Not One But Two ‘Shrek’ Movies Are Landing Netflix This March 2022

It's a double treat for the Shrek zealots out there because its a back-to-back movie of the most loved ogre in the whole world is about to land on Netflix this March.

The original ‘Shrek’ movie will join its sequel as Netflix will be releasing ‘Shrek (2001)’ and ‘Shrek 2 (2004)’ movies on March 1st. You may watch the trailers on YouTube, on Netflix and down here.

'Shrek' is a computer-animated fantasy comedy film released in 2001 that is partially based on William Steig's 1990 fairy tale picture book of the same name. 

The film mocks other fairy tale adaptations, with a focus on Disney animated films. The plot follows Shrek (Myers), an ogre who discovers his swamp has been overrun by fairy tale creatures who have been banished by the wicked Lord Farquaad (Lithgow), who is vying for the throne. Farquaad agrees to let Shrek back into his swamp in exchange for rescuing Princess Fiona (Diaz), whom Farquaad plans to marry. Shrek sets out on his quest with the help of Donkey (Murphy), but he soon falls in love with the princess, who is harboring a secret that will change his life forever.

It stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow as the primary characters and is directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson in their directorial debut.

Shrek 2 is a computer-animated fantasy comedy film from the United States released in 2004. It is partially based on the 1990 picture book Shrek! by William Steig.

It is the sequel to Shrek (2001) and the second installment in the Shrek film franchise, directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, and Conrad Vernon. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz reprise their roles as Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona, respectively, in the picture. Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews, John Cleese, Rupert Everett, and Jennifer Saunders provide voices for new characters.

Shrek 2 parodies other fairy tale films and includes references to American popular culture, just like its predecessor. Shrek 2 picks up after the events of the previous film, with Shrek and Donkey meeting Fiona's parents as her zealous Fairy Godmother prepares to undermine Shrek and Fiona's marriage. To thwart her ambitions, Shrek and Donkey partner up with a swashbuckling cat named Puss in Boots. 

The first film's screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio were replaced with Adamson on Shrek 2.. DreamWorks Animation is the producer of Shrek 1 and 2.
