“It's a big bright beautiful
world...”
What the world presents is quite
different from the picture formed by expectations in your head. This
reality—and other life's ironies—dawned on Shrek and Princess
Fiona, but the effect on their lives is something that makes everyone
wonder, “Why did I not ever wish for this to happen?”
Shrek is a big, fat, ugly Ogre who was
sent out by his parents at the tender age of seven. He knew from the
start that there's a “big, bright, beautiful world” out there—but
not for him. He thinks that only the physically beautiful deserve it;
not someone who's hideous looking.
Princess Fiona has been locked up in a
tower since she was a child. Every day, she expects that her Prince
Charming will climb up the tower and rescue her from the solitary
loneliness that has been her companion.
Lord Farquaad, the vain, short ruler of
Duloc realizes that he needs to rescue Princess Fiona from the
dragon-guarded tower and marry her, so he could be king. But he
didn't want to do the mission himself.
They are unsuspecting that their lives will change one fateful day. Sent by Lord Farquaad shortly after
arriving in Duloc, Shrek, together with his new-found quirky friend,
Donkey, embarks on a mission he accepts with the sole purpose of
recovering his swamp from the unjust ruler. The three has different
expectations. Little do they know that their stories are written with
a different plot.
