Where to Watch Shrek: Is It on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ or Others?

Shrek is a computer-animated comedy film released in 2001 in the United States. It is based on William Steig’s 1990 picture book of the same name. The film is the first in the Shrek series.

Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow feature in the picture, which was directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson on their directorial debuts and is based on a script by Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Joe Stillman, and Roger S. H. Schulman. Shrek (Myers) discovers his swamp has been overrun by fairy tale monsters banished by Lord Farquaad in the film (Lithgow).

Shrek decides to save Princess Fiona (Diaz) with the help of Donkey (Murphy) so that Farquaad can reclaim his swamp.

Steven Spielberg attempted to develop a traditionally animated film adaptation of Steig’s book after obtaining the rights to the book in 1991, but John H. Williams persuaded him to bring the idea to DreamWorks in 1994. Following the studio’s purchase of the rights from Steven Spielberg in 1995, Jeffrey Katzenberg began work on Shrek.

Chris Farley was cast as the voice of the titular character and recorded most of the essential language; however, he died in 1997 before the film was completed, and Myers was hired to replace him, giving Shrek his trademark Scottish accent.

The movie was supposed to be made via motion capture, but due to unsatisfactory test results, the studio engaged Pacific Data Images to finish the computer animation. Other fairy tale versions, particularly animated Disney films, are parodied by Shrek.

Plot

Shrek is a cranky, stinky, and unsightly ogre that lives in a swamp. One night, he wakes up to discover his territory occupied by a swarm of fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, the three little pigs, Peter Pan, Snow White, and Cinderella, among others), who have been exiled by the terrible Lord Farquaad.

One of them is a donkey (who simply will not stop talking). Shrek confronts Lord Farquaad, accompanied by him, and demands the return of his kingdom.

To reclaim his swamp, Farquaad offers him a deal: he must save Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded fortress. Shrek and Donkey rush to the Princess’s aid, narrowly missing being roasted by the dragon.

Fiona is irritated by the fact that she was rescued by an ugly monster instead of Prince Charming. Despite their differences, she and Shrek develop an affection for one another.

Fiona hides in a windmill on the second night of their trek back. When Donkey comes across her, he realizes that she has been transformed into an ogress. She reveals that she’s been cast under a spell that can only be broken by the first kiss of real love.

Shrek overhears some of this, but misinterprets it and concludes that she doesn’t love him because he’s ugly. The sun rises, and she transforms back into a lovely princess just as she makes the decision to tell Shrek the truth.

Lord Farquaad appears and whisks Fiona away to his castle, while Shrek returns to his swamp. They’re both unhappy. Later, Shrek, Donkey, and Dragon visit Farquaad’s castle in an attempt to prevent Fiona from marrying him. He reveals his genuine plans of marrying Fiona Farquaad. Fiona reverts to an ogress after the sun sets.

Farquaad refuses to marry her and enlists the help of Dragon, who eats Farquaad. Fiona and Shrek exchange kisses. As a result, Fiona marries Shrek and lives “ugly” ever after (in accordance with the spell: “you find true love’s first kiss and then take love’s true shape”).
