Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Fathom Events have partnered to bring Shrek to select movie theaters nationwide for its 20th anniversary on Sun., Apr. 25 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., Wed., Apr. 28 at 7 p.m. & Thurs., Apr. 29 at 7 p.m. (all times local).
Once upon a time in a far away swamp, there lived an ornery ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy-tale characters. There are blind mice in his food, a big, bad wolf in his bed, three little homeless pigs and more, all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow).
Determined to save their home—not to mention his own—Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad’s bride. Accompanying him on his mission is a wisecracking Donkey (Eddie Murphy), who will do anything for Shrek…except shut up. Rescuing the Princess from a fire-breathing dragon may prove the least of their problems when the deep, dark secret she has been keeping is revealed.
In addition to the hilarious and irreverent Academy Award®-winning animated classic feature, audiences will be treated to DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed animated short film, To: Gerard, and the trailer to the studio’s breathtaking new animated feature film, Spirit Untamed.
