Meet the ugliest, greenest, and most bad-tempered fellow you will ever encounter. Shrek is an ogre who is so terribly hideous that people run away from him in sheer panic. When his parents finally kick him out of their swampy home, they tell him it is time to go out into the world and cause some serious trouble. Shrek is more than happy to oblige. Wandering down the road, he frightens everyone in his path, from peasants to fierce dragons. Along the way, a witch gives him a special fortune, promising that he will soon meet and marry a princess who is even uglier than he is. This exciting news sends Shrek on a hilariously messy quest to find his perfectly dreadful bride. Tag along on this totally twisted fairy tale where being gross is great and finding true love means finding someone just as monstrous as you are.
