FILM fans are going green one final time this weekend as the fourth installment in the highly successful Shrek franchise hits screens across the UK.

“After rescuing a princess, getting hitched and fathering triplets, Shrek is feeling over domesticated. He has lost his roar,” says Mike Mitchell, the director of Shrek Forever After.

“It used to send villagers running away in terror. Now they run to him and ask him to sign their pitchforks and torches.

“To regain his ogre mojo, he strikes a deal with Rumplestiltskin, the wee troublemaker who popped up briefly in Shrek 2 and 3. Of course, the pact goes awry and Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed. That translates into Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumplestiltskin ruling the kingdom.”

The film is being billed as the Brothers Grimm meets It’s A Wonderful Life.
