A couple pieces of notable news regarding two "high-ly an-tici-pated, never over-stimu-lated, sure-to-be re-fridg-erated" animated films from Dreamworks Pictures to pass along today. Sorry about that little rhyming rant by the way, Don King was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and I obviously got carried away. What two film am I referring to you might ask? Why, SHARKSLAYER and SHREK 2, of course. Read on...

In a recent conversation with Animated Movies, Jeffery Katzenberg summed up the storyline for the follow-up to the mega-grossing original, and I'll be damned if it isn't every bit as clever as the first: "SHREK 2 is about coming to terms with the fact that everything that happened in the first Shrek was a gigantic mistake. Shrek was not meant to rescue Fiona. Her true love was meant to be Prince Charming. There was a whole plan of what was going to happen to Fiona, her future and her kingdom, and Shrek has made a fine mess of all of it. It begins with an invitation from Fiona's mom and dad, who, you recall, locked her away in a castle to await Prince Charming's kiss".

A sharp looking little teaser site has gone up for Dreamworks' November 2004 animated underwater mob story. There isn't much to it, but what can you expect a year and a half before the film is scheduled to be in theatres? What it does do however, is give us the opportunity to see what Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, Martin Scorsese, Peter Falk, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Pastori, Kevin Pollack, Doug E. Doug and Ziggy Marley would look like if they were various forms of sea life as opposed to filthy rich humans.
