Shrek 2, released in the United States on 19 May 2004, is the 2004 sequel to the 2001 computer-animated DreamWorks Pictures film Shrek. In April 2004 the film was selected for competition at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. There are more Shrek movies to follow according to Jeffrey Katzenberg. 'We didn't have the guts to tell anybody when we started out, (but) we have two more chapters to tell. Not unlike Peter Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings. The difference is they did have the guts to make all three of them back to back to back.'
Shrek 2 scored the fourth largest three day opening weekend in US history, as well as the largest opening for an animated movie until 18 May 2007, when it was eclipsed by its sequel Shrek the Third. As of 2006, it is the 3rd highest box office grossing film of all time in the United States. Worldwide, it is the ninth highest-grossing film of all time. It went on to be the most successful film in 2004. The associated soundtrack reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. It is also the highest grossing animated film of all time (seventh after adjusting for inflation http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm).
Shrek (Myers) has rescued Princess Fiona (Diaz), got married, and now is time to meet the parents. Shrek, Fiona and Donkey (Murphy) set off to Far, Far Away to meet Fiona's mother (Andrews) and father (Cleese). But not everyone is happy. Shrek and the King find it hard to get along, and there's tension in the marriage. It's not just the family who are unhappy. Prince Charming (Everett) returns from a failed attempt at rescuing Fiona, and works alongside his mother, the Fairy Godmother (Saunders), to try and find a way to get Shrek away from Fiona.

The film picks up right where the first movie ended... Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon to find a letter from Fiona's parents inviting the newlyweds over for dinner. The only problem is that they have no idea that their daughter is now an ogre. Written by Britney
Right after their honeymoon the newly wed couple goes to Princess Fiona's parents for dinner. When a Fairy God Mother discovers Fiona and Shrek are married she reminds the king about a deal they agreed on years ago that Fiona should have married Prince Charming (her son). The king then hires a cat named Puss-in-Boots (a sword fighting cat and ogre slayer) to kill Shrek. Written by Organic_6@msn.com
