Product Information
Set in a strange, colourful land populated by fairy tale characters, SHREK is a hilarious comedy that will win over audiences of children and adults alike. Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is a fearsome green ogre living in isolation in his own cosy little swamp. He is not receptive to visitors, and fends off the occasional party of torch-wielding villagers with ease. But when the power-hungry Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) turns Shrek's swamp into a relocation camp for dozens of banished fairy-tale characters (including some pesky dwarves, wolves, and fairies) Shrek's quiet, introverted life is ruined. Joined by the talkative Donkey (Eddie Murphy), Shrek makes his way to Farquaad's realm of Duloc, where the Lord promises to make Shrek an offer: He will rid Shrek's land of the unwanted visitors if Shrek will go on a simple quest to free Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from her remote, dragon-guarded castle and convince her to marry Farquaad. On their quest, Shrek and Donkey run into a number of bizarre situations, and Shrek finds himself realising that he isn't quite the fearsome monster he has always made himself out to be. Reinventing the traditional fairy tale adventure, SHREK features gorgeous computer animation, a unique sense of humour, and compelling characters--especially Murphy's lovable Donkey.Product Identifiers

ReviewsWall Street Journal - The charms of SHREK, which is based on the children's book by William Steig, go far beyond in-jokes for adults., Film4 - Hugely entertaining, sassy and great-looking..., Empire Magazine - Beautifully written, gloriously animated and tastily subversive., Empire - This is the first CGI gig to seriously challenge TOY STORYÆs autonomy, beautifully written, gloriously animated and tastily subversive., BBC.com - This fable structure is allied to both a witty cynicism and sense of fun, which pervades the entire movie in equal measure.
