Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third is a 2007 American animated comedy film loosely based on the 1990 children's picture book Shrek! by William Steig and produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by Chris Miller and written by Jeffrey Price, Peter S. Seaman, Miller, and producer Aron Warner, it is the sequel to Shrek 2 (2004) and the third installment in the Shrek film series. The film features Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Rupert Everett, Julie Andrews, and John Cleese reprising their voice roles from the previous films, along with new additions Justin Timberlake as Arthur Pendragon and Eric Idle as Merlin. In the film, Prince Charming is plotting to overthrow Shrek and Fiona, who have inherited the throne following King Harold's death. Shrek has no interest in ruling the kingdom and attempts to convince Fiona's underachieving 16-year-old cousin Artie to reign instead.
