Shrek the Third (2007)

Netflix Synopsis: Life in the swamp seems better than ever for Shrek and Fiona (voiced by Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz), until King Harold suddenly falls ill and the adorable ogre must find an acceptable heir or he’ll have to assume the throne. Joined by his faithful companions Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas), Shrek tracks down Cousin Artie the future king as Fiona and Queen Lillian defend the kingdom from the insidious Prince Charming.

Review: I really liked this movie, even though it was more serious than the past ones. If you are looking for non-stop laughs you will be disappointed like many of the online reviewers. But if you are looking for a serious coming of age family story, with some of the funny edges of the fairy tale world, and very cute baby Dronkeys (Coco, Debbie, Peanut, Parfait, and Bananas) and baby monsters, it is wonderful. Snow White is so cool, and Prince Charming, for all his evilness (and jokes about his hair), is still very charming looking (Yes, my 24 year old fangirldom is showing) ..I felt sorry for him, really.
