Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.
Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to meet Fiona's parents, the King and Queen of Far Far Away. Upon arrival, they discover that Fiona's parents are shocked to learn she married an ogre and has an ogre husband. The Fairy Godmother, who has her own plans for the throne and her son Prince Charming, conspires with the King to get rid of Shrek.
Shrek 2 was a critical and commercial triumph, widely praised for its humor, animation, voice performances, and clever subversion of fairy tale tropes. It was a massive box office success, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2004 and one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.
Google audience: Audiences loved Shrek 2 for its hilarious jokes, engaging story, and memorable characters. Many found it even funnier and more creative than the first film, with particular praise for the introduction of Puss in Boots and the film's satisfying twists on classic fairy tales.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, BAFTA Award for Best Screenplay, and won numerous Annie Awards.
The character of Puss in Boots was originally conceived as a more sinister and less comical character, but his design and voice actor Antonio Banderas's performance led to him becoming a beloved, swashbuckling hero.
