Shrek The Third (DVD)

For those who were possibly disappointed with the second <Shrek movie: this one puts things right back on track again. It’s maybe even cuter than the original…with a whole string of well-known voices. Eric Idle is easy enough; but see if you can spot that of Larry King!

The opening sequence is like something out of Spike Milligan’s first novel, “Puckoon.” However, King Harold (John Cleese) is dying. As Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and Shrek (Mike Myers) both decline the throne, Shrek & company are sent out on a quest to find Arthur Pendragon (Justin Timberlake) who will be the new king of Far Far Away. As he leaves, Fiona tells Shrek that she is pregnant. Meanwhile, Prince Charming (Robert Everett) enlists the help of a colony of well-known fairytale villains to conspire to make him the new ruler in Shrek’s absence.

Like Flushed Away, much of the humour is so subtle that you’ll probably miss it the first time round. (I know I did!) For example: Some White’s animals include rabbits Hazel and Fiver from <Watership Down!

I give it the highest possible praise; but it’s not for those who don’t have a sense of humour!

Third outing for the computer-generated ogre franchise. When his frog-in-law suddenly croaks, Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) embarks on another whirlwind adventure with Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas) to find the rightful heir to the throne, the awkward Arthur (voice of Justin Timberlake). Unfortunately the envious Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett) has designs on the throne himself, joining with other fairytale villains in a coup d'etat to seize the crown. Can Shrek, with a magically misguided Merlin (voice of Eric Idle), a powerful posse of princesses, and a bundle of unexpected arrivals, manage to save the day?
