Watched Shrek 2 last night. Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas' voice-overs for the donkey and the cat respectively are simply hilarious. Whenever these characters spoke, I couldn't help picturing the actors behind the voices; this added to the fun. The high point of the movie for me was the spoof of 'Cops' when Shrek and his buddies get arrested; the cat is pressed against the wall and its paws are cuffed behind its back. The 'police' discover a small plastic pouch containing a suspicious-looking powder hidden in the folds of the cat's clothes; the cat says "that's not mine" in a thick Spanish accent. I was literally rolling on the floor.
