Storyline
Shrek is an anti-social and highly-territorial green ogre who loves the solitude of his swamp. His life is interrupted after the dwarfish Lord Farquaad of Duloc exiles a countless number of fairy-tale creatures to Shrek’s swamp. He reluctantly allows the talkative Donkey, who was exiled as well, to tag along and guide him to Duloc.
