Shrek 2

The second film would pick up right where the first movie ended... with Shrek and Fiona returning from their honeymoon to find a letter from Fiona's parents inviting the newlyweds over for dinner. They have no idea that their daughter is now an ogre.

At the parents, they find out that 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.
