After ogre couple Shrek and Fiona lumbered off into the sunset back in 2001, there were still a good number of fairytale targets left to aim for.

That the biggest of those targets - - everyone always lives Happily Ever After - - forms the basis for Shrek 2 was an immediate signal that we wouldn't necessarily be fobbed off with an inferior re-run featuring a bunch of ready-to-render characters going through the motions while their voice-actors sprint for their paycheques.
