Shrek 2
May 19, 2004 in theaters
Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.

"Puss would never do that. Would you, Puss?"
DID YOU KNOW?
The Fairy Godmother's song sequence required over a year of animation work to complete.
THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
The rare animated sequel that matches its predecessor by expanding the world rather than merely repeating the premise. Far Far Away is a fully realized satirical universe, Puss in Boots is one of the great supporting character introductions in franchise animation, and the film manages to be genuinely funny while sustaining the emotional throughline from the original. The Fairy Godmother is the series' best antagonist. A sequel that justified the franchise on its own terms.
