From left to right: Cinderella, Snow White, Fiona, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty.

Shrek the Third has Shrek and Fiona watching over their kingdom of Far, Far Away, now that King Harold is a frog prince. The new royal couple has some difficulty fitting into their robes, as well as adjusting to the etiquette and hygiene expected of monarchs. Shrek and Fiona determine that if they can find a suitable heir to the throne of Far Far Away and bring him back, they can leave their current lifestyles behind and return to their swamp. The most promising candidate for this position is Fiona's younger cousin, Arthur (Artie), who proves to be much more of a problem than Shrek, Donkey, and Puss had bargained for.

Meanwhile, Fiona recruits four of her closest friends, that is, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Cinderella to hold off a coup d'etat led by Prince Charming, who is accompanied by Captain Hook, Cyclops, Rumpelstiltskin, Mabel, an Ugly Stepsister, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Shrek the Third will be the first Mike Myers film to be released by Paramount Pictures since 1993's Wayne's World 2. On the 2004 show, Father of the Pride, Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) was featured, solely to promote that Shrek 3 was to be released in Winter 2006.

Five actors from NBC's Saturday Night Live appear in the movie, two of whom are currently on the show; Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph. Two members from the Monty Python troupe, John Cleese and Eric Idle, are reunited in this movie. Cleese will be reprising his role as King Harold, while Idle will provide his voice for the new character Merlin The Magician. Smash Mouth, who recorded a version of "I'm a Believer" for the original movie, recorded a special version of Artie's Dance.

On March 6, 2005, it was announced that Shrek 4 is being written by Tim Sullivan, (A Handful of Dust), and may be released in 2010. At this point it was stated that Shrek and Shrek-2 had earned $1.4 billion worldwide.^[1]
