That'll do donkay indeed! And watch out for the Gingerbread Man...
DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures have just released a teaser trailer for Shrek 5, the “magical new comedy adventure” from one of the most popular global animated franchises of all time. And we’re happy to say, Gingy is back… along with an ever-frantic Donkey sporting the most mellifluous of singing voices…
Comedy legends Mike Myers, Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz return to their signature roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona. Emmy winner Zendaya (The Odyssey, Dune franchise) joins the cast as Shrek and Fiona’s daughter Felicia, along with Marcello Hernandez (Saturday Night Live, Happy Gilmore 2) and Skyler Gisondo (Superman, Booksmart) as Felicia’s brothers, Fergus and Farkle.
Longtime DreamWorks Animation collaborator and animation veteran Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, The Addams Family animated film franchise) returns to direct alongside Walt Dohrn (Trolls Band Together, Trolls World Tour). Vernon was a member of the directing team on the Academy Award nominated Shrek 2 as well as on Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and Monsters vs. Aliens. Vernon has also provided the voice of Shrek fan-favorite Gingerbread Man, aka “Gingy,” across all titles in the Shrek Universe. Dohrn worked on the second and third Shrek films as a writer and artist and as Head of Story on the fourth film. Dohrn also voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After. Dohrn served as co-director on the first Trolls film and directed Trolls World Tour and Trolls Band Together.
Gina Shay (Trolls franchise, Shrek Forever After) and Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri (the Super Mario, Despicable Me and Minions franchises) produce. Brad Ableson (Minions: The Rise of Gru, The Simpsons) will co-direct.
Shrek 5 hits theaters June 30, 2027.
