Shrek 2Very few sequels have been as lauded as Shrek 2. Coming out in 2004, Shrek 2 continued from where the original left off but expanded the franchise in a bigger, funnier, and more ambitious direction than before.
The inclusion of new characters such as Puss in Boots, Fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming was immediately a game changer for the franchise. Puss became one of the most loved animation characters and Fairy Godmother one of the greatest villains DreamWorks ever created.
Many claim that what makes Shrek 2 a masterpiece is its ability to combine comedy and drama in perfect measure as the movie tackles themes of insecurity, self-worth, and relationships in the process while providing some of the funniest parts of the franchise.
A part that is particularly notable in this regard is the "Holding Out for a Hero" song.
Additionally, the sequel provided more material for the fairy-tale parody which made the original so appealing by introducing an entire kingdom of Far Far Away along with some very funny characters.
Those who liked the first movie will love Shrek 2 as the franchise got even better on all fronts.
