Plot

With the heir to the Far Far Away throne missing, Shrek and Fiona are forced to stand in as rulers. In order to return home to their swamp, it is up to Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots to find the true heir. During their absence, Princess Fiona finds herself faced with a coup attempt by Prince Charming. [2]

When the movie opens, Shrek and Fiona are having to take on the duties of being the active king and queen of Far Far Away. When we left him, the King was quite literally croaking. They're not very comfortable in these roles, so the King says to them, "If you can find the heir to the throne and bring him back, the Kingdom will be in good hands, then you can return to swamp and live your lives."

Shrek, Donkey, and Puss go to the far side of the Kingdom of Far Far Away where young "Artie," who is the nephew of Queen Lilian, is about to graduate from school. Artie turns out to be young King Arthur, and Shrek, Donkey, and Puss have to convince this extremely rebellious young man, voiced by Justin Timberlake, to come back and assume the throne. Along the way, Shrek invents the Round Table and chivalry. Donkey is the Lady of the Lake with the sword. Meanwhile, back at the Kingdom of Far Far Away, Prince Charming decides that it's time for a coup d'etat. "The cat's away. He will play." So Fiona organizes all of the princesses into the underground Resistance movement, who are trying to hold things together until Shrek, Donkey, Puss, and young King Arthur return.
