While Shrek and Fiona were enjoying marital bliss, Shrek’s father-in-law fell ill and the question of a successor became urgent. Since Shrek had no plans to take over the kingdom of Far Far Away, he had to go in search of Fiona’s cousin, Arnie, who was an asshole. Shrek went in the company of Talking Donkey and Puss in Boots. While the boys roam the world, Fiona and her mother had to defend the kingdom from the attacks of an army of fairy tale villains.
