The iconic animated movie, “Shrek”, is returning to cinemas with a fifth part, after years of fans’ requests. 

“Shrek”, telling the story of a lonely ogre who falls in love with a princess after rescuing her from a vacant castle, is engraved in the memory of many as a childhood classic.

More so, it is an adult classic because it follows a magical tale voiced by some of Hollywood’s greatest stars such as Cameron Diaz as the princess Fiona, the comedian Eddie Murphy as Shrek’s best friend, Donkey, the great Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots and finally Mike Myers as Shrek.

As reported in Variety, Chris Melandri, who serves as a creative partner to DreamWorks animation, expressed how he’s keen to see the return of the film’s original voice cast, in the franchise reboot that the production company is preparing for.

The announcement caused an overabundance of excitement online, and “Shrek 5” started trending internationally on Twitter.

In January, Eddie Murphy said “If [DreamWorks] ever came with another ‘Shrek,’ I’d do it in two seconds. I love Donkey. They did Puss in Boots movies. I was like, ‘They should have done a Donkey movie.’ Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots. I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he ain’t funny as the Donkey.”

Fans are looking forward to what’s in books for Fiona and Shrek, a couple that has evolved throughout four parts of “Shrek”, as they lived through many adventures with their friends, in-laws, and endless villains.
