Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film, this family-friendly musical comedy follows Shrek, an ogre whose secluded swamp is overrun by banished fairytale misfits. To reclaim his home, Shrek strikes a deal with Lord Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower. Joined by his wisecracking companion Donkey, Shrek embarks on a journey of romance, comedy, and self-acceptance.
