What happens

Shrek Forever After is a 2010 American animated comedy film loosely based on the 1990 children's picture book Shrek! by William Steig and produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by Mike Mitchell, and written by Josh Klausner and Darren Lemke, it is the sequel to Shrek the Third (2007) and the fourth installment in the Shrek franchise. The film stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews, and John Cleese reprising their voice roles from the previous films, with Walt Dohrn joining the cast. The story follows Shrek, now a domesticated family man and local celebrity, longing for his days of solitude and being feared, leading him to make a magic deal with the deceitful imp Rumpelstiltskin, which creates grave consequences. Shrek Forever After premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2010, and was theatrically released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on May 21. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $756 million, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2010. Although intended to be the final film in the series, a fifth film currently titled Shrek 5 was announced in 2024 and is slated for release on June 30, 2027. Two spin-off films, Puss in Boots (2011) and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), have also been released, while a spin-off centered around Donkey is in development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
