  3. Basic Information A big scary looking ogre who wants to be left alone to live his life in an isolated swamp. An ogre is a horrible looking green monster in fairy tales, but Shrek is actually quite loveable when you get to know him. A funny and friendly talking Donkey who meets Shrek while trying to run away from some soldiers who want to capture him.

  4. Basic Information A princess who lives in a castle trapped by a fire-breathing dragon. She waits for a handsome prince or knight to save her so she can marry him and live “happily ever after.” A very short and mean-spirited prince who is the leader of the land of DuLoc, who needs to marry Princess Fiona in order to become the King.

  5. Plot Summary • This fairy tale is about the adventures of Shrek, an irritable ogre who is actually lonely and even kind-hearted. One day Shrek meets Donkey, a fast-talking and funny animal, and soon after, Shrek’s isolated life is turned into chaos when hundreds of fairy tale beings invade his swamp. Donkey explains to Shrek that Lord Farquaad, prince of the distant land of DuLoc, probably forces the creatures on to his land, and thus Shrek and Donkey head off for Farquaad’s castle to try and get back his life of peace and quiet. • After arriving at Farquaad’s castle, Shrek agrees to try and rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona from the castle where she is living, trapped by a dragon.

  6. Plot Summary • Farquaad wants to marry Fiona so he can legally become King of DuLoc, and thus he tells Shrek that if he brings him the Princess, he will force the fairy tale characters out of his swamp. Soon after, Shrek and Donkey head off to rescue Fiona. • They are able to free Fiona from the dragon, and all three are soon on their way back to Farquaad’s castle. Fiona seems particularly eager to get back and marry Farquaad, who she thinks must be her “true love.” But the princess seems to have a dark secret, and Shrek and Donkey are not so sure that Farquaad is really the man for her.

  7. Plot Summary • Once back at the castle, the wedding is about to take place; but then Fiona’s secret is revealed. Farquaad is disgusted at the change. Shrek whistles for Dragon. Dragon bursts in along with Donkey, and devours Farquaad. Shrek and Fiona admit their love for each other and share a kiss. Then, Fiona is bathed in light as her curse is broken, but is surprised to find that she has remained an ogress, as she thought she was supposed to become beautiful, to which Shrek replies that she is beautiful. The two of them get married in the swamp and depart on their honeymoon while the rest celebrate by singing.
