Shrek 3 plot synopsis**Spoilers**

Stu G · 07-05-2005, 07:54

Taken from superherohype...

When 'Shrek 3' opens, Shrek and Fiona are having to take on the duties of being the active king and queen of Far, Far Away. When we left him, the King was quite literally croaking. They're not very comfortable in these roles, so the King says to them, "If you can find the heir to the throne and bring him back, the Kingdom will be in good hands, then you can return to the swamp and live your lives." Which is what they want to do. Shrek, Donkey and Puss go to the far side of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away where young "Artie", who is the nephew of Queen Lilian, is about to graduate school. Artie turns out to be young King Arthur and Shrek and Donkey and Puss have to convince this extremely rebellious young man, who's being voiced by Justin Timberlake, to come back and assume the throne. Along the way, Shrek invents the Round Table and Donkey is the Lady in the Lake with the sword. Meanwhile, back at the Kingdom of Far, Far Away, Prince Charming decides that it's time for a coup d'etat. "The cat's away. He will play" So Fiona organizes all of the princesses into the underground Resistance movement, who are trying to hold things together until Shrek, Donkey, Puss and young King Arthur return.

Not too sure about Timberlake doing a voice, and the Fiona story feels a littel tagged on at this point. But for a start its sounds OK and at least they haven't gone down the baby route which is what I feared. Roll on 2007!

they are saving that for Shrek 4

Mr Majestik · 07-05-2005, 11:07

I'd have put money on the baby plot too.

With Shrek 3 and 4 and a Puss in boots movie in the works Dreamworks are sure ringing this franchise dry.

Despite this thread being 19 months old, it's apparently more valid than the one Drpepper started today

Just as long as it actually has a story this time & not just a long string of soon-to-be-out-of-date pop culture gags.

& no Simon frickin' Cowell!

Haha Pinocchio owns.

mattwakeman · 14-12-2006, 15:11

Pinocchio, the spiritual successor to Sir Humphrey.

Hey someone reported it I didn't check the date so don't blame me.

Goblin · 14-12-2006, 21:12

Justin Timberlake is voicing King Arthur?

aprout · 15-12-2006, 12:13

tiger33 · 15-12-2006, 13:13

pretty long teaser...

more like a full trailer

but im not that impressed with it though

animation doesnt seem to have improved (even though original animation was good u still expect some improvement)

story seems... odd but..

it could still turn out good

Kryten · 08-01-2007, 08:55

New HD encodes of the trailer at Dave's Trailer Page

I'd rather not have any change to be honest because then it makes the characters feel different.

Gedalia · 08-01-2007, 12:56

Isnt there a baby at the end of the trailer that spues green vomit? Is that not baby shrek? Or was that the closing scene of Shrek 3 to make Shrek 4 about the baby?

The animation seems subtly better. They have kept the look of the previous 2 movies but have added depth and detail. The characters look a lot more detailed now I think. Look at Prince Charming in the trailer.

It looks like Dreamworks have made an advance in animation. The detail on Pinocchio and hair on the pigs looks fantastic.

boonspoon · 13-01-2007, 18:16

Bet it was a good idea to include Timberlake in the movie at the time.......

Kryten · 09-02-2007, 14:00

Another new trailer over on Dave's Trailer Page. Looks quite funny still

Goblin · 13-05-2007, 18:47

anyone else find the trailer unfunny? They advertised this and some new animation about penguins and there wasn't one joke between them.

surely it's not a good sign.

Mr Majestik · 13-05-2007, 19:21

The films getting some really bad reviews in America.

The ones i've seen are along the lines of this... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/....jsp?&rid=9165
