Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named
Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale
misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big
ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront
Farquaad, he's handed a task – if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his
swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord
Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and
turns along the way.
