Shrek 2 was the inevitable 2004 sequel to the DreamWorks Animation Breakthrough Hit Shrek.It follows ogres Shrek (Mike Myers) and Fiona (Cameron Diaz), now a happily married couple, enjoying their honeymoon. Everything is just 'fine... until the time comes to Meet the In-Laws. The new couple is summoned by Fiona's parents, rulers of the kingdom of Far Far Away, who wish to celebrate their daughter's marriage. Of course, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) is along for the ride.Fiona's parents — King Harold (John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews) — are shocked to learn that their daughter has been transformed permanently into her ogre form and that she married an ogre to boot. Though they try to accept their daughter's wishes as best they can, King Harold made a deal with Fiona's Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) a long time ago that Fiona would marry her son, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), in order to give everyone involved their own happily ever afters. With the patience of the Godmother wearing thin, a desperate Harold hires a hitman, Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), to get rid of the ogre and fix the fairy tale gone wrong.The film was a huge financial success, being the highest-grossing film to date for both DreamWorks Animation and its former parent company DreamWorks Pictures, the highest-grossing film of 2004, and the highest grossing animated film at the time of its release (before being surpassed by Pixar's Toy Story 3 six years later in 2010); it held an iron grip on the corresponding North American record for twelve years before finally being surpassed by Finding Dory. It was also critically acclaimed, with many crediting the film for surpassing the original in quality. It was followed by Shrek the Third; released in 2007, and Shrek Forever After; released in 2010. Puss, meanwhile, received a self-titled prequel in 2011, which itself got a sequel (set sometime after Forever After) in 2022.Previews: Trailer #1, Trailer #2 | |

Love Potion | |
| Shrek 2 / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: Deconstructed. They're depicted as a shallow act of desperation which, disturbingly, removes the element of choice from the person on who they've been used. Basically, the fantasy equivalent of a date rape drug. Fiona's fairy godmother orders Harold to pour one into Fiona's drink so that she will fall in love with Prince Charming instead of Shrek. King Harold, reasonably, views this as a horrific breach of consent, but reluctantly taints some tea in order to fulfill his end of his deal. Turns out, Harold didn't give Fiona the potion after all — he deliberately gave Fiona the untainted cup of tea. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: Puss in Boots is hired by the King to assassinate Shrek. Unlike his fairy tale counterpart, he does not rely on trickery, opting instead for an all-out attack- which is interrupted by a hairball, leaving Puss vulnerable. Shrek and Donkey spare him, and the grateful Puss decides he owes the ogre a life debt. Although there is some tension from Donkey, who seems nervous that the cat is taking his place as "annoying talking animal", the three eventually become close friends and allies. | |

Parents as People: Harold clearly loves Fiona very much, but also has his own views of what a happily ever after for a princess should be. To this end, he has a secret Deal with the Devil involving his daughter entering an Arranged Marriage with the son of the dangerous Fairy Godmother. He does eventually have a Heel–Face Turn when he sees how unhappy Fiona is without Shrek, and realizes the true weight of his imposition upon her. However, his fears turn out to be completely justified. | |

As the Happily Ever After potion takes effect on Shrek, elsewhere, Fiona announces her ultimate decision to her parents. She tells them that she's going to do "what's best" by looking for her husband and returning to their swamp together. If anything, this shows that contrary to Shrek's fears, his wife was going to side with him all along. Likewise, Fiona doesn't know her husband has already taken the steps to better himself like she wanted. | |

Gassy Scare: Shrek is skeptical about whether the Happily Ever After potion works and apprehensive about transforming from an ogre into a handsome human if it does work. When he drinks it, an ominous gurgling from his belly sends Donkey and Puss running for cover behind a log while Shrek stands there with an uncomfortable look on his face as he anticipates a Painful Transformation. Instead he lets out a huge fart, which Donkey complains about. | |

Funny Background Event: In the scene where Fiona confronts her father when she wakes up to find Shrek gone, castle servants can be seen polishing a tree planter and climbing a ladder to nowhere (and falling off in the widescreen version). In a scene just after Fairy Godmother catches Shrek and company spying on her business, some local knights are seen giving the Headless Horseman a sobriety test, moments before Shrek and his pals barge past them. What's particularly amusing is that they appear to be giving him the "touch your nose" test. | |

Prefers the True Form: Shrek has turned himself into a human due to thinking that the once-human Fiona would prefer him that way.

Sickeningly Sweethearts: Charming attempts to invoke this with Fiona when he's pretending to be Shrek, by calling her "muffin cake". However, he only makes Fiona more repulsed by him, nearly causing her to run away from the ball. | |

Dramatically Delayed Drug | |
| Shrek 2 / int_2b93f2de | comment |
Dramatically Delayed Drug: After he and Puss help Shrek steal the Happily Ever After potion, Donkey takes a swig first to make sure it's safe to drink. When nothing happens to him, Shrek assumes the potion simply doesn't work on donkeys and drinks the rest, but when nothing happens to him either, he dejectedly assumes that he and Fiona "were never meant to be". Later that night, as the three stop to make camp, Shrek and Donkey suddenly pass out, and when they come to, they find the potion has indeed taken effect: Shrek is now human (as is Fiona, unbeknownst to them), and Donkey is now a stallion. Conveniently, this gives them a full day to obtain true love's kiss and make the potion's effects permanent before they revert back to normal at midnight. | |

Reveling in the New Form: When Donkey is turned into a horse due to drinking the potion, he enjoys it, since he can whinny, trot, and count by stomping, and he feels "sexy". He even does a Rapid-Fire "No!" when he turns back into a donkey. Pinocchio does a Happy Dance when he briefly turns into a real boy. | |

Must Make Amends: Harold, after his Heel–Face Turn. First, he switches Fiona's potion-tainted teacup with his own, to prevent her from being spellbound as Fairy Godmother demanded she be. Then, he protects Shrek from Fairy Godmother by Taking the Bullet when she tries to destroy Shrek with a magic blast, turning Harold back into a frog but defeating Fairy Godmother when the blast is sent back at her. Finally, by accepting Shrek into the family and giving his blessing to Shrek and Fiona's marriage. | |

Misplaced Retribution: King Harold, the Fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming hold Shrek in contempt for unwittingly interfering in the deal arranged by the former two by beating Charming to the punch in rescuing Fiona from the Dragon's Keep, except the only reason he had done so in the first place was because Lord Farquaad had chosen Shrek's swamp as a dumping ground for the Fairy tale creatures he was cracking down on and agreed to have them removed if Shrek went and fetched Fiona for him. | |

Hold Your Hippogriffs: A lot of the humor of the series comes from putting a fairy tale twist on modern names and concepts, such as watching K.N.I.G.H.T.S. on a magic mirror, or eating a meal from Old MacDonald's with Baskin Robin Hood ice cream for dessert. (These are both actual places shown in the film.) | |

Actor Allusion: Puss, played by Antonio Banderas, is Zorro as a cat - right down to the trademark letter-carved-on-a-tree. The scene where Puss first attacks Shrek. Once again, a character played by Mike Myers gets jumped by a Pint-Sized Powerhouse. King Harold makes an excuse about his old "crusade wound" acting up. As Basil Fawlty, John Cleese was known for making similar claims about a shrapnel injury he suffered during the Korean War. Surely, 'twas only a flesh wound? This also isn't the first time that Cleese has played a frog in an animated film. | |

When selecting the ingredients for the love potion, the Fairy Godmother adds "just a pinch" of Lust from a massive bottle. The fact that she literally uses the word "lust" is pretty boundary-pushing on its own, but she pours it out of a bleach-shaped bottle. In other words, it's basically suggesting that anyone who takes the love potion is drinking bleach. | |

Was Just Leaving: Exploited. Persuaded by his newest enemy-turned-ally, Shrek goes to Fairy Godmother's workshop to get a magical solution to his problems. Unbeknownst to Shrek, Fairy Godmother has an agenda against him and refuses to sell him a potion. After she monologues about how there are no ogres in any happy ending, one of her workers burst into her office to bring her lunch. The worker says they can return later but Shrek has other plans —namely, sneaking into the factory proper to steal the potion. He politely excuses himself and his companions while wearing a mischievous expression. | |

Have We Met?: A female frog seems to recognize King Harold at the Poison Apple and asks "Do I know you?" At first, it seems as though she recognized him as the King of Far Far Away, but later on in the film its revealed that King Harold originally was a frog who was turned human by the Fairy Godmother to win Queen Lilian's heart. Thus there is a strong possibility the frog at the bar was one of his old flames. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Shrek, as he was in the first film. King Harold, somewhat. He vehemently opposes having an ogre in the family, and simultaneously wants what is best for Fiona; he inaccurately connects these dots to conclude that Shrek must be removed for Fiona to be happy. However, when he realizes Fiona is happy, and that he couldn't possibly back-stab his own daughter for what he thought was best for her — again — he gives them his blessing. | |

Comedic Sociopathy: The opening montage is quite sweet and funny. But during the parody of From Here to Eternity, Shrek unintentionally ends up frolicking with a lookalike of Ariel. Fiona's response is to throw Ariel back into the sea, where she is devoured by sharks. Neither ogre shows much concern about this; Shrek just shows remorse at the act of Accidental Adultery. Immediately following that scene, the newlyweds enjoy a mud bath... illuminated by the glow of several fairies trapped in jars. To add insult to injury, Shrek and Fiona playfully begin farting, much to the discomfort of the contained fairies. | |

Crazy-Prepared: The defenders of Far Far Away's castle walls have a large supply of milk they can use to dump on invaders rather than the usual boiling oil. You'd think they were actually expecting to fight a gigantic gingerbread man, because that system doesn't really have much use otherwise. Justified that they live in a world where All Myths Are True and is a Fairy Tale Free-for-All, so it pays to have contingencies for anything. | |

Not What It Looks Like: Or rather, not what it sounds like. Shrek is reading Fiona's childhood diary (while she sleeps) when Harold knocks on their door and startles him, causing him to cry out. This leads Harold to believe that he's intruded on an intimate moment between the couple (the fact that Shrek is clad only in a pair of boxer shorts doesn't exactly help matters any). | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Shrek 2 / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Shrek's desire to make Fiona happy drives him to a point where he is willing to let her go to be with Prince Charming. It also drives him to take a potion so that he and Fiona can live out their Happily Ever After in more widely accepted human forms, rather than the ogre forms hated by most of society, even though he very much prefers being an ogre. In a parental instance, King Harold at first strongly opposes the marriage of Shrek and Fiona, and is under duress from the Fairy Godmother to fulfill his end of a deal wherein Charming and Fiona are wed. However, when he sees Fiona's love for Shrek and the loathing of Charming, he goes back on the deal despite the danger to himself. Lillian acts in a similar vein. Despite her initial shock at seeing her daughter's new form and her daughter's husband, she tries to accept the situation after seeing how happy Fiona is with Shrek. A mutual example comes during the climax. When midnight comes and the Happily Ever After potion is about to wear off, turning Shrek and Fiona back into ogres, Fiona turns down the kiss that would make it permanent. Shrek was willing to give up his proud ogrehood so his wife could be happy as a human; she in turn was unwilling to let Shrek make that sacrifice at the possible cost of his own happiness. | |

Shrek expresses his concern about how Fiona’s parents would react to seeing the latter’s Ogre form. He is proven right when Harold isn’t happy with seeing Fiona as an Ogre. Even Fiona comes to agree with Shrek’s viewpoint when she packs her things to go back to Shrek’s swamp (this happens after another argument that Shrek and Fiona have about this topic). | |

Villain Has a Point: Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming may be trying to break Shrek and Fiona up for their own gain, but they do pose a fair question; wouldn't Fiona be better off living as a princess in a castle, rather than an ogre in a swamp? This weighs heavily on Shrek and convinces him to try to make both of them human with the Happily Ever After potion, and give up his relationship with her so she can have a better life with Prince Charming.

Politically Incorrect Villain | |
| Shrek 2 / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: The Fairy Godmother comes across more than a little racist, and that's just her reaction to ogres. She also refers to the Big Bad Wolf as "gender-confused", which could come across as a pretty horrendous insult to cross-dressers or drag queens, not to mention any transgender individuals. | |

Police Brutality: When Shrek, Donkey and Puss are arrested by the knights, all three receive different forms of restraints from them. Shrek gets peppered in his eyes by a knight with a pepper shaker, Donkey receives the most knights going after him, prompting him to shout "Police brutality!", and Puss gets pitted against the wall before the knights uncover some catnip from his small satchel. | |

Cultural Translation | |

Cultural Translation: In the original version, the receptionist in Fairy Godmother's factory complains that the workers there don't even get dental. In Denmark (and most other European countries), hardly any workplaces have health plans as a benefit (probably because healthcare is government-paid through taxes, though dental treatment does have a rather significant user charge), so in the Danish dub he instead complains that he doesn't have a company car. | |

Small Role, Big Impact: The Magic Mirror has this role twice in this film. He's the one who originally told Lord Farquaad about Fiona, which led to Shrek and Donkey being sent to retrieve her, thus meaning Prince Charming didn't get the chance to rescue her and the Fairy Godmother's initial plan was ruined. Then, when Gingy, Pinocchio and the rest of the gang are watching the Magic Mirror on the night of the Far, Far Away Ball, they happen to spot Shrek, Donkey and Puss being arrested, and instantly set off to help them. | |

His arms get soggy and break off, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards into the moat. Being a giant cookie, he is too soggy to move at all anymore and is permanently defeated. | |

Parental Bonus: Many. "...that bush that's shaped like Shirley Bassey." Panicked citizens run right out of one Farbucks... and into another Farbucks directly across the street. How Shrek convinces the Fairy Godmother's doorman to let him, Puss, and Donkey into the factory is by telling him they're from the union. When selecting the ingredients for the love potion, the Fairy Godmother adds "just a pinch" of Lust from a massive bottle. The fact that she literally uses the word "lust" is pretty boundary-pushing on its own, but she pours it out of a bleach-shaped bottle. In other words, it's basically suggesting that anyone who takes the love potion is drinking bleach. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Shrek 2 / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: The Fairy Godmother brings Harold for a flying coach ride to discuss how unhappy she is about Fiona not being with her son Prince Charming. When Harold accuses Charming of not being fast enough, she demands that they stop the car and tells the king he's pushed her to do something she really doesn't want to do. At first, you wonder if she's going to have Harold killed... only to see they've pulled into the drive-thru for Friar's Fat Boy. The Fairy Godmother threatening King Harold by talking about how she made his "Happily Ever After" possible is staged to imply that she gave him a Love Potion, which he then used on Queen Lillian. What she actually did was turn him from a frog into a human. When Harold brings two cups of tea, one of which is spiked with the Love Potion, he frantically stops her from drinking one of them. Charming later kisses Fiona, and it seems that all hope is lost as the potion takes effect. Fiona tenderly reaches for Charming's face, then headbutts him unconscious, revealing that the cup Harold stopped her from taking was the one with the potion in it. When Shrek, Puss, and Donkey travel to the Fairy Godmother's place, they're walking through picturesque woods and come to a stop in front of a small quaint fairy-tale cottage in the woods. Then the camera pulls back to reveal that the cottage (and the woods) are placed directly in front of a gigantic industrial factory complex, complete with belching smokestacks. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Shrek 2 / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Fiona is now fully comfortable with her new appearance, and believes that her parents will be perfectly accepting of both her and her new husband. Shrek is dubious, and he's proven absolutely right when the people of Far Far Away react with shock, horror and disgust as the pair step out of their carriage at journey's end. When Harold makes his deal with Fairy Godmother, he fails to consider that Fiona might not actually want to be with Prince Charming, and that he would love his child too much to force her to wed against her will. He even laughs at how absurd it was for him to think he could force someone to fall in love. When Fairy Godmother realizes that Shrek's taken the Happily Ever After potion, she and Prince Charming deceive Fiona into thinking Charming is the human Shrek, believing Fiona will easily accept him as her transformed husband. Except Charming does a terrible job of pretending to be Shrek. While Fiona doesn't find out about the deception until the climax, she's completely put off by his arrogance and showboating, rightly pointing out 'that's not the man I fell in love with'. The villains have to fall back on slipping her a love potion to try and salvage the situation. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |

Rewatch Bonus: The viewer is unlikely to pay attention to which cup of tea Harold pours the love potion into the first time around, and which cup Fiona later takes. Those who did know right there that she never drank the potion. All sorts of references to fairy tale characters can be seen in various parts of the film, from background characters to allusive shop names. Upon the reveal that Harold is the Frog Prince, both of Fiona's parents' reactions to their daughter's transformation make a lot more sense. Of course Harold believes his daughter would be happiest if she was transformed into a human and married to a beautiful royal - that's what he did. Lillian, meanwhile, is quickly accepting of her daughter having fallen in love with a traditionally ugly creature - after all, it's implied she fell in love with Harold while he was a frog. | |

Bowdlerisation | |
| Shrek 2 / int_98a72851 | comment |
Bowdlerisation: Harold's remark about a "crusade wound" is dubbed over as "hunting wound" in some international releases and television airings. The film's UK release edits out the split-second shot where Fiona headbutts Charming, making it ambiguous how she knocked him unconscious. When Fairy Godmother rants at Harold over Fiona marrying Shrek, she says "Some gender-confused" wolf told Prince Charming about her marriage. In the modern cuts, the word "gender" was cut from the sentence so she says "Some confused wolf" instead. This most likely was corrected to avoid offending the LGBTQ+ community. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Shrek 2 / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the beginning of the film, Donkey mentions that Dragon has been "acting kind of moody lately". The Stinger implies that this is because she was pregnant or feeling violently protective of her eggs. Many scenes set up the end reveal of King Harold's true form as a frog: It's mentioned that King Harold's first date with Queen Lillian was a peaceful walk by the lily pond, a place frogs are fond of hanging out at. Harold also swoons over "their first kiss" with the implication that this kiss is the one that turned him human. King Harold's bedroom mostly has green colors, from the bedsheets to the tapestry depicting himself watching the lily pond. And at the Poison Apple, a female frog asks if they know each other. The Fairy Godmother threatens Harold by talking about how she "made his Happily Ever After" possible. Harold later mentions to Fiona that "people change for the ones they love," and that she'd be surprised "just how much [he'd] changed for [Queen Lillian]." Of course, he means quite literally changing, from a frog into a human. Queen Lillian's name. It can be shortened to "Lily" and Harold loves her dearly. Lilies are often connected with ponds. Where the couple had their first date and frogs. The mysterious assassin that Harold hires is shown in shadow during their meeting. All that's visible is his boots, his sword, and his eyes. Say, what kind of creature has eyes that glow in the dark? In the first film, when Fiona is surprised to see that Shrek is an ogre, he asks her if she was expecting Prince Charming, to which she replies with a Blunt "Yes". As this movie reveals, this wasn't a mere reference to a fairy tale Prince Charming is, like other fairy tales, very real, and actually was supposed to come to Fiona's rescue. Midway through the film, Shrek, Donkey and Puss encounter the Fairy Godmother in the middle of creating what appears to be a Love Potion. On top of that, she's doing this with a maniacal demeanour. Sure enough, she not only reveals her villainous ways the next scene, but later scenes reveal her real plan to have Fiona drink the potion in order to have her fall in love with Charming. | |

Later on, when he sees how much Fiona loathes Charming and has no interest in being with anyone else but Shrek, especially after he attempts to give her the Love Potion that the Fairy Godmother threatened him into giving her, deciding last moment to go back on his word to the Fairy Godmother. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Shrek 2 / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Shrek isn't the "hero" the Fairy Godmother's song is about, but still fulfils it anyway. In fact, given her decidedly unheroic intentions, the choice of song itself can only be seen as deeply cynical. As the Happily Ever After potion takes effect on Shrek, elsewhere, Fiona announces her ultimate decision to her parents. She tells them that she's going to do "what's best" by looking for her husband and returning to their swamp together. If anything, this shows that contrary to Shrek's fears, his wife was going to side with him all along. Likewise, Fiona doesn't know her husband has already taken the steps to better himself like she wanted. | |

Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo | |
| Shrek 2 / int_b18aeb20 | comment |
Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo: In the original DVD menu, Donkey asks why the movie is just named Shrek 2, and starts coming up with alternative Donkey-related subtitles, like "Day of the Donkey", "Donkey's Revenge", "A Donkey Will Rise", "2 Fast 2 Donkey" and "Donkey Reloaded". This soon gets on everyone else's nerves. | |

Retcon | |
| Shrek 2 / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: In the original film, Fiona was apparently waiting for any random knight who would be able to slay Dragon and rescue her, whereas in this film we learn King Harold and the Fairy Godmother made a deal that it would specifically be Prince Charming who would rescue and marry Fiona. (You can argue that there's some Foreshadowing when Shrek snarks whether Fiona was expecting 'Prince Charming' and Fiona replies with a Blunt "Yes", but at the same time she doesn't have any objection — at first — to marrying Lord Farquaad and never brings up that actually she was anticipating being rescued by the real Charming.) | |

| Shrek 2 / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: While Harold at the beginning of the movie is willing to stoop really low, even hiring an assassin to kill Shrek, he is completely horrified with the idea of giving Fiona what he rightfully views as a date rape drug and letting Prince Charming have his way with his daughter against her will. This is what cements his Heel–Face Turn. | |

| Shrek 2 / int_b579ecc6 | comment |
Gave Up Too Soon: Shrek and Donkey each taste-test the Happily Ever Potion (with Shrek sneezing some of it on a mushroom in the process) in the hopes of granting the former a happy ending with Fiona, only for nothing to seemingly happen. After dismissing the potion as a dud, the trio walk off... unaware that the mushroom Shrek sneezed on has become a beautiful rose. | |

Stock Audio Clip: There are some notable audio bytes that are recycled from the first movie. The Big Bad Wolf saying "What" is recycled, since according to the audio commentary his voice actor couldn't replicate the same line reading from the original recording. Donkey's "Wow!" when the group goes into Far Far Away is reused from his reaction to the Duloc dolls. Shrek roaring at Fiona's dog is recycled from when he roared at Donkey. In Far Far Away Idol, Gingy's "Ah, whizzes on you guys!" is reused from the film, when he and his friends are at Shrek's house watching on the Magic Mirror. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Shrek 2 / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Numerous, as expected of a Shrek movie: When arriving in Far Far Away, Donkey says, "Swimming pools, movie stars!" a reference to the opening theme of The Beverly Hillbillies. While attacking Shrek, Puss tears out of his vest in a move reminiscent of the chest-burster from Alien. To Garfield when Puss mutters into his milk "I hate Mondays." During Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon, they receive a ring with text that glows after it is heated. In furtherance, we get a close-up shot of the ring flying through the air and landing on Fiona's finger. Later that day, when Fiona removes something covering Shrek's mouth to kiss him while he is hanging from a tree, one is reminded of a similar kiss a certain wall-crawling character had with his lover. When Shrek is fleeing on Donkey into the forest in a segment of K.N.I.G.H.T.S, there is a hot air balloon shot of the sequence and a knight is heard saying "We've got a white bronco headed east into the forest. Requesting backup." The montage's camerawork and overall appearance resemble the appearance of COPS. When Shrek and Fiona are kissing on the beach, a wave washes over them and swaps Fiona with a red-headed mermaid. Fiona promptly tosses her way out to sea, where she is eaten by sharks. Keeling over from the Happily Ever After potion, Donkey calls out "I'm comin', Elizabeth!" Considering how ruthless, manipulative, and charismatic she is, Fairy Godmother seems like more of a Fairy... Godmother. The Muffin Man's house, where the giant monstrous Mongo cookie is created, is shown during a thunderstorm with a windmill behind it, evocative of the scenery in Frankenstein. As Mongo perishes, defeated by the knights of Far Far Away, he tells Gingy to "be good". The same final words are spoken in Deep Impact when one of the astronauts sent to destroy a comet inbound for Earth says his goodbyes to his family. He also lets out a very familiar roar of rage when the defenders hit him in the gumdrop buttons. When Shrek, Donkey, and Puss are hastily escaping the potion room, Puss reaches underneath the closing door to retrieve his hat. A multitude of shout-outs to different songs, just like in the first film. | |

True Love is Exceptional: As her diary revealed, Fiona had dreamed her whole childhood of being rescued by a handsome prince and becoming "Mrs. Fiona Charming". However, she ended up falling in love with Shrek, an ogre who was a far cry from this. When she is placed with the supposed man of her dreams, Prince Charming, she does not fall in love with Charming and wants to be with Shrek again. Fiona had completely discarded her childhood fantasies and had no issue with doing so, finding everything she wants in Shrek. Harold pulls a Heel–Face Turn when he realizes this, accepting Shrek into the family and attempting to go back on his promise with Fairy Godmother. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Donkey delivers a hilarious but minor one to Shrek after the latter roars at Fiona's dog and tells Fiona that whether her parents like it or not, he is an ogre and that won't change. Lillian gives a slight one to Harold after the dinner disaster, pointing out that he started the whole argument when his prejudice towards Shrek. When Fiona fainted due to the effects of the Happily Ever After potion, Lillian gave Harold a silent glare, presumably thinking Fiona fainted from the stress of the pressure Harold imposed upon her. Fiona gave another one to Harold after Charming impersonated Shrek, thinking his prejudice made Shrek feel forced to change. Lillian even questions him about it. | |

Dating What Daddy Hates | |
| Shrek 2 / int_de89c0a1 | comment |
Dating What Daddy Hates: A variation. This is more like "Married to What Daddy Hates", as it's clear at first that King Harold disapproves of having Shrek as a son-in-law. He warms up to the idea by the end when he sees that Fiona is unhappy without Shrek. Since he just wants her to be happy, he accepts Shrek and refuses to go along with the Fairy Godmother's plan to wed Fiona to Charming. | |

The day after, when Harold brings up how it's probably in Shrek's nature to act like a brute, Fiona rightfully calls Harold out on how his behavior wasn't that great either. | |

Undying Loyalty: Puss swears this to Shrek in gratitude for sparing his life after the failed assassination attempt. Donkey shows this to Shrek (even if partially to outshine Puss due to his jealousy) by trying the Happily Ever After potion before Shrek in case it's dangerous. Shrek and Fiona also prove to have this between each other as both are willing to go to the ends of the earth for each other. In the ensuing turmoil that comes when Fiona's parents object to Shrek, Fiona choses to take his side over her parents, even willing to completely cut them out of her life, much to their horror. | |
