01

Shrek

18 May 2001

An ogre wants his swamp back. Won the first Best Animated Feature Oscar, and deserved it.

EssentialMovie
02

Shrek 2

19 May 2004

Meeting the in-laws, and the arrival of Puss in Boots. Better than the first, and that is not a common opinion by accident.

EssentialMovie
03

Shrek the Third

18 May 2007

The weakest of the four, and the point the formula stopped surprising anyone.

Movie
04

Shrek Forever After

21 May 2010

An It's a Wonderful Life riff, and a better ending than the third film suggested was coming.

Movie
05

Shrek 5

30 Jun 2027

The original cast returns, twenty-six years after the first film. Moved off 23 December 2026 to clear a weekend that already held Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.

Coming Jun 2027Movie

Puss in Boots

2011 – 2022 · Spin-off · A prequel, and a much later sequel.

Puss in Boots

28 Oct 2011

A prequel, set before Puss ever meets Shrek.

Movie
07

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

21 Dec 2022

Eleven years later, and startlingly good. A film about mortality, with the best animation DreamWorks has produced.
