Shrek III is coming (I'm so pumped!)
Filed under: That's Entertainment
The Shrek series is by far my favorite set of kids' movies. I love the characters, I love the message, and I love that I still laugh out loud every time I watch either of the first two films. (Ok, I'm not a huge fan of the violence, but I can look past that because everything else is so awesome.)
So, as you might suspect, I'm unbelievably excited for "Shrek the Third," the newest installment that's set to hit theatres this May.
For fans like me, who can't wait 'till next month to know what happens, David Germain, an Associated Press movie writer, recently a got a sneak peak of the new film, and shares his impressions on the new plot and characters in this article.
Highlights include: Antonio Banderas is coming back as Puss in Boots, Eddie Murphy is back as Donkey, Fiona is pregnant with a baby orgre, and Justin Timberlake plays Artie -- Fiona's dweeby, long-lost cousin, who is set to take the throne after King Harold (Fiona's dad) dies.
Happily ever after, indeed.

Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas on Their Chemistry in Puss in Boots
Antonio Banderas reprises his feline character Puss in Boots in this week's animated release, a spinoff of the Shrek franchise. This time, he gets a love interest in the form of Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek). I recently sat down with the leading actors, who chatted about the fact that they still manage to have chemistry as cartoons, how this isn't the first time they've played onscreen love interests (they first played lovers in 1995's Desperado), and how much they both like doing comedy.

Jonathon said...Not blood and gore violence, but I had a little trouble explaning to my toddler that it's ok for Shrek and Princess Fiona to kick people's asses, but we resolve conflicts by talking.
She's older now, and is better and distinguishing between real and pretend, but I think that's where a few of our hitting incidents came from.
