About
If you want a quick, joke-filled fairy-tale romp with twisted tropes and big comedic set pieces, Shrek 2 is likely for you—Not for you if you prefer a more serious, slower-paced fantasy like Sleeping Beauty or Disenchanted.
Pros: constant fairy-tale humor; clever pop-culture jabs; fun new villains | Cons: animation feels simpler; some music choices; a jarring pace
