Shrek (PG) Presented in 35mm
Shrek at Revival House Perth
Welcome to the swamp! DreamWorks' groundbreaking 2001 animated comedy turned fairy tales upside down and changed animation forever. Mike Myers voices the lovable green ogre Shrek, a grumpy hermit whose peaceful swamp life is disrupted when fairy tale creatures are dumped on his doorstep by the villainous Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow).
To reclaim his home, Shrek embarks on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from a dragon-guarded tower, accompanied by the hilariously talkative Donkey (Eddie Murphy in a career-defining voice performance). What starts as a simple rescue mission becomes a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and unexpected love.
This witty and subversive take on classic fairy tales won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, proving that animated films could be smart, sophisticated, and appeal to both children and adults. With its clever pop culture references, memorable soundtrack featuring Smash Mouth and Leonard Cohen, and heartfelt message about accepting yourself and others, Shrek launched a beloved franchise.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
