Shrek the Third is a
2007 animated film, and the third film in the
Shrek series, following
Shrek and
Shrek 2. It was produced by
Jeffrey Katzenberg for
DreamWorks Animation, and is distributed by
Paramount Pictures, and was released in U.S. theaters on May 18, 2007 (exactly 6 years after the first Shrek).
It was produced with the working title of
Shrek 3, the name being changed to avoid potential confusion with
Shrek 3-D. Like the first two
Shrek films, the movie is significantly based on
fairy tale themes. The film was rated
PG by the
MPAA for some
crude humor, suggestive content and swashbuckling action. It was nominated for Best Animated Movie at the
Kids' Choice Awards 2008.
