SHREK FOREVER AFTER by Mike Mitchell
Shrek, missing being a “real ogre”, is tricked by Rumpelstiltskin into giving him one day of his life in exchange for one day being a real ogre again. Rumpelstiltskin takes away the day Shrek is born, so he never rescued Fiona from the dragon and never met Donkey and Puss in Boots. Now Rumpelstiltskin is the evil emperor of Far Far Away, Fiona is the leader of the resistance, and Shrek has only one day to straighten things out.
The latest – and probably last – of the Shrek franchise, Forever After comes in 3D, but without the charm, wit and sparkling originality of Shrek. Arguably better than Shrek the Third and not a total fail, it’s still a disappointment and it seems about time to let the franchise rest in peace.
