90 minsOverview
It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully irreverent fairy tale that subverts every princess-rescue trope with heart and humor. It's a film that knows exactly what it's doing when it makes an ogre the hero and a talkative donkey the emotional core.
