Everybody’s favorite ogre is heading back to the swamp! Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Shrek with a newly remastered 4K Ultra HD release and Limited Edition Steelbook.
The animated classic gets a fresh makeover with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, promising an enhanced picture and sound experience. There’s also plenty of new material for longtime fans, including 30 minutes of brand-new bonus content exploring the making of the groundbreaking film.
Featuring the unforgettable voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow, Shrek follows everyone’s favorite green ogre on a mission to rescue Princess Fiona, reclaim his beloved swamp, and deal with one particularly loudmouthed Donkey along the way.
