The sequel to Dreamworks' animated hit was an even bigger smash than the first movie. Silencing the usual critics of follow-ups, 'Shrek 2' is a truly fantastic film for the whole family, with Murphy's dim but hilarious Donkey stealing the show.

Murphy said himself that "Donkey is a really positive character. He's always looking at the bright side of everything, trying to work it out. A happy-go-lucky donkey."
