Shrek: Forever After (2010)

The animated fairytale comes back strongly with its fourth installment.

Family fairytale fun, as the magical world of Far Far Away is back on the screens, and Shrek, the ogre, must take on evil genius Rumple Stiltskin.

When Shrek chooses to give up a day from his childhood in exchange for one day as a feared ogre again, his plan goes awry, when the deal master, Rumple, takes away the day Shrek was born! Now the beloved ogre has just one day to find his true love Fiona, and make her kiss him otherwise he will die.

An excellent addition to the Shrek series, and one that has more in common with the original film than the other two, making it one of my favourites. The story is coherent and entertaining, there are laugh out loud moments throughout, and the film has a degree of pride, unlike the other two that seemed to sell out on cheap laughs and ridiculous plots.

The 4th film, but the 2nd best.
