The story of a crabby green ogre who just wants a bunch of fairy-tale characters to stay out of his swamp, Shrek would become not only a box-office smash hit, but also a massive hit on Ice and stage, and eventually streaming. It's officially a cross-generational sensation, whether you like the movie or not. Part of Shrek's appeal lies in its simplicity: It takes a familiar, Disneyfied fairy-tale world and upends it with a farting ogre, a talking donkey, a butt-kicking princess, and a diminutive, treacherous villain named Lord Farquaad, voiced by John Lithgow. But there really are a lot of familiar fairy-tale beats: a quest, a dragon, a princess, a love story. If you were the kind of kid who owned Disney coloring books but also drew fart-plumes behind the princesses, Shrek was the movie you didn't know you needed.
