Shrek 5
About the Shrek saga
DreamWorks Animation's 'Shrek' (2001) turned fairy tales upside down with a grumpy ogre who only wants to be left alone in his swamp and ends up rescuing a princess with a secret. Based on William Steig's book, it was the first winner of the Oscar for best animated feature, and its humour, its digs at Disney and its pop soundtrack shaped the animation of the decade.
'Shrek 2' (2004) was the highest-grossing animated film of its time and introduced Puss in Boots, voiced by Antonio Banderas. Then came 'Shrek the Third' (2007) and 'Shrek Forever After' (2010), and the cat got his own films, 'Puss in Boots' (2011) and 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' (2022), nominated for an Oscar.
'Shrek 5' arrives in June 2027 with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz back in their roles, and Zendaya as Shrek's daughter.
