Shrek 2 is the
2004 sequel to the
computer-animated 2001 DreamWorks Pictures movie Shrek that was released in the
United States on
May 19,
2004. In
April 2004, the film was selected for competition at the
2004 Cannes Film Festival. There are more Shrek movies to follow, as according to
Jeffrey Katzenberg, "We didn't have the guts to tell anybody when we started out, [but] we have two more chapters to tell. Not unlike
Peter Jackson did with
The Lord of the Rings. The difference is they did have the guts to make all three of them 'back-to-back-to-back.'" Shrek 2 is also the one of the first 3 feature length movies to get the
Game Boy Advance Video treatment.
