SHREK

Special Features: 25th Anniversary

From competing for the Palme d’Or at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival to winning the inaugural Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature and launching the second highest–grossing animated film franchise of all time in the process, everything about SHREK seems as unlikely to break the mold as the film’s green-skinned ogre of a protagonist. After finding his swamp overrun with exiled fairy tale characters relocated by the scheming Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), Shrek (Mike Myers) sets out on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) in exchange for a return to his peaceful life. Aided along the way by a sidekick who may not be the sharpest tool in the shed in the form of Donkey (Eddie Murphy, effortlessly charismatic in a voice role that spawned many catchphrases for children to quote endlessly), Shrek finds himself on a journey that turns him into the shooting star of “the greatest fairy tale never told.” DIR Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson; SCR Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Joe Stillman, Roger S. H. Schulman, from the children’s book “Shrek!” by William Steig; PROD Aron Warner, John H. Williams, Jeffrey Katzenberg. U.S., 2001, color, 90 min. RATED PG
