When it comes to animated movies that have captured the hearts of both childhood and adult audiences alike, few can compare to the timeless magic of Shrek. This lovable ogre and his band of misfit friends have charmed viewers worldwide for over two decades. But just how many films are there in the Shrek franchise?

1. The Original Shrek (2001)

The story of Shrek begins with the iconic 2001 film simply titled “Shrek.” This groundbreaking movie introduced us to the world of Far Far Away, where lovable characters like Donkey, Fiona, and Lord Farquaad come to life. With its unique blend of humor, heart, and unforgettable animation, Shrek quickly became a box office hit and paved the way for future films in the franchise.

2. Shrek 2 (2004)

The success of the first Shrek movie was so immense that a sequel was undoubtedly in the cards. In 2004, “Shrek 2” hit the theaters, continuing the story of Shrek and Fiona’s unlikely love story. This time, audiences were introduced to new characters such as Puss in Boots and the Fairy Godmother. Once again, Shrek 2 was a massive success, solidifying the franchise’s place in the hearts of fans.
