The secret story behind SHREK

At the beginning of the 21st century, Shrek broke the stereotypes of animated films. The story of the ugly but tender ogre, his friendship with Donkey, and his romantic relationship with Princess Fiona broke every convention of animated feature films and fairy tales in general. With a different take on the script and a mood that would make children and adults instant fans. Far from a shallow and pristine main character, Shrek made his way as one of the most unusual and lovable antiheroes in film history.

But the first act of antiheroism, showing that one could move on from adverse circumstances, happened in real life during the production of this film and had producer Jeffrey Katzenberg as the protagonist. Get ready, because Shrek isn't only an incredible movie. It also hides one of the craziest revenge stories that ever took place in Hollywood behind the scenes.

Schulman, it is the first installment in the Shrek film series. The film stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. In the film, an embittered ogre named Shrek (Myers) finds his home in the swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures banished by the obsessive ruler Lord Farquaad (Lithgow).
