Story Overview:
Shrek has settled comfortably into family life, raising teenage ogre kids and enjoying a quieter swamp — but as always, peace doesn’t last long. When a magical imbalance begins causing fairy-tale realms to merge chaotically, Shrek is forced back into action to stop the enchanted world from collapsing into complete nonsense.

The cause? A once-forgotten sorcerer known as The Storybinder, who seeks to rewrite every fairy tale into one “perfect” narrative — with himself as the hero. His magic warps the swamp into a living storybook where characters swap roles, creatures act out the wrong tales, and heroes become villains overnight.

To fix the mess, Shrek teams up once again with Donkey, Fiona, and Puss in Boots, embarking on a wild quest through fractured classics: a horror-inspired Sleeping Beauty forest, a pirate-themed Cinderella kingdom, and a chaotic Wizard of Oz maze where nothing stays the same for more than a minute.

Along the journey, Shrek struggles with his own fear: that his kids no longer see him as the hero he once was. But as he learns, every family — even an ogre family — writes its own story.

“To save the fairy-tale world, he must believe in his own.”
