Released in 2004, Shrek the 2 is a popular sequel to the original Shrek, and continues the hilarious adventures of the ogre Shrek and his new wife Fiona. This animated comedy begins after their fairytale wedding, traveling to a faraway kingdom to meet Fiona’s parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian.
The film brilliantly combines humor and heart, showcasing Shrek’s insecurities about whether he is worthy of royal status.
