"SHREK'' SYNOPSIS
Once upon a time in a far away swamp, there lived an
ornery ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude was
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!
DreamWorks SKG was formed in October 1994 by its
three principal partners, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and
David Geffen, as a single company to produce live-action motion
pictures; animated feature films and television programs; network,
syndicated and cable television programming; records; books; toys and
consumer products.
