkey back, the family vibe level will be the same! If anything, I think they will target the same audience because that is what got the 1st one so big!

The film picks up right where the first movie ended... Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon to find a letter from Fiona's parents inviting the newlyweds over for dinner. The only problem is that they have no idea that their daughter is now an ogre.

"Shrek 2" involves Shrek (Mike Myers) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) getting invited to her parents' home for a post-wedding celebration. However, her mother and father (Julie Andrews and John Cleese) have no idea that they are both ogres--and her parents may have a surprise of their own in store for Shrek and Fiona. Donkey (Eddie Murphy) will be returning, as well as Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow).

Donkey rules!!
