The king is dying, and Shrek is next in line to the throne of Far-Far-Away. He doesn’t want to, and so the king reveals that there’s another heir to the throne, should Shrek distance himself from the position; Arthur. Arthur lives at the school of Worcestershire, where he’s being bullied around by the jousting team jocks, lead by Sir Lancelot. He is happily saved from his underdog life by Shrek and his companions and is looking forward to being king. Meanwhile, the disgruntled Prince Charming has rallied all the disgruntled fairy tale villains (wicked queen, captain hook, etc.) to help him take over Far-Far-Away and instate him as king. Shrek and his friends, together with Arthur have to fight to get the anarchistic kingdom back under control, all the while Shrek is trying to come to terms with the fact that he’s going to be a daddy.
I really liked the first Shrek, and I thought the second one was amusing. I was glad to see the third film had me in stitches once again. Entertaining.
