"What's not to love .... a hip, fresh and deliciously subversive spin on classic fairy tales." - Michael D. Reid, Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home -- not to mention his -- Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.

"Smart, funny, deliciously hip, irreverent and just plain lovable, it's for everyone from pre-school to post retirement." - Dan DiNicola, The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)
