One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.

Tired of sitting through yet another boring performance put on by a pompous narrator and his untalented group of actors, the stagehand wants to bring in a truly talented actress to play Little Red, the leader
of a motorcycle gang called the Riding Hoods! Of course, the haughty narrator refuses to let the “lowly” stagehand have his way, so the stagehand must think of creative ways to coax him offstage so that
the jazzed-up show can go on! The Fairy Godbrothers are called in to straighten out the mess and leave us with a happy ending...or not.
