Shrek and Donkey

Donkey first appears in the 2001 film "Shrek" at a sale of fairy tale characters. He can talk, which makes him special, and he's being sold to Lord Farquaad's knights. After escaping, Donkey meets Shrek and asks to stay with him because he has nowhere else to go. Shrek agrees but makes him sleep outside. Donkey helps Shrek on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona, facing dangers like a fire-breathing dragon, who later becomes his wife. Donkey's funny and loyal nature makes him a beloved character.

In "Shrek 2," Donkey joins Shrek and Fiona to meet Fiona’s parents and temporarily turns into a white stallion after drinking a potion. He helps Shrek rescue Fiona from the Fairy Godmother. In "Shrek the Third," Donkey is a father and helps Shrek find a new king. In "Shrek Forever After," he helps Shrek fix an alternate reality created by Rumplestiltskin. Throughout the series, Donkey is known for his humor, loyalty, and love for his friends.

Shrek 5

The untitled fifth Shrek film is an upcoming American animated fantasy comedy based on the 1990 book "Shrek!" by William Steig. It is produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. This movie is a sequel to "Shrek Forever After" (2010) and the fifth main movie in the Shrek series.

The screenplay is written by Michael McCullers from a story by Chris Meledandri, who is also a producer. Eddie Murphy will return as the voice of Donkey. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas are in talks to return as Shrek, Princess Fiona, and Puss in Boots.

A fifth Shrek film was first planned after "Shrek 2" (2004) due to its success. However, the idea was dropped when DreamWorks decided to end the series with the fourth movie. In 2016, after NBCUniversal bought DreamWorks Animation, plans for a fifth film were revived. The movie is set to be released in 2025.
