Shrek is a 2001 American computer-animated comedy film loosely based on the 1990 fairytale picture book of the same name by William Steig. Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson in their directorial debuts, it is the first installment in the Shrek franchise. In the film, the ogre Shrek finds his swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures banished by Lord Farquaad. With the help of Donkey, Shrek agrees to rescue Princess Fiona for Farquaad to regain his swamp.

Shrek premiered at the Mann Village Theatre In Westwood, and was later shown at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or, making it the first animated film since Disney's Peter Pan to be chosen to do so. The film was theatrically released by DreamWorks Pictures in the United States on May 18, 2001, and grossed over $487 million worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2001.

Several sequels have been released — Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After, and two spin-off films with many other productions in the Shrek franchise. The latest installment of the series, Shrek 5, is slated to be released in December 2026.
