Where To Watch Shrek (2001)

Shrek is a witty, irreverent animated fantasy-comedy that follows a solitary ogre whose quiet swamp life is upended when a horde of fairy-tale creatures banished by a tyrannical lord descend upon his home. To reclaim his privacy, Shrek strikes a deal with the lord: rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded castle so that she may become the lord’s bride. Accompanied by a chatty donkey, Shrek sets off on a humorous, adventure-filled journey. Along the way, he discovers that both Fiona and true friendship are not what they seem, leading to a story that subverts fairy-tale tropes with heart, laughs, and a moral about acceptance beyond appearances.
