Jenson. The story takes place in an imaginary land where people and
fairy tale creatures live together. The main characters are Shrek, Donkey,
Princess Fiona and Lord Farquaad. Mike Myers does Shrek’s voice, Eddie
Murphy does Donkey’s, and Cameron Diaz is Princess Fiona. Shrek is an
ogre. He is an enormous and scary green creature that lives in a fetid old
swamp. He has a happy and quiet life until Lord Farquaad decides to
move all the fairy tale creatures to his swamp. Shrek is not happy about
this decision. He and Donkey go to Lord Farquaad to talk to him about
the problem. Lord Farquaad tells Shrek that he can get his home back but
only if he saves Princess Fiona from a castle and brings her to him.
Farquaad wants to marry Fiona. At the castle, Shrek and Donkey have to
fight a dangerous dragon. This film is well worth seeing.
