When his new father-in-law, King Harold falls ill, Shrek is looked at as the heir to the land of Far, Far Away. Not one to give up his beloved swamp, Shrek recruits his friends Donkey and Puss in Boots to install the rebellious Artie as the new king. Princess Fiona, however, rallies a band of royal girlfriends to fend off a coup d'etat by the jilted Prince Charming.
The last film of the franchise to introduce completely original characters that are not from fairy tales.
Prince Charming:
Onward, Chauncey! To the highest room of the tallest tower, where my princess awaits rescue by the handsome Prince Charming!
At the end of the film, when Merlin puts Puss and Donkey back in their correct bodies, they turn side on to the camera and hug - no tails can be seen.
The opening Dreamworks Animation logo is covered by clouds.
In the TV version, the line "And you, my friend, are royally screwed" was replaced with a horn sound.
