In 2004, Dreamworks Animation released a special DVD for the theatrical release of Shrek 2. It was titled Shrek 3-D and was released on May 14, 2004, just a few (five) days before Shrek 2 was released.
Shrek, a lonely Ogre, finds a surprise when fairy tale creatures are sent to live in his swamp by the evil Lord Farquaad. Shrek befriends a talking Donkey, and the two set off to meet with Lord Farquaad. Lord Farquaad needs Princess Fiona to marry him so that he will become king. So when Shrek and Donkey visit him, they are forced to rescue Fiona from an amorous fire-breathing dragon for Farquaad to marry. The Dragon turns out to be a girl and she falls in love with Donkey. However Donkey escapes and Dragon chases them.
Once Shrek and Donkey rescued Fiona they take her back to Lord Farquaad. However Along the way, Shrek falls in love with Fiona. Fiona reveals she is cursed and turns into an Ogre at night. The only way the curse can be broken is by true loves first kiss. Fiona and Farquaad have a marriage ceremony; however they are interrupted by Shrek who tells Fiona he loves her. Shrek and Fiona kiss and Fiona turns into an Ogre permanently. Shrek gets his swamp back, and the two marry there. After a karaoke party the two set off on their honeymoon.
The film is set in a fairytale world, with funny appearances from commonly known fairytale characters. In July 2007, this film was played on Cartoon Network.
The second film opens with Prince Charming on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona from the Dragon. When he gets there he finds the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood in Fiona’s bed. He asks where Fiona is and the wolf tells him she is on her honeymoon with Shrek. Once Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon, they find Donkey in the swamp who tells them he and Dragon are going through a rough patch. They then get invited to the land of Far Far Away by Fiona’s parents who want to bless their marriage. When they arrive Shrek and Fiona aren’t what they expected. The evil Prince Charming and his mother, the Fairy Godmother, are trying to break up Shrek’s marriage by making Fiona fall in love with Prince Charming. However it doesn’t work and Shrek and Fiona stay together. Shrek and Donkey get a new sidekick called Puss in Boots.
In this film, Shrek and Fiona are reluctantly reigning over Far, Far Away during King Harold's prolonged illness. The King promises that if they can find him, he will make Fiona's cousin the next in line, so Shrek doesn't have to run the country after his death. Complicating the matter is a little secret Fiona's been keeping, but the biggest problem is Prince Charming; he's gathered some new partners in crime and Far Far Away is going to go crazy -- Broadway style.
A fourth film is in pre-production, set to be released in 2010. It has been confirmed that it will give details of Shrek's past. The film was previously titled The Next Shrek.[3]
Dreamworks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed that there would be a fifth movie and that "it's a finite story," indicating that it would be the final movie in the series and set to be released in 2013. [3] [4]
