Shrek 2

We took the kids to see Shrek 2 this afternoon (OK, I wanted to see it as well), and it was £6 well-spent. It’s incredible to look at - City Screen in York has a THX auditorium which is equipped with 70mm; not that they were showing Shrek in 70mm, but the fact that they’ve got that sort of kit around means that they seem to know what they’re doing and keep the print clean. So you get the full effect of the rendered fur.

I’m not really sure it’s aimed entirely at kids - there’s so many in-jokes and innuendos and piss-takes that you’re going to miss half the enjoyment if you’re under 18, but the offspring enjoyed it nonetheless. And I’m convinced it was Jonathan Ross providing the voice for the Ugly Sister, but it was Larry King that showed up in the credits. What was all that about?
