Synopsis

Big, green and bad-tempered, Shrek is the perfect ogre but one of the most frightening creatures in the kingdom. When his solitude and cabin in the woods is banished by the evil Lord Fargaad, he does everything he can to put the situation right. Joining forces with a silly and talkative donkey, he is ordered by Fargaad to rescue a beautiful princess named Fiona in exchange for his home. On their epic journey across a fairytale universe there are countless moments of comedy and familiar characters along the way. Since it’s release, Shrek has been considered a modern classic that humorously explores and subverts some of the traditional traits of the fairytale genre.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
