�Shrek 2� continues in the lively, irreverent tradition of its progenitor, the 2001 CGI animated hit �Shrek,� with results that are possibly even more pleasing than the first time out. With the characters and storytelling style established, the filmmakers aren�t working quite so hard to make sure we get it and consequently seem even looser and funnier here. As �Shrek� viewers recall, that film ended with the title green ogre hero (voiced by Mike Myers) marrying Princess Fiona (voiced by Cameron Diaz), a regular fairytale type who was under a curse that caused her to become an ogress every night when the sun went down.

From the very opening, we get the impression that we have stepped into one of Dr. Seuss� books about the abstract and the strange, complete with widgets and gizmos that prompt and challenge the viewers to do different things. Viewers, especially young ones, are strongly advised to sit through the whole menu until it repeats. The two kids in the movie are a hoot to watch, whether in the film, the menu, or the outtakes. Maneuvering through the menu triggers further funny responses on the disc.

"Antz," the previous computer-animation outing from Pacific Data Images (PDI) and DreamWorks, was better than expected, but "Shrek" is a whole heck of a lot better than that. Bright, sassy and funny, at times it's also genuinely moving. Partly a sendup of fairy tales, partly an effective fairy tale itself, "Shrek" has something for everyone (including numerous gross-out jokes). However, it's unlike the Pixar/Disney films in that it isn't aimed simultaneously at everyone; the jokes at the expense of fairy tales (largely the Disney versions of those fairy tales) are for adults, while the slapstick is largely for kids. But it's a combination that worked wonders at the box office.
