Shrek 2

Kids favourite movie watch it over and over again

Continuing the saga of Shrek! As funny as the original. A must-have for adults and children alike. Shrek gets to meet Fiona's parents, who, with the help of Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) seek to destroy Shrek and Fiona's romance.

Excellent family entertainment, good follow up to the first film. Got it for under £4 which was well worth it! All the original voices are in it, plus new characters. Jennifer Saunders steals the show as the fairy godmother! They've animated her really well and her signing bonnie Tyler's holding out for hero is very impressive! Well recommended

What can I say about the film that hasn't already been said? Not much that would do it the justice it richly deserves I'm afraid. All I can do is recommend it to anyone who by some miracle hasn't been forced by their friends to watch it yet. The plot is believable, at least as far as cartoon plots involving talking donkeys and mercenary moggies can be believable, but it's the details in which Shrek 2 really excels. The little background stuff you might not really pay attention to the first time round but makes the film more and more watchable each time, for example the shop names in Far Far Away, the 'Love Potion Number IX' and so much more. My one and only quibble with the film in this format and the reason I couldn't quite bring myself to give it full marks is Doris, the ugly stepsister. One of my favourite jokes/characters in the film, a genuine highlight of the film for me is her first conversation with the king. So when I first sat down to watch the DVD after it had arrived I must have been leaning forward in my seat waiting for it when, at the moment of truth, I found my silly anticipatory grin wiped away and replaced by disbelief at the sound of Jonathon Ross's voice where Larry King's should have been. It honestly spoilt my enjoyment of the film by no small amount as I sat furiously puzzling over why oh god why would they put his voice in there?! I notice that the 2 disc edition has an 'international star dubbing featurette' which no doubt explains why they thought it was such a good idea but I don't imagine that any expanation could fully cover Jonathon Ross's involvement. Fwankly, his voice just doesn't seem to convey the right image to me. But maybe that's just me. So the point of my rant? Great film but if you're going to buy the English version DVD, get the 2 disc-er to hopefully see the original dub or if you've got a multi-region player just go for the American version and you definitely won't be disappointed.

Grandson enjoys watching this time and time again

Brilliant ! Both of my grandsons aged 3 and 4, absolutely love it . They both have this DVD at home and one at nannies house. Definitely a favourite. Great movie ! And getting them to sit and chill for a while gives nannie a rest , which is an added bonus. .

This dvd was bought as a replacement for the first one.It was scored taken it from the player by one of my younger grand kids who now knows Don't Touch means just that my grand kids love getting up to my house they would seat no fighting or talking when they go into my book study where there television is all I hear is laughing from it

I have bought two of these from Amazon UK, July 2018 and October 2019. One from HMV (replaced) and every one has had a coloured stripe running down the right hand side of the picture. So have now bought one in Region 1 from Amazon US and it plays perfectly. DreamWorks, get your act together.

Bought this to replace our original copy as it was scratched & missing its case. This purchase arrived on time, case & sleeve in perfect shape, and no issues with the disc itself. Cute funny movie and despite being 20ish years old (my word...doesn't seem like it was that long ago!!), my son still likes to watch 2-3x/year. He has special needs & loves his animated movies DVD collection. Watches one every night before going to bed, so I'm very appreciative these DVD's are still available for purchase as he prefers those to streaming services.

La mejor pelicula de la saga, ocurrente, emotuva, con un gran mensaje y en 3D vale mucho la pena y mas en 3D

Disco perfetto e consegna altrettanto perfetta

Super DVD à avoir dans vos placards ;-)

More lavish animation, more unforgettable characters, more great songs, more sharply intelligent wit and comedy - all that and more goes into this sequel to the wildly successful Shrek. The look and feel of this film really are incredible and amazingly realistic, especially in terms of all the human characters. Unlike most films built upon a unique, breathtaking visual style, though, Shrek 2 relies upon a strong and compelling plot for its greatest success. Even though the first film introduced us to Shrek-oriented parodies of fairy tales, motion pictures, music, and pop culture in general, the script still works its magic by consistently surprising and delighting the audience. It's a worthy successor to a blockbuster of a film - although I still liked the first film better. Aye, I laughed pretty much from beginning to end during Shrek 2, but the film lacked some of the truly gut-busting comic antics of the original. Do I really need to rehash the plot here? Shrek's and Fiona's newfound happiness together is put to the test when Shrek's royal in-laws, the king and queen of Far Far Away, invite their daughter and her new husband home for a marriage celebration. The folks expect Prince Charming, of course, and are less than prepared for the ogre factor. Prince Charming is none too happy, either, and his mother the glamorous Fairy Godmother (you just can't trust a fairy godmother anymore these days) sets out to right the wrong caused by Shrek's unexpected rescue of Fiona. The king is a willing accomplice, even going so far as to contract a hit on Shrek with the renowned feline assassin Puss in Boots. In order to keep Fiona, Shrek makes the ultimate sacrifice, turning himself into a handsome man, but the Fairy Godmother thwarts him at every turn. Even with the help of his friends from back home in the swamp, it looks like the honeymoon - and marriage itself - is over. Everyone seems to be wild about Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, and he does make a great addition to the Shrek universe. The heart of Shrek, however, still remains in the able voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy. It's pretty simple, really - if you enjoyed Shrek, you will certainly enjoy Shrek 2. The extras on the DVD add even more delight to the Shrek 2 experience. The Far Far Away Idol contest is a brilliant addition. You get not one but two filmmaker commentaries (but, sadly, no commentaries with any of the actors), and several looks at the making of the film are also worthy of your time. The rest of the special features are a little less impressive than they look, however - several of them basically just take you to selected scenes from the film itself. Still, there's plenty here to occupy your time and magnify the entertainment value of an ingenious film all but guaranteeing a good time for one and all.
