DreamWorks has released the first trailer for Shrek 5, confirming the return of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz as Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona.

The news promises to revive a beloved saga for family audiences.

Animation and nostalgia: the technical engine of an announced return 🎬

From a technical standpoint, the production of Shrek 5 poses a digital animation challenge. DreamWorks has updated its pipelines to combine the classic visual style with modern rendering technologies. The use of performance capture and global illumination systems will maintain the expressiveness of the original characters while integrating more detailed textures. The decision to wait until 2027 responds to a long development cycle, necessary to fine-tune the script and animation without rushing.

Donkey, a character who deserves his own OnlyFans account 🐴

Eddie Murphy returns to voice Donkey, who in Shrek 5 promises to keep talking until viewers wonder why no one has bought him a premium subscription. Hopefully, this time we won't have to listen to another musical number about his self-esteem issues. But hey, if the formula works, why change it? After all, the audience will go see Shrek for the nostalgia, not for the plot logic.
