It went on to be the highest-grossing film of 2004.

It is DreamWorks's most successful film to date and was also the highest-grossing animated film of all time worldwide until Toy Story 3 surpassed it in 2010; it is now the seventh highest-grossing animated film of all time. It is also the seventh-highest ticket selling animated film of all time. The associated soundtrack reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. It is also the second feature-length computer animated film sequel, after Disney·Pixar's Toy Story 2.

Plot

Shrek 2's storyline follows the same plot of the movie. Shrek and Fiona are on a journey to Far, Far Away Land to visit Fiona's parents. Shrek's in-laws aren't too thrilled that a crude ogre is married to their beloved daughter, so the battle for acceptance ensues. The game also covers things not shown in the film. Plot elements are delivered primarily through a storybook interface (text and illustrations) shown before each level.

Gameplay

Based on the 2004 sequel of the same name, the player is able to play as Shrek or nine of his friends throughout the game, and travel through 11 levels, while being able to switch between the 4 characters available in each level. In each level, the player controls a team of four characters, and can switch between them at any point. Each character has a unique ability that aids them in fighting enemies or moving through the environment (for example, Donkey can destroy obstacles and Fiona can slow down time).

List of songs featured in Shrek

The Shrek Soundtracks are a collection of soundtracks from all four Shrek movies, including separate editions for the movie score. All four films star Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. Each soundtrack contains all songs featured in their respective film, and the score soundtrack contains the music composed by Harry Gregson-Williams.

Shrek

Background

Shrek introduced a new element to give the film a unique feel; The film used pop music and other oldies to make the story more forward. Covers of songs like On the Road Again and Try a Little Tenderness were integrated in the film's score. As the film was about to be completed, Katzenberg suggested to the filmmakers to redo the film's ending in order to "go out with a big laugh"; Instead of ending film with just a storybook closing over Shrek and Fiona as they ride off into the sunset, they decided to add a song "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth and show all the fairytale creatures in the film.
