In 2001, soon after the original Shrek proved to be a hit, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz negotiated an upfront payment of $10 million each for voicing a sequel to the film. This pay increase represented a significant rise from the $350,000 salary that each of the three were paid for the first film. According to Jeffrey Katzenberg, the executive producer of Shrek 2 and a co-founder of DreamWorks, who led the negotiations, the payments were probably the highest in the actors' entire careers. Each of the actors were expected to work between 15 and 18 hours in total. The film was produced with a $70 million budget.

About the Book
The animated film "Shrek 2" is loosely based on the children's book Shrek! by William Steig. The book was first published in 1990 and tells the story of a green ogre named Shrek who embarks on a journey to find his place in the world.About the Author
William Steig was an American cartoonist, sculptor, and, in his later years, an author of children's books. He was known for his unique style and wit, which he brought to his storytelling. Steig's work has been celebrated for its creativity and humor, making him a beloved figure in children's literature.Adaptation and Faithfulness
While the film "Shrek 2" draws inspiration from Shrek!, it significantly expands upon the original story. The book itself is quite short and focuses on Shrek's journey and encounters with various characters. The film, however, introduces new characters, plotlines, and settings that are not present in the book. As a result, "Shrek 2" can be seen as a creative extension of Steig's original work, rather than a direct adaptation.Key Differences
- The book is a simple tale with a straightforward plot, while the film includes complex storylines and character development.
- New characters and settings in the film are not found in the book, showcasing the filmmakers' creative liberties.
- The humor and themes in the film are adapted to appeal to a broader audience, including adults, whereas the book is primarily targeted at children.

In my opinion, this part is slightly better than the first. Everything is at the same level as in the first one, but brighter and more spectacular.
In my opinion, the second part is even more interesting than the first, but I can’t say which is better. The first set the right tone, the second became more adventurous. In general, I love both equally. But I would delay the transformation of Shrek into a man for a threequel or quadriquel, because it’s too exciting.
2025. A successful sequel, more energetic and funnier than the original. A meme-worthy cat (who later got his own cartoons) appears, along with a Basque-style prince and Fiona’s unexpectedly evil godmother. Shrek, in human form, turns out to be Gigachad, and Donkey, in the form of a white stallion, is even funnier.
The second cartoon has been a favorite for a very long time. The story continues where the original left off. Donkey is great. Although the cat is in the background, you can feel the charisma in this ball of fur. Happy endings are rare in life, but if you are ready to do your best, then everything is in your hands. Like
Any picture is considered iconic if it amazes with such a huge number of memes and legends. There are more than minutes of humor in this cartoon. Revised 100500 times. The cat’s gaze is a separate conversation
A logical continuation that perfectly complemented the first part, which means it had to be! More spectacular, colorful, parody and the duo is joined by Puss in Boots, which means three amigos are in action! And it is in this part that N. Baskov puts on a cardboard crown from McDonald’s
It turns out that ogres’ family life resembles the simplest life of an average family, with its own problems. Shrek goes to meet his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
The first part was a breath of fresh air in the industry – in the second, the creators focused on scale: more budget, more gags, more famous songs. Sometimes with obvious excess (especially this concerns pop-culture references), but still very funny. Also, the Cat appeared here.
