Somewhere in the making of Shrek, Jeffery Katzenberg had a feeling he had a hit on his hands. And with his fledging DreamWorks Animation still fighting to stay in the ring with Disney and Pixar, little time was lost before work on a sequel began.

Producer Aron Warner did not share Katzenberg’s unreserved enthusiasm for a sequel to Shrek’s perfect fairytale ending. The first film was a once-in-a-generation classic that transcended age, race and nationality, winning over critics, audiences and families around the world.

Could SHREK 2 really do all that again?
