A. Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots are arrested, but they are rescued by Gingerbread Man, Pinnochio and company. They finally decide to crash the ball held by Fairy Godmother, where Fiona will kiss Charming. Shrek and company go to the Muffin Man who cooks them up a Gingerbread Man the size of Godzilla which helps them infiltrate the castle walls.

B. They get a letter from Fiona’s parents…the King and Queen of Far Far Away! Shreck, who thinks that when Fiona’s parents see him and her as ogres they will be astonished, decides he does not want to go. But then Shrek finally succumbs to Fiona’s desires to see her parents. Donkey comes along too!

C. King Harold decides to get rid of Shrek and hired Puss in Boots. After a “cat fight” with Shrek in the woods, Puss in Boots joins their side. Meanwhile Fiona’s Fairy Goodmother wants her son, Prince Charming, to marry Fiona, not Shrek! Shrek finds an old diary in Fiona’s room and decides he wants to be in human form. D. The movie starts out with a “perfect” man name Prince Charming. He finds out that Fiona had already been rescued from the tower, and he is upset. Shrek and Fiona, who are now married!, are in their honeymoon enjoying themselves. They come back home and they find Donkey anxiously awaiting their arrival. Donkey tells them that the relationship between him and the Dragon didn’t roll over too well. Shreck kicks him out. E. Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots break into Fairy Godmother’s Factory and steal a potion called “Happily Ever After”. This potion turns Shrek into a handsome man, Fiona back into a human princess and Donkey into a stallion. F. We finally know that Fairy Godmother is the villain of the story. Sje makes her son, Charming, switch places with Shreck and makes Fiona think that he is Shrek in human form. She gives the king a potion to give to Fiona, which will make her love the first man she kisses. G. They spend days travelling to Far Far Away because….. it is far far away. You find that Far Far Away is like a Medieval Hollywood, with Hollywood sign parody too of Far Far Away. As suspected everyone ia very surprised at Shrek and Fiona’s entrance. King Harold and Shrek end up in a big fight during dinner while Qeen Lilian is trying to be a bit nicer.
