Shrek

Shrek

2001

It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek (Michael Myers). On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess (Cameron Diaz) from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey (Eddie Murphy).

The greatest fairy tale never told.
