Shrek 5: How Puss in Boots 2 Already Paved the Way for Shrek and Donkey's Return.



After nearly a decade and a half away from the spotlight, Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona are finally preparing for their long-awaited return to the big screen. On Tuesday afternoon, DreamWorks Animation announced that Shrek 5 is officially on the way and will hit theaters in 2026. The new film will reunite Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz for the first time since Shrek Forever After in 2010, but some of Shrek's biggest fans have actually been expecting this news since 2022, when DreamWorks first teased the ogre's return.When he delivers the "see some old friends" part of the line, the score of the film changes to bring back the instantly recognizable melody from Shrek. As if that wasn't enough, a chunk of land is revealed out in front of the boat, with the enormous "Far Far Away" sign sticking out across the mountain.READ
