Once upon a time, there was an ogre named "Shrek." When he was a kid, his parents sent him out on his own to take care of himself. He found new digs at a rancid swamp, where he lived for many years all alone. He was able to scare away angry mobs and other things like that. On his normal day, he finds his peace interrupted by fairytale creatures, who claim they were banished from their home of Duloc by order of Lord Farquad. Only so that the squatters can leave, the reclusive ogre decides to give Farquad a peace of his mind. He reluctantly lets an annoying talking donkey to be his guide to Duloc. Upon meeting the moxy-driven yet selfish Lord Farquad, Shrek is offered a deal: go on a quest on behalf of Farquad to rescue a princess locked away in a dragon-guarded castle and he will be given the deed to his swamp. After rescuing the feisty Princess Fiona and while bringing her to Duloc, Shrek finds himself in denial that he and Fiona have many things in common and Donkey discovers Fiona's monstrous secret. This live action movie adaptation will elements from the movie and the Broadway musical (the version on Netflix). There will be some musical numbers.
