Aidan Kelley has been working as a film & television journalist for over two years, following a lifelong passion for the art form.
Quick Links Once could say that DreamWorks Animation is the house that the Shrek franchise built. The sixth film from the animation giant, the original Shrek made waves in the animation world. It was praised as a brilliant satirical comedy that poked plenty of well-written fun at DreamWorks' arch-rival, Walt Disney Animation. The unique fairy tale world got even bigger in Shrek 2 - a flawless sequel that is just as good if not better than the film that preceded it.
DreamWorks and Universal already have three movies set for release in 2025, including Dog Man on January 31, The Bad Guys 2 on August 1, and Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie on September 26. The animation studio has never released four movies in a single year, and considering that the studio has already dated movies for the winter, late summer, and early fall, Shrek 5 will likely land sometime in the holiday corridor between November and December.
Shrek was once an isolated but content ogre owner of a swamp, spending his days taking mud baths and scaring off villagers. His life is suddenly upended when wannabe king Lord Farquad declares that all fairy tale creatures be banished to Shrek's swampland. Now unable to shake an extremely talkative Donkey , Shrek makes a deal with Farquad to rescue Princess Fiona from her dragon-guarded prison and bring her back, so the Lord can marry her.
The timeline continues with Puss in Boots, where Shrek's feline companion returns to his hometown and comes face to face with his friend-turned-enemy, Humpty Alexander Dumpty . Along with the shady egg and master thief Kitty Softpaws, the group forms a trio to steal the legendary golden goose and become rich beyond their wildest dreams. Humpty of course betrays Puss, but the feline hero is able to save the day and right the wrongs he committed in his past.
However, the CEO of the animation company behind the recent hit video game film being involved with Shrek 5 doesn't mean Illumination Animation will be making Shrek 5. Meledandri also produced Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which of course is still made by DreamWorks.
