Shrek: Forever After: The Final Chapter


Story Overview: Shrek the Ogre lives in his swamp yet again with his family. While at the kids first birthday party he freaks out from not living an ogre life, but as a family man and wanders off alone. He meets a man named Rumpelstiltskin who offers Shrek a deal where he gets to live one day like an ogre and in return has to sign over a day from his past. Shrek agrees to this and signs his magical deal contract and right away Shrek starts living an ogre life. He soon realizes that he has lost everything that made his life great and has one day to try getting his life back (kiss from his true love) or else he will perish forever.

This is the fourth and final instalment of the Shrek series. With this they went with a BOOM releasing a great movie. Unlike the second and third Shrek, this one was full of great jokes and action like the first movie had to offer. Also you feel good as you see Shrek have to re-befriend all his fairytale group. I really love how the Ginger Bread Man fights Animal Crackers as a living. Shrek: Forever After can relate to the first one because it is all about a single ogre trying to build relationships with everyone. Even Donkey near the end tries to build a bond with his Dragon lover.

The graphics are great like always being cartoonish but they move realisticly. The music they have the characters are also great as you hear covers of some great classics that parents would enjoy. Donkey is once again as funny as he can be as he becomes friends with Shrek. This is a movie every family should watch.
