The 'Shrek' sequel improved on animation, characters, and had more thematic depth, making it a better movie than the original.
Great sequels are hard to pull off. They’re especially hard when the first film was a colossal hit. And that’s exactly what Shrek was. Looking back on the film that introduced everyone’s favorite green ogre to the world, it’s easy to lose sight of just how big of a sensation it was. Besides being a critical and commercial smash hit, the film played in the competition for the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to win the first-ever Best Animated Feature Oscar at the Academy Awards.
Now married and returning from their honeymoon, Fiona introduces Shrek to her royal family. But when Shrek and the King get off on the wrong foot with no sign of improving, Shrek begins to question whether he is worth all the trouble. It’s in this that Shrek 2 becomes a touching study into self-worth and what it means to love someone unconditionally. Just like the first film, the climax of the sequel offers more than just exciting action.
Simultaneously one of the best action sequences and musical sequences in any animated film, the Fairy Godmother breaks into a now-iconic rendition of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For a Hero” as Shrek and his gang attempt to seize the royal castle. The sequence alone is better than anything from the first Shrek, as everything from the Mission: Impossible homage to the giant Gingerbread Man plays like gangbusters.
