But the memes exist because the movie has heart . The final line— "I'm an Ogre. You're a Princess. We've got a whole kingdom to annoy." —is a beautiful thesis statement. It says: Real love isn't about fitting into someone else's world. It’s about building your own weird, swampy one. Rating: 5/5 Donkeys (specifically, Donkey)
It’s smart, it’s silly, and it refuses to let the bad guys win. Watch Shrek 2
Have you watched Shrek 2 recently? Did you realize Fairy Godmother was the villain all along? Drop your favorite scene in the comments below! But the memes exist because the movie has heart
King Harold (a hilarious John Cleese) is horrified that his daughter married an ogre. Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews) is trying her best to be polite. What follows is a classic rom-com crisis: Shrek feels he isn't good enough for Fiona, so he makes a deal with the swashbuckling, scene-stealing Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) and the scheming Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) to become "handsome." We've got a whole kingdom to annoy
Let’s be honest: sequels usually sink. For every Empire Strikes Back , there are a dozen Speed 2: Cruise Control s. So when DreamWorks dropped Shrek 2 in 2004—hot on the heels of the culture-shaking original—nobody expected a masterpiece. We expected a cash grab.
If you have never watched Shrek 2 , you are missing a pivotal piece of animation history. If you have, it’s time to revisit Far Far Away. Notice the background jokes (the Starbucks parody "Farbucks"), appreciate the fluid animation of Puss’s "cute" attack, and cry a little when Shrek reads Fiona’s diary.
