Shrek 2 [DVD]

Product Information

However, the Fairy Godmother, having discovered the theft, has sent Charming to pose as Shrek and win Fiona's love. This exchange is overheard by Shrek, Donkey, and Puss, who are arrested by the royal knights after Donkey inadvertently exposes them. His writing of Shrek 2 was inspired by the 1967 comedy-drama film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and was completed with the help of the film's co-directors, Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon, who spent most of the film's production duration in Northern California while Adamson spent most of his time with the film's voice actors in Glendale, California.

The film was then moved forward from June 18, 2004, to May 21, 2004; however, due to "fan demand", it was released two days earlier from May 21, 2004, to May 19, 2004. While the royal ball begins, the fairy tale creatures whom Shrek and Donkey had met during their previous adventure arrive at the dungeon to rescue the trio, and they all storm the castle with the help of a monstrous living gingerbread man created by the Muffin Man. This also puts the film at 14th on the all-time domestic box office list [44] and 42nd on the worldwide box office list. It spent ten weeks in the weekly Top 10, remaining there until July 29, and stayed in theaters for 149 days (roughly twenty-one weeks), closing on November 25, 2004.

Until the sun went down and they saw that their daughter was cursed with a frightful enchantment that took hold each and every night. Shrek 2 remained the highest-grossing animated film worldwide until the release of Toy Story 3 (2010), [11] and held the record for the highest-grossing animated film at the North American box office until the release of Finding Dory (2016) [49] [50] as well as the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at this box office until the release of The Super Mario Bros. The film is dedicated to the memory of Shrek creator William Steig, who died on October 3, 2003, eight months before the film was released.

Puss in Boots: On my honor, I am obliged to accompany you until I have saved your life as you have spared me mine.The DVD release features two full-length commentary tracks, one by co-directors Conrad Vernon and Kelly Asbury, and a second by producer Aron Warner and editor Michael Andrews. Recently, we've done several changes to help out this wiki, from deleting empty pages, improving the navigation, adding a rules page, as well as merging film infoboxes. In particular, Puss in Boots necessitated development of a whole new set of film production tools to handle the appearance of his fur, belt, and hat plume; Puss' fur especially required an upgrade to the fur shader. It scored the second-largest three-day opening weekend in United States history and the largest opening for an animated film at the time of its release. Its critical consensus reads, "It may not be as fresh as the original, but topical humor and colorful secondary characters make Shrek 2 a winner in its own right.
