In the faraway land of Duloc, a heartless ruler, the midget Lord Farquaad, seeks to banish all the fairy tales from the land so it can be as boring as he is--but three characters stand in the way of his design: a green, smelly ogre with a heart of gold named Shrek; his faithful steed, a donkey, who will do anything but shut up; and the beautiful but tough Princess Fiona, whom Lord Farquaad wishes to make his wife so he can become King of Duloc.
