Shrek 2

Shrek 2

When the romance between the ogre Shrek and his beloved Fiona is threatened by the intolerance of her royal parents, Shrek tries to secure the princess’s love by making a difficult and possibly fateful choice. This sequel to 2001’s Shrek was an even bigger box-office smash than the original, which won the first Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. It also added an unforgettable new character to the Shrek-verse: the swashbuckling Puss in Boots, hilariously voiced by Antonio Banderas. Shrek 2 was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film and Original Song, for “Accidentally In Love,” written and performed by the band Counting Crows.
