Shrek, a grumpy ogre lives alone in his swamp. The world is afraid and laughed at him, and he is more than happy not to care.
One day, his hermit existence is opened, when a group of homeless fairy-tale characters seek refuge. Pinocchio, the gingerbread man, the three little pigs, and more flees the persecution of the cruel Lord Farquaad.
Shrek goes to meet Farquaad who offers him an agreement: if Shrek saves Princess Fiona (whom Farquaad wishes to marry), Farquaad will send the fairy tale creatures back to their homes.
Shrek enters the world for the first time in his life. He goes to Princess Fiona's prison, rescues her from a fire-breathing dragon. But most frightening of all, he's forced to get to know the princess as he brings her back to Farquaad.
Much to the ogre's dismay, Fiona is very different from what he expected of a princess. She even provokes the newest experience for Shrek: love.
All with puppets, tap dancing, dazzling decorations and non-stop laughter!
