Because the film was designed to appeal to both kids and adults. The parents will laugh at the references to "Gap Queen" and the "medieval meal", while those jokes will fly right over their kids' heads.

Puss in boots, Antonio Banderas, is reason enough to buy a ticket to Shrek 2. That, plus it is a much better film than the first one, IMO.

There were a few scenes that I though were inappropriate and unneccessary but all in all a fun movie!

It is STILL a "kid's movie", and both kids and adults will always think of it as such.

Just as we think Cinderella is a kid's movie.

How is it that that didn't need all those "adult" (read: *immature* childish sexuality and profanity and crude behavior - yes, including farting) innuendoes and such?

I'm not talking about things generally only more knowledgeable adults would know about - Bugs Bunny was replete w/that kind of stuff: historical references, arts references, contemporary issues, etc. I'm talking about baseness, crudity. Ugliness.
