Summer of Sequels
Shrek Forever After (May 21)
He has everything an ogre could want -- true love, good friends, a happily-ever-after life -- but Shrek longs to feel his mojo again, even for a day. An ill-advised deal with Rumpelstiltskin grants that wish, thrusting Shrek into a "Lost"-like alternate world where Donkey doesn't know him, witches rule the skies, and Puss in Boots has packed on the pounds. And Fiona? Having never met Shrek, she now leads a band of ogre outlaws. Can Shrek save Far Far Away and win
back his true love?
Sex and the City 2 (May 27)
Get your Manolos ready! It has been two years since we last sipped Cosmos with the gals of "Sex and the City," and so much has happened: Carrie and Big's passion has fizzled, Charlotte and Harry are overwhelmed by the stresses of parenthood with a new baby in the house, Miranda and Steve are working hard on their relationship in Brooklyn, and Samantha, well, is still Samantha... sultry, single, and still trying desperately to hang on to what is left of her youth. Always on the quest for excitement, the ladies travel to Abu Dhabi in style, and Carrie's relationship is called into question when she unexpectedly runs into former fiance Aiden. Uh oh! Will this pose big problems for Mr. and Mrs. Big?
Toy Story 3 (June 18)
With Andy grown and college-bound, Woody, Buzz and the gang find themselves donated to a preschool. Woody stands alone in his belief that Andy would never have abandoned them -- and when things turn dark at Sunnyside, the others join him in a quest to return to Andy's room. When Andy discovers their absence, the wheels are set in motion for an emotional roller coaster for everyone who ever loved a toy.
