Since we had watched both Shrek and Shrek 2, it was very obvious that we would end up in a theater to watch Shrek the Third. Like other animation movies, Shrek 3 is a fun movie to watch with your family. It is also pretty obvious from the plot that all the fans will now await the arrival of next in series.This is how the plot develops. Shrek is destined to be the king of Far Far Away but that is not what he wants. He wants to go where he thinks he belongs: the swamp. When King Harold had died he had also mentioned the name of Arthur Pendragon, the nephew. No surprise then that Shrek sets out to find him so that he can take over as the new ruler. In the meantime, Prince Charming sees a window of opportunity to take over the kingdom.
When Shrek and Arthur arrive in Far Far Away, they realize that the kingdom is in chaos, the royal family is in prison, and Prince Charming wants to kill them all. In the end the movie, of course, ends on a happy note, particularly, with Fiona and Shrek becoming parents and returning to their swamp.
Here is also a video clip of Cameron Diaz (voice of Fiona) and Antonio Banderas (as the naughty cat Puss in Boots) discussing their roles in the movie.
