Shrek is a 2001 American computer-animated fantasy comedy film loosely based on the 1990 children's picture book of the same name by William Steig. Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson (in their feature directorial debuts) and written by Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Joe Stillman, and Roger S. H.
“Getting sent to 'Shrek' felt like being sent to Siberia,” the director Vicky Jenson recalled. But when the movie was widely released on May 18, 2001, it immediately topped the box office, received wide critical acclaim and went on to win the first Academy Award for best animated feature.
While we know from the first song's lyrics that Shrek is actually seven, we're never explicitly told Fiona's age. At least not directly.
did you know that Shrek is 108 years old in the first Shrek movie, making an 86 year age gap between him and Fiona, who's supposed to be 22? How do you know Shreks age ?
Story highlights. After over a decade since the last Shrek movie, DreamWorks Animation has finally confirmed that the beloved franchise is making a comeback with Shrek 5. All the major voice actors are expected to return.
As of April 2023, there is no Shrek 5 release date.
In a recent interview, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri confirmed a fifth movie with the original cast was in the works but there is no confirmation as to when it will begin production or release.
Shrek is rated PG by the MPAA for mild language and some crude humor.
35 years old, Princess Fiona has to act like the queen of Far Far Away while her father is ill. When the latter passes away, Shrek sets out to find her cousin Arthur Pendragon (or Artie), and she tells him that she is pregnant (something that she has been hinting at since the start of the film).
The name "Shrek" is derived from the German word Schreck, meaning "fright" or "terror".
R: Restricted - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or guardian. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated movies unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian 25 years of age or older.
The MPAA rated Shrek 2 PG for some crude humor, a brief substance reference and some suggestive content.
6 uses of damn (4 in a song), 3 uses of ass, 1 use of crap, 1 use of hell. Lord Farquaad has been said to be hinting at the term "f-wad".
The Pied Piper is a minor character in Dreamworks' 5th full-length animated feature film Shrek and a major antagonist in DreamWorks' 20th full-length animated feature film Shrek Forever After.
Shrek Forever After is the fourth and final feature film in the Shrek series (to date). It features Shrek as a happily married ogre with children.
Shrek Forever After is a 2010 American computer-animated comedy film loosely based on the 1990 children's picture book Shrek! by William Steig. Directed by Mike Mitchell and written by Josh Klausner and Darren Lemke, it is the sequel to Shrek the Third (2007) and the fourth installment in the Shrek film series.
According to Adam Adamson, who directed the first two movies in the franchise, Shrek's height sits somewhere between 7 and 8 feet tall.
Movie, Shrek 5 is courting original cast members (Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy) to reprise their roles for the reboot. “We anticipate the cast coming back,” Meledandri remarked. “Talks are starting now, and every indication that we've gotten is there's tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of the actors to return.”
How tall is Lord Farquaad? Farquaad's height is approximately 3 feet. This came from an interview with an actor from Shrek the Musical and makes Farquaad shorter than Shrek: Forever After's Rumpelstiltskin, who is 4 feet 7 inches.
He has no name, and has to make up one when he is asked by Donkey. At the beginning of the movie, he is reading a book, which at the end of the movie is revealed to have 'Shrek' on the cover. He used the name of the book for his own name, because he has no name.
