Film: Shrek 2 (2004)
Showing: Christmas Eve, 5.45pm, BBC1
Why It’s A Must-See: This one’s all about the glorious voice cast, with Mike Myers starring as the titular bogey-hued ogre, and a show-stealing turn from Eddie Murphy as his jive-talking chum Donkey.
Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews and John Cleese all bring something valuable to the party, ensuring the franchise totally justified this rollocking sequel before soiling itself with a third instalment in 2007.
Don’t Get Up For A Mince Pie...when Shrek’s buddies send their sublimely silly colossus - Mongo the gingerbread man - to storm the royal ball and prevent a double-crossing princess snog.
Next: Corpse Bride

And there I was thinking Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adaptation of a book by this guy called Roald Dahl.
