Shrek and
Fiona's (
Mike Myers and
Cameron Diaz, respectively) fairy-tale wedding has gone off without a hitch, yet just as the beaming newlyweds prepare to enjoy their blissful "happily ever after," the sudden death of
King Harold (
John Cleese) finds everyone's favorite ornery ogre being reluctantly fitted for the royal crown. Troubled to learn that not only will he be compelled to rule Far Far Away, but that he and
Fiona are also expecting a little ogre,
Shrek determines to track down his new bride's rebellious cousin,
Artie (
Justin Timberlake) -- the one true heir to the throne -- in order to focus on fatherhood without the added distraction of having to preside over the kingdom. As
Shrek sets out with faithful companions
Donkey (
Eddie Murphy) and
Puss in Boots (
Antonio Banderas) to locate the medieval high-school slacker and bring him back to become the reigning sovereign of Far Far Away, handsome snake
Prince Charming (
Rupert Everett) slithers back to the castle in the company of the dreaded
Captain Hook (
Ian McShane) to stage a diabolically timed coup and assume control of the throne. Now, as
Shrek,
Donkey, and
Puss in Boots do their best to wrangle up the feisty
Artie,
Fiona must enlist the aid of fighting princesses
Snow White (
Amy Poehler),
Sleeping Beauty (
Cheri Oteri),
Rapunzel (
Maya Rudolph), and
Cinderella (
Amy Sedaris) to barricade the castle and fend off
Prince Charming's invading army of fairy-tale villains until her beloved husband can return with the cavalry to save the day.
