"Once upon a time, there was an ogre named Shrek...." Thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who goes on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her own rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and several other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. And his name is Shrek!
