Shrek 2

After watching Shrek the other day, I decided to carry on and watch the sequel.

It carries on with Shrek and Fiona as they prepare to meet the King and Queen of Far, Far Away (Fiona's parents) and take part in a royal ball.

I think I prefer the plotline of Shrek 2 to the original, probably because this film introduces so many new characters, notably Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, and Puss In Boots.

I think Jennifer Saunders does a wonderful job of voicing the Fair Godmother. She makes her seem sweet yet evil at the same time. Excellent.

Puss is my favourite character in this film, along with Donkey of course. He's just so darn adorable. I absolutely love it when he uses his eyes to win people over. So cute!!! Makes me want to get a cat.

As with the first Shrek film, the soundtrack is brilliant. It uses a very balanced mix of original score and actual songs, which I think works really well.

Generally, I find sequels to be a bit disappointing, but Shrek 2 really is just as good as the original. A great family film.
