It's not easy being an ogre, but Shrek finds it doubly difficult for an ogre like himself to fill in for a king when his father-in-law King Harold of Far, Far Away falls ill in this third Shrek movie. Shrek's attempts to fulfill his kingly duties play like a blooper reel, with boat christenings and knighting ceremonies gone terribly wrong, and to say that Shrek (Mike Myers) is insecure about his new role is a gross understatement. When King Harold (John Cleese) passes away, Shrek sets out with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) to find Arthur (Justin Timberlake), the only heir in line for the throne besides himself. Just as Shrek sets sail to find Artie (as Arthur is more commonly known), Fiona (Cameron Diaz) shocks Shrek with the news that she's pregnant. Soon after, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) sends Captain Hook (Ian McShane) in pursuit of Shrek and imprisons Fiona and her fellow Princesses as part of his plan to install himself as King of Far, Far Away. Shrek finds an awkward Artie jousting with his high school classmate Lancelot (John Krasinski) and, while Artie is certainly no picture of kingliness, Shrek is determined to drag him back to Far, Far Away to assume the throne. Mishaps and comedy abound, including a spell gone wrong that locks Donkey and Puss-in-Boots inside one another's bodies. While Fiona and the other Princesses prove they're anything but helpless women, Artie and Shrek battle their own fears of inadequacy in a struggle to discover their own self-worth. In the end, Shrek, Artie, and Fiona each learn a lot about their individual strengths and what truly makes each of them happy. Of course, it's the pervasive humor and wit that make Shrek the Third so side-splittingly appealing. Rated PG for some crude and suggestive humor, but appropriate for most families with children ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

"Meet the Cast" featurette with Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews, Rupert Everett, Justin Timberlake, co-producer Denise Nolan Cascino, co-director Raman Hui, and a host of others commenting on everything from their individual characters and the relationships between characters to some of the finer details of the film's production like the use of a real high school marching band to supply the audio for the animated school band, the animator's use of reference footage of high school cheerleaders as a guide for animating the cheerleaders, and the purposeful casting of strong comic personalities to voice the princesses. The "Lost Scenes" extra is a fascinating look at several animators pitching scenes with storyboards to a room full of people--not only is this a rare opportunity to sit in on the process of movie-making, it's a fun look at some very entertaining scenes that didn’t make it into the final film. The "Tech of Shrek" describes the technological advancements in animation since the original Shrek Shrekmovie in 1998, detailing how new technologies by Hewlett Packard and AMD made the incredible detail in this third Shrek movie possible. Other special features include humorous parenting tips from Donkey, Puss in Boots, Gingy, and others; a "Learn the Donkey Dance" segment; bloopers; and DreamWorks Kids interactive magic crystal ball game and hints on living green. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

good movie
I love animated movies, I like this one, but not as much as I liked the first and the second movies from Shrek.

Shrek the third
Shrek the third: This movie on its own is very good but I prefer the first 2 Shrek movies.

Stick with the first
Nothing like the first Shrek. Boring and lame made fall sleep while I was watching. I'm someone who laughs in all movies, but Shrek third was incapable of steal a laugh from me. If you don't want to get disappointed, stick with the first, because neither the second or the third is worth your time.
