Where to start with Shrek

Release order, and the only real advice is about the spin-offs. One of them is a prequel that you should still watch in release position, and the other is not skippable at all if you plan on seeing the fifth film.

  1. 1
    Shrek (2001) Shrek

    Complete on its own, and the reason the other five exist. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Shrek 2 (2004) Shrek 2

    Generally held to be the best of them, and where Puss in Boots turns up. His introduction plays as a surprise, which is exactly what the 2011 prequel would spoil.

  3. 3
    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

    Made twelve years after the previous one and much better than anyone expected. It is chronologically the latest entry in the whole franchise, and its ending sets a course for Far Far Away.

Then what? Shrek the Third and Shrek Forever After go between the second film and The Last Wish, and the 2011 Puss in Boots is optional but is required setup for The Last Wish. Shrek 5 arrives on 30 June 2027 and a Donkey film is dated a year after that.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
