This treasured animated feature has enduring multi-generational appeal and makes for a great day at the cinema for the whole family.” Shrek 20th Anniversary | Movie Synopsis
In the film, brave(ish), kind-hearted ogre Shrek (Mike Myers) embarks on a daring quest to rescue the feisty Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) —who’s perfectly capable of rescuing herself, thank you very much— with the help of his loveable, loudmouthed Donkey (Eddie Murphy), in an attempt to win back the deed to his beloved swamp from the vain, scheming, and surprisingly petite Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). But what begins as a rescue mission will become an epic story of eternal love and enduring friendship for the ages.
Shrek was directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson and was produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg, Aron Warner, and John H. Williams. Related:DreamWorks Releases Trolls: Trollstopia Season Two Trailer
