The Shrek movie universe is a fantastical and comedic world filled with fairy tale characters and charmingly quirky inhabitants. It centers around the lovable ogre Shrek, his feisty princess-turned-ogre-wife Fiona, and their loyal friends Donkey and Puss in Boots – a character which has earned his own series of films within this universe. The franchise combines humor, adventure, and heartwarming messages, exploring themes of acceptance, self-discovery, and the power of true love. With its memorable characters, witty dialogue, and clever adaptations of fairy tale tropes, Shrek series is full of animated classics beloved by audiences of all ages.
With Shrek 5 in the early stages of pre-production, there’s no way to tell when it will be released but at least there’s always the classics available to stream online.

The first three Shrek movies are all on Peacock, while the fourth is on Max and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish finds it home on Prime Video.
