Yes - Shrek 3 is as good as the others. There are some bits only adults will get and the usual fart jokes for the men. There's a belching sequence that had everyone in the cinema howling with laughter and a tender moment that will tear your heartstrings.... until you work out who is singing the background music at that moment....

Re: thread creep - I read the first Dark Materials book and liked it a lot. I hastened out to buy the other two because I wanted to know what happened but by the time I'd got them, I'd forgotten the first book - now that is not something that happens with me. I can remember the plots of books I read 30 years ago. This one I read last year - couldn't even tell you the hero's name. Consequently, I read one chapter of the second book, got bored and left it. Book three remains virgin and unopened on the shelf. I daresay I'll get round to reading them eventually but I have so many other books....
