This makes me happy.

One of my favorite movies of the past several years is Shrek. Howlingly funny, great music, lots of little gags to pick up on when rewatching, and one of the few movie romances I've found truly moving. I was, honestly, not too thrilled when I heard they were doing a sequel, because sequels usually suck, and anyway, how do you do a sequel to a fairy tale? I was imagining all those dreadful Disney straight-to-video sequels (think Cinderella 2: Electric Boogaloo). Well, here's a pleasant surprise:

Shrek 2 even better than Shrek

"At one point, Donkey turns to Puss-in-Boots with the withering comment, 'I'm sorry, but the position of annoying talking animal has already been taken.'"

Rock on.

I am so happy to see they did a good job with this since I enjoyed the first one so much.

Shrek makes me happy, and I've heard Antonio Banderas is hilarious as Puss n Boots.This is one I will NOT miss. I get such flak for loving Shrek, but oh well. It IS very funny.

You shouldn't get flak! Shrek is cool! Cool people like Shrek!

You're right!

Shrek rules. Anything that can make that much fun of itself and get away with it just owns permanently. I can still make myself giggle with that damn bird scene and the eggs followup - and the trailer for Shrek 2 is veeeery promising indeed. :D

I just saw a preview of it tonight. I definately enjoyed it better than the first one. Puss In Boots really steals the show. Some of the best jokes revolve around the Kingdom of Far Far Away as a parody of Los Angeles. There are many quick visual gags - one in particular involving a parody of the TV show "Cops" and another involving a certain coffee store that we've all come to bow down before. All in all, it's great fun.

I LOOVED Shrek, but I was sold on the sequel when I saw Antonio Banderas doing the hairball scene as Puss in Boots. :)
