Shrek 2 - Looking forward
Loved the first! One of my all time favourites!!
--------------------------
Release Date: June 18th, 2004
Distributor: DreamWorks Pictures
Production Company: Pacific Data Images (Shrek, Antz; they're also working on Tusker and Madagascar)
Cast: (voices) Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona), Julie Andrews (Fiona's Mother, the Queen), John Cleese (Fiona's Father, the King); other cast not announced yet.
Based Upon: This is the sequel to the $250+ million hit film (possibly the #1 film of 2001), Shrek, itself based upon the children's book by William Steig.
Filming: CGI animation production is expected to start in the fall of 2001. Much of the work with CGI features is the design of the characters, so the turnaround time for this sequel (and any future sequels) is much shorter (Shrek took nearly five years to complete), since the programs for the lead characters are already mostly complete.
