Shrek
2001 · 1h 30m · Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Family, Fantasy · United States of America · Rated PG (US)
The greatest fairy tale never told.
It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.
