Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ornery ogre named
Shrek whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of
annoying fairy tale characters. There are blind mice in his food, a big,
bad wolf in his bed, three little homeless pigs and more, all banished
from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their
home--not to mention his own--Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets
out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona to be Farquaad's bride.
Accompanying him on his mission is wisecracking Donkey,
who will do anything for Shrek... except shut up. Rescuing the
Princess from a fire-breathing dragon may prove the least
of their problems when the deep, dark secret she has been
keeping is revealed.
