About Shrek 2
- Released on May 19, 2004
In the enchanting and humorous sequel, 'Shrek 2', our favorite ogre, Shrek, embarks on an exciting journey along with his beloved wife Fiona and their ever-chattering sidekick, Donkey. This time, they venture far from their swamp to the land of Far, Far Away to attend a royal ball and meet Fiona's royal parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian. The characters in this animated delight include the talented Morwenna Banks as the voice behind Tess, the Ugly Stepsister, and Tim Healy as Ian, the Dancing Penguin.
Upon their arrival, Shrek and Fiona find themselves in a whirlwind of glamour, elegance, and high society etiquettes, which leaves our rugged and unrefined hero feeling out of place. Meanwhile, the King, played by the late John Cleese, struggles to accept his son-in-law, creating tension between the two and causing friction in Fiona and Shrek's marriage.
As if this were not enough, the manipulative Fairy Godmother, voiced by Jennifer Saunders, has her own wicked plans in motion. She had envisioned her son, Prince Charming, played by Rupert Everett, to be the one to marry Fiona, and Shrek's unexpected appearance in the picture disrupts her grand scheme. In an act of vengeance, the Fairy Godmother uses her magical powers to poison King Harold's mind against Shrek, and she also bewitches Fiona, attempting to destroy their blossoming love. The movie is filled with laughter, action, and tender moments that remind us of the importance of staying true to ourselves and the power of love and friendship.
