Shrek 2
went to see a movie... Shrek 2. memang kelakar giler! Character i love most would be Donkey (voice of eddie murphy). can't help myself from laughing.. ha!ha!ha! the backgrounds n the characters in this movie including the new puss-in-boots (antonio banderas) really amazing and the story is so entertaining. if u love cartoons, u should go n see for urself. u will not regret the money u have spent on it. below is a summary which i copied down from the site. hehehe..
Shrek (voice of Michael Myers) and Princess Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz) are blissfully married and honeymooning in a gingerbread house, Hansel's Honeymoon Hideaway. When they get back to the swamp, Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) is waiting to welcome them home. Heralds appear with a flourish of trumpets and an invitation from Fiona's parents to a ball in honor of the newlyweds. Shrek does not want to go. He does not think Fiona's parents will approve of him. But Fiona persuades him, and they set off for Fiona's kingdom, a land called Far Far Away.
Fiona's parents, King Harold (voice of John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews) are a bit taken aback at the sight of the newlyweds. They were expecting a human princess married to Prince Charming, not two big green ogres. However, the queen sees how happy Fiona is and tries to adjust, but the king, pushed by Fairy Godmother (voice of "Absolutely Fabulous" star Jennifer Saunders) does everything he can to get rid of Shrek, even hiring a hit man, or, more properly a hit cat -- none other than the swashbuckling Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas). But the bigger obstacle to the couple's living happily ever after is Shrek himself, who worries that Fiona would be better off married to a handsome prince. So he sets out in search of a magical solution.
And before we get to the happily ever after ending, there will be encounters with characters from the first film, including Pinocchio, the three pigs, Sleeping Beauty, and the Gingerbread Man, and a bunch of new characters, including a growly-voiced wicked stepsister (voice of Larry King!) and a very effete Prince Charming, who tosses his hair in slow motion (voice of Rupert Everett). The movie manages to make fun of just about everything, including its fairy tale sources, and yet be so resonant of the true themes of fairy tales that it is genuinely touching.
