We took Caroline to see “Shrek: Forever After,” which lacked the charm of the first two films but had a far superior story to the third one. What we thought was a nice touch–a fitting tribute–was that the part of “the Pied Piper,” which was performed entirely on flute (no spoken words) was played by one Jeremy Steig. If the name sounds at all familiar, it’s probably because his father was William Steig, a famed author who wrote the book “Shrek!” upon which the entire franchise was based.
