  • Shrek 2 20th Anniversary Theatrical Rerelease Date Set

    Shrek 2 20th Anniversary Theatrical Rerelease Date Set

    To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Shrek 2, Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation announced the animated classic’s return to theaters. It starts April 12, 2024. 

    Tickets for Shrek 2’s re-release will be available for purchase on March 8 on Fandango and other ticketing sites nationwide. AMC Theaters also announced that they will be screening the animated film for a limited time for only $5.00. 

    Revisiting Far, Far Away 

    Shrek 2 — which debuted in theaters in May 2004 — has become one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, grossing more than $900 million in its opening weekend worldwide. Apart from its impressive box office numbers, the animated film — directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, and Conrad Vernon — has cemented its place not only in animation history but also in pop culture at large, with a positive critical reception even after two decades since its initial release. 

    Shrek 2 is a follow-up to the success of the first installment and has continued to expand the franchise with more sequels and spin-offs. This includes Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After, Puss in Boots, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The fifth Shrek movie was also announced last year, though details about it remain close to the vest. 

    Shrek 2 follows newlyweds Fiona and Shrek as they embark on a journey to meet the former’s parents at Far Far Away. However, everyone seems to be unhappy about their marriage, especially Fiona’s father.

    The synopsis for Shrek 2 reads: “Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey set off to Far, Far Away to meet Fiona’s mother and father. But not everyone is happy. Shrek and the King find it hard to get along, and there’s tension in the marriage. The fairy godmother discovers that Shrek has married Fiona instead of her son Prince Charming and sets about destroying their marriage.“

    The animated film also boasts an ensemble voice cast, which includes Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, John Cleese as King Harold, Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian, Rupert Everett as Prince Charming, and Jennifer Saunders as Fairy Godmother.

  • ‘Dog Man’ Movie Based On Books From ‘Captain Underpants’ Creator Set For 2025 Release From Universal And DWA

    ‘Dog Man’ Movie Based On Books From ‘Captain Underpants’ Creator Set For 2025 Release From Universal And DWA


    Universal Pictures on Monday afternoon unveiled Dog Man, an animated feature adaptation of the beloved book series by Dav Pilkey — the author-illustrator best known for his enduringly popular kids’ graphic novel series Captain Underpants. Dog Man has been slated by the studio to open wide on Friday, January 31, 2025.

    Previously on the release schedule as Untitled DreamWorks Animation Film, the movie has no competitors yet on the release calendar as it looks to its first weekend in theaters.

    Directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants), Dog Man‘s plot is thrust into motion when a dog and a police officer are injured together on the job. A life-saving surgery thereafter changes the course of history when Dog Man is born. Half dog, half man, Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve — as long as he isn’t distracted by squirrels — as he doggedly pursues his arch-nemesis: the feline supervillain Petey the Cat. But the rivalry between Dog Man and Petey is upended by the arrival of an adorable kitten clone of Petey, Lil Petey, who changes the game for both of them.

    The Dog Man Scholastic series, launched in 2016, currently consists of 11 books, with 12th entry Dog Man: The Scarlet Shedder scheduled to hit shelves in March. The series has been translated into 45 languages, selling more than 60 million copies in print, also spawning spinoff Cat Kid Comic Club, which topped global bestseller lists when it debuted in 2020.

    Serving as producer for the Dog Man feature is Karen Foster (Spirit Untamed). Hastings is repped by Gotham Group.
