Shrek the Third

About the story

The story of the ogre prince and princess continues. Shrek thought he and Fiona could live carefree in their swamp, but her father, the King of Far Far Away who has turned into a frog, falls gravely ill. Shrek and Fiona must give up their freedom to inherit the kingdom. For Shrek, troubles come together: Fiona is pregnant, and he is clearly not ready to be a father. Unwilling to inherit the throne and worried about his unborn little ogres, Shrek sets out with the talkative Donkey and Puss in Boots to find Fiona's distant cousin Artie. After much persuasion, the laid-back Artie finally agrees to take on the troublesome throne, and the four begin a lively journey home. Meanwhile, Fiona, who has remained with her parents, faces serious trouble herself. The villain Prince Charming returns with a gang of pirates and plots to usurp the throne. Fiona organizes a women's self-rescue team, with fairy-tale princesses and royal mothers joining a hilarious battle for justice. Shrek and his three companions return in time and join them, raising the curtain on an unconventional showdown.
