I was very impressed with the movie as a whole. The animation and detail were indeed exquisite, and the gags at some points made me laugh so hard I couldn't hear the next gag. I loved the new character 'Puss in Boots' (I think is his name). The 'COPS' rip-off scene was over the top, and him being busted with catnip had me crying almost. I did have some problems with the movie, though.
Some of the humor seemed a tad inappropriate for pre-teens in my opinion. The biggest one being the discovery that Pinocchio was wearing a woman's thong. I would think they could come up with something a little more tasteful to make Pinocchio lie. But besides this minor grievance, I would still recommend it as a family movie, as there are many gags that the kids can get, and many only the parents will.

"Kids film Shrek 2 has been blasted by angry parents who deem the animated movie too sexy for children.
The hit fairytale - which has become a box office smash in America - hit British cinema screens on Friday, but family morals group Traditional Values Coalition are urging parents to prevent their children from watching the film, claiming it carries "subtle sexual messages".
A spokesman for the group tells Britain's Daily Sport newspaper, "The movie features a male-to-female transgender - in transition - as an evil bartender. The character has five o'clock shadow (stubble), wears a dress and has breasts."
"During a dance scene this transgendered man expresses sexual desire for Prince Charming, jumps on him, and both tumble to the floor."
The watchdog organization believe the film is promoting a transsexual agenda which is against family values."

What are your views on this? Tell me if I'm wrong but arent the Ugly Sisters, of which the character they are referring to above is one, are played by men in pantomimes here? Some people just take it to far, of all papers talk to, they choose the Daily Sport? :S

I saw it awhile ago, I'll just say that bootleg movies have increased lately. :)
Anyway seeing as what I saw was the US version I was suprised to here that there were voice changes for the UK release.
The Ugly Stepsister/Bar'maid' had a more deeper voice and was voiced by talkshow host Larry King, yet it was done by Jonathan Ross in the UK version?
Also this one is even more strange, replacing the red carpet report who was even modeled after her, Joan Rivers with the voice of Kate Thornton (I dont know who she is but I think most people know who Joan Rivers is).
I dont think they should have bothered
