The Shrek series, featuring the beloved green ogre, holds a significant place in modern media culture. Kids from the ’90s and ’00s can easily recall numerous memorable lines from this franchise. With four main movies (and two Puss in Boots-focused spin-offs) released since 2001, Shrek has left an indelible mark on pop culture. After a long absence, the title character is slated to return to theaters in 2026 with Shrek 5.
