Went to see Shrek 2 and had tears in my eyes with laughter in several places. I think I need to watch this several times more, ideally with company, to get all the references.
Definite improvements in the production, making the characters more realistic which led to some very wrong connotations, like when Puss licks his crotch as cats do but here it's just wrong...

It's not just a kids' film, there are several levels of humour to it which makes it a lot of fun. I'm definitely getting this on DVD when it comes out.

A very short but very cool bit was the Tom Waits song when the king enters the inn.

If you haven't seen it, don't leave when the credits start, there's a short but wonderful bit in between. Nothing at the very end, though.

Interestingly, the Ugly Stepsister is spoken by Larry King in the US version and by Jonathan Ross in the UK version.

Didn't know they changed the voiceover for the ugly stepsister, nice touch for locality :)

The bit in the credits looked odd, tagged on. I checked imdb.com when I was home and saw that.

The whole film rocked, and that song is on the soundtrack, fab soundtrack too. BTW I need to get me a Puss In Boots!
