My kids got a read-along Shrek 2 CD-ROM when they went to see Sinbad, and we just got around to watching the whole thing this morning. Does anybody know if the story told on the CD-ROM is the actual plot of Shrek 2?

Here's the plotline from IMDB. Sound the same?

On a side note, how can Farquaad return? He's one of two characters that died in the film...the other being:



Shrek is my daughter's favorite movie, and the sequel will probably be her first visit to the theater.

Groucho --

On the CD-ROM, it's ... so that is probably going to be the approach.

The description you found in no way matches what was on the CD-ROM. In that one...



The CD is narrated by John Cleese, and is actually pretty good. I'm glad the movie does not have the same plot -- kind of lame, to be honest, with some horrid dialogue -- but my kids enjoyed an extra "chapter" in the Shrek story.

BTW, Groucho, do you want the CD? Or at least the run-time EXE off of the CD? Let me know. It was free, so I don't think there would be piracy issues... and heck, worse comes to worst I can just mail one of the extra copies my kids got. (We saw Sinbad twice in the theater, so we have 4 CD-ROMs...)

... NCMojo... could I have one? I'll foot for the shipping... let me know by emailing me...

I couldn't bring myself to take the kids to Sinbad, but I know they would enjoy this.

There was a giant box full of them in the lobby of my local theater. While standing in line to get my ticket ripped, I just grabbed one out of curiosity. Then again, the theater is horrible when it comes to giving away things with movie tickets. They almost didn't give me my supercool Spy Kids 3D glasses!

Groucho

Yeah, that CD-rom does sound fun. Even the EXE is probably sufficient.

NCMojo

No, you need the source files, which is, like, over 400 megs. Anyone want to volunteer an FTP?

Hi NCMojo:

I am currently working as an animator on SHREK 2 at Dreamworks.

The SHREK tale that's on the CD-ROM tells the events that happen between SHREK 1 and SHREK 2. Incidentally, you can see these events in animated form if you go see the new SHREK 4-D, a new motion-3-D ride at Universal Studios.

But again, the CD-ROM isn't really SHREK 2, but really is a tale to bridge the gap between the original SHREK and SHREK 2, which opens next year.

Got any of 'em left Justin00787? With my movie going experiences as limited as it are, there was NO WAY I was gonna sit through Sinbad...

Please lemme know.

I liked but didn't love Shrek -- too gimmicky, too smirky, too self-consciously "hip" and "self-aware", and even 2 years later has become seriously dated.

I wonder what they're going to do when the run out of anti-Disney-zingers and Popular-Movie-gags.
