Shrek 3

Finally I managed to catch the long awaited sequel of Shrek, with the cast coming together for another blast.
Just when the ogre family is about to return to swamp, Fiona's father becomes very ill and they are temporarily asked to handle the matters of the state. Shrek 'handles them' without much success. Unfortunately, Fiona's father dies of illness, naming another possible heir to the throne.
Shrek, in his bid to return to normality, sets out with his trusted camaderie to find Arthur, the next king. Before his departure, Fiona tells him that she is pregnant. All along the way, Shrek is put through nightmare of babies.
While Shrek is away, Prince Charming is frustrated with his lowly life and decides to get the throne that was his all along. With a undercover partner, he manages to capture the nice royal ladies, while preparing a plan to kill Shrek.
Shrek manages to find Arthur and they start for Far Far Away. On the way, Arthur is put through the true state of royalties and he panics. During the commotion, the ship crashes and they are stranded. But they meet Arthur's magic teacher and he transports them back to their land.
Shrek finds the state of Far Far Away through Pinocchio and they almost escape, but fall into Prince Charming's hands. Meanwhile, Fiona and the other's escape, only to get recaptured because of Charming's spy.
Finally Charming executes his plan in killing Shrek, but things take a turn and all ends happily with Arthur becoming the king and Shrek and Fiona returning to their swamp and starting a family.
I loved Shrek 1 and noticed that the Shrek 2 went down a bit. Although Shrek wasn't as good as 1, it was better than 2. Definitely worth the watch, but I don't know if it was memorable. The scene where the old frog king is dying was hilarious as was the transposition of the cat and donkey.
