This page is based on the second Shrek webpage, which I made as a joke with one of my best friends as a thirteen-year-old. It is almost a carbon copy of the original, bar some minor changes that were made before uploading it to shrekdotorg. This is the final version. Some elements may have been edited to look better on this site.

shrek!

shrek is a 2001 movie made by dreamworks. it subsequently became a hit new religion and now we worship and love shrek !

who is shrek?

shrek is the titular character from dreamworks' 2001 hit movie shrek. he is a very closed-off and emo character at the start of the movie but then he gets a friend and also a wife and he turns compassionate. he lives in a bog and has bad hygeine and is green and eats weird things but it's okay because he's a god so it doesnt matter.
he got lots more movies including:

shrek 2 (2004)
shrek the third (2007)
shrek forever after (2010)
shrek 5 (release date to be confirmed)

why did he gain so much popularity and become a cult leader?

he gained lots of popularity because we all saw that he is an icon. he never became a cult leader, he actually became a god. he formally ascended to this status quite recently but we all knew he was a god in all but name long before this so we have worshipped him since he first appeared on our screens. here is a shrek quote to prove how good he is: OGRES ARE LIKE ONIONS. this proves that he is really wise and knows a lot about the world around him. he is very in tune with himself and so we all strive for that shrek-like inner peace.

what happens in shrek?

the shrek saga is a very interesting series of movies tackling topics such as body image, rejection, forgiveness, and gingers. the first movie begins with shrek sitting on a toilet reading a story book which is a fairytale but then he says what a load of sh-. he meant to say shit but the movie is a pg so they couldn't let him do that which is pretty sad. then he comes out of the toilet and the song all star by smash mouth starts to play. it is a very good song to start on and has since become the shrek anthem so now whenever all star plays everyone thinks of shrek which is so cool. then we see shrek's bad hygeine habits and his swamp and his house. when that montage ends we cut to the nearby town thing where the authorities are collecting fairytale creatures and a woman claims to have a talking donkey but then the donkey won't talk so they don't believe her. then the donkey accidentally becomes magic and starts flying and then it turns out he can talk because he says now i'm a talking, flying donkey! but then the magic goes away and he falls to the ground and starts screaming and running into the forest next door. he gets to the centre of the forest and sees shrek and he gets the protection of shrek (when the authorities try to capture shrek he scares them away because hes a #girlboss) and then donkey annoys shrek a lot. then all the fairytale creatures invade because lord farquaad is evil. i can't be bothered to type out everything that happens because im so bored but basically shrek and donkey go on a mission for lord ~~fuckwad~~ farquaad to get princess fiona who is locked up in a castle but he wants to marry her. then shrek does some sick wrestling and then they go on a journey and shrek peer pressures donkey to go over this really dodgy bridge and then donkey falls in love with a dragon and shrek rescues fiona and fiona body-shames shrek and they journey home and fiona makes a bird explodes and then it's night and oh shit fiona's an ogre too! but only at night ig what a plot twist right? and then shrek hears fiona talking about herself to donkey because she has low self-esteem but shrek thinks shes describing him because he doesn't know shes an ogre sometimes (shrek and fiona are in love btw but they dont know) and shrek is so angry (which is understandable) and then fiona emerges and shrek is all fiona i hate you and fionas like okay i hate you too and then she goes to marry fuckwad and then shrek crashes the wedding oh no! and then shrek and fiona get married there and then but then when they kiss fiona has this mad transformation scene and now shes permanently green and also an ogre which is cool and then also at the end dragon and donkey are together and they all sing and its so happy and fun the end.
icba to describe the rest of the movies but you get the idea
