Who would have thought the world would fall in love with a grumpy green ogre? That's exactly what happened when Shrek was released in 2001, launching three sequels, a spin-off film and TV series about Puss in Boots, and several shorts. 2010âs Shrek Forever After seemed to mark the end of the saga, but now DreamWorks Animation has confirmed that Shrek 5 is in the works.
It was released in the United States on November 7, 2003 by New Line Cinema.
