Shrek (2001)

Dana and Tom discuss their second animated movie of the show, Shrek, for it's 20th Anniversary this year starring Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, and John Lithgow.

Plot Summary: Shrek (Mike Myers) is a green ogre who loves the solitude of his swamp. However, his life is interrupted after the dwarfish Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) exiles a vast number of fairy-tale creatures to Shrek's swamp. Angered by the intrusion, he decides to visit Farquaad and demand they be moved elsewhere. Shrek reluctantly allows the talkative Donkey (Eddie Murphy) who was exiled as well, to tag along and guide him. Meanwhile, Farquaad learns that for him to become a true king, he must marry a princess. Farquaad chooses the beautiful Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), who is imprisoned in a castle tower guarded by a dragon. Unwilling to perform the task himself, he organizes a tournament in which the winner will receive the "privilege" of rescuing Fiona. Shrek and Donkey arrive during the tournament and defeat Farquaad's knights to which Farquaad then proclaims them champions and demands that they rescue Fiona. Shrek negotiates to have the fairytale creatures relocated if he succeeds, and Farquaad accepts. But in this fairytale, the happily ever after is not what either of them suspects.
