Description:
“Shrek 2,” the sequel to the Academy Award-winning blockbuster “Shrek,” sends Shrek, Donkey, and Princess Fiona on a whirlwind of new adventures.
After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had … well … changed. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming, and that famed ogre killer Puss ‘n Boots to put right his version of “happily ever after.”
One of the most visually rich and technically challenging computer- animated films to date, “Shrek 2” was created by an award-winning team of over 300 artists, computer animators, software developers, and engineers at PDI/DreamWorks.
“Shrek 2” features numerous technical advancements in believable characters (facial animation, skin, hair, fur, and clothing), global illumination, special effects, and natural phenomena.
