Why Shrek 2 Is The Perfect Sequel

After the massive success of the original Shrek, DreamWorks could have easily made a cheap direct to dvd follow up built around the same characters and jokes. Instead, Shrek 2 somehow managed to do what most sequels struggle with: become bigger without losing what made the first movie special. How does Shrek 2 work as well as it does? From its seamless continuation of Shrek and Fiona's love story to its expanded world, sharper satire, hilarious new characters, and surprisingly mature character development. The movie doesn't simply repeat the original Shrek. It understands what made that movie work, then finds new ways to explore those ideas. And somehow, it also gave us Puss in Boots. So what exactly makes Shrek 2 such a perfect sequel? #shrek #shrek2 #pussinboots #dreamworks
