Shrek Forever After (also known as Shrek: The Final Chapter through promotional material) is the fourth and final installment of the Shrek tetralogy released in 2010 under DreamWorks Animation.The story follows Shrek, married and now the father of three ogre children, who finds himself in a rut, longing for the days when he was a "real ogre". It just so happens that after angrily storming out of his own children's birthday party he gets just the opportunity he was looking for from the smooth-talking Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn). After he agrees to trade off one day from his childhood that he doesn't even remember in exchange for one day of romping and terrorizing in an alternate timeline supposedly free of consequence, Shrek realizes that Rumpelstiltskin took away the day that he was born. Now in order to restore things to the way they were, Shrek must team up with the alternate versions of his friends in order to share true love's kiss with his wife Fiona, who has become the leader of an ogre resistance against Rumpelstiltskin, who, as it turns out, was almost granted control over Far Far Away before Shrek rescued Fiona from her castle all those years ago.Followed by Puss in Boots (2011) in production order, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in timeline order.Not to be confused with Shrek 4D, a theme park attraction set after the events of the first film.

Darker and Edgier
 Shrek Forever After / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The first chapter was more Ruder and Cruder, while the second chapter and The Third were Lighter and Softer. With Forever After, its premise has Shrek painfully aware of just how much Lighter and Softer things have gotten, and winding up in a world where he'd never existed and Far Far Away had been run by an Ax-Crazy antagonist. Also, the alternate timeline downplays a lot of the Purely Aesthetic Era the previous movies liberally used, bringing it much closer to a straight Dark Fantasy with some comedy.

True Love's Kiss
 Shrek Forever After / int_1777836c
comment
All of Rumpelstiltskin's contracts have one of these, but he's smart enough to hide it by making it so that you have to fold the contract a certain way in order to read it. In Shrek's case, it's a True Love's Kiss.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Shrek Forever After / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: A commercial on TV (TV spot) makes it look like Donkey tries showing a trick where he shuts his eyes tight and they pop out through his nostrils. He is actually at an ogre dinner, where they eat plates of eyeballs like fruit, and the trick he does actually doesn't involve his own eyes! Additionally, Army Navy's cover of "Right Back Where We Started From" doesn't actually appear in the movie (though the original version by Maxine Nightingale does play over the credits), and what is suggested to be a Disney Acid Sequence actually has an explanation. In one trailer "All By Myself" plays in the background while Puss is making cute eyes. While it was meant to be clear that this was added for the trailer, the song is used in other movies when a character is feeling sad, making it seem like it would be part of the movie. The first TV spots that showed in the UK almost made it seem that the fat kid at the party (named Butterpants) was a sort of main character, and also had the roar scene from the party shortened down to: There was a hint somewhere that Brogan would be Shrek's rival for Fiona's love, but that never happens. It's mentioned in one of the DVD features that he was originally going to be called Gnimrahc and was indeed planned to be a love interest for Fiona, but the idea was scrapped.

I Surrender, Suckers: Shrek turns himself in to Rumpel in order to get the loophole-free wish that had been offered. He anticipated that he can't use it to break the Ogre For a Day contract, so he had a different wish in mind: setting the captured ogres free.

Kryptonite Factor: The exit clause is hidden inside the contract, revealed not in the small print — which at least some people would be smart enough to read, but by refolding the paper to reveal the hidden words (knowing Rumpelstiltskin's name as per the legend isn't enough, as everyone knows Rumpelstiltskin, so he had to get clever).

comment
Unknown Rival: As a result of Shrek's actions in the first movie, Rumpelstiltskin lost out on his biggest deal ever (the chance to take over Far Far Away). Everything since then went progressively worse for him, leaving him leaving in squalor and unable to make any kind of deal with anyone. He blames Shrek for his misfortunes and can barely mask his anger towards him when they first make a deal, but Shrek is oblivious. It naturally gets very personal on Shrek's end, as the movie progresses.

Loved by All: Deconstructed. After all of his heroic deeds in previous films, everyone has grown to love Shrek, not just his family and friends, but also people from all over the land who come to visit him in is swamp. Having to be the center of everyone's attention plus having to play many different roles from a father to a friend to a celebrity takes its toll on Shrek, as he now is denied any time he can have to himself. It makes him long for the perception he had at the start of the first movie, a fearsome hermit, which triggers his Nostalgia Filter. Rumpelstiltskin takes advantage of this, and tricks him into signing a deal that turns Far Far Away into a wasteland ruled by Rumpel.

Out-Gambitted: At the climax of the movie, Shrek uses the loophole of turning himself in to Rumpelstiltskin to get a free wish, which he uses to make Rumpel free all ogres, especially Fiona. But while it worked for every other ogre, Rumpelstiltskin presents his own loophole on why he won't set Fiona free, because her curse doesn't make her "all ogre".

Actor Allusion: Donkey very poorly sings the final line of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All", a reference to Eddie Murphy's role as the incredibly untalented Randy Watson in Coming to America. The Pied Piper shows off his abilities by playing the riff to "Sure Shot" and making the witches break out in dance. Jeremy Steig, who performs the Pied Piper's fluting in the movie, is the artist behind the song that "Sure Shot's" main riff is sampled from. Coincidentally, he's also the son of William Steig, the author behind the original Shrek book.

Bad Boss: Rumpelstiltskin. He seems like a good one at first, letting his witches having a rave in his castle and all that. After Shrek escapes however, he drops all the niceness and starts threatening their lives, never mind that he was the one that pushed Shrek too far. Specifically: the scene where he summons a council of witches where he first starts out as a loving patron, scolds them about letting Shrek escape and finally snaps into rage, killing one of them on screen by pouring water onto her. We all know what water does to witches... That just doesn't mark him evil, but insane Ax-Crazy.

Annoyingly Repetitive Child: When Shrek is feeling bored and like every day is the same, one of the things he's frustrated with is his baby daughter Felicia squeaking a squeaky doll.

Book Ends: The first film and this film have the song "I'm a Believer" at the end. The first film began with Shrek opening a storybook at the beginning, and this film has Shrek closing the book and putting it away on a shelf, as he's reached the end of his story.

Fake Better Alternate Timeline

Fake Better Alternate Timeline: When Shrek wants to be feared again, Rumpelstiltskin puts him into another timeline. He gets to be feared again, which he likes, but then it turns out that in this timeline, he was never born and will subsequently cease to exist when the day is over. This means that his kids (naturally) don't exist, Rumpelstiltskin became king after killing Fiona's parents, Puss has become a pampered Fat Slob, and Fiona becomes a warlike leader of a rebel group of ogres.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Inside Shrek's drawer, Fiona's handkerchief can briefly be seen before Shrek's hand comes into frame, obscuring it because of his search for his "Wanted" poster. During Shrek's and Fiona's argument at their triplets' birthday party, one can see that there is a sign of the Poison Apple behind them, having been taken down. It really speaks lengths towards the amount of fairytale villains deciding to change their ways after Artie's speech in Shrek the Third, putting this Bad Guy Bar out of business.

Bullying a Dragon: A heroic example. When Shrek is captured by the witches and brought before him, Rumpelstiltskin proceeds to gloat about how he was conned—culminating in telling him his kids no longer exist and laughing about it. All Rumpelstiltskin accomplishes, though, is enraging Shrek to the point that he breaks free and escapes.

Car Radio Dispute: Cars with radios of course don't exist in the world of Shrek, but it manages to use this trope anyway: in the alternate timeline created by Rumpelstiltskin, Donkey never met Shrek and is instead forced to work for two witches, pulling their wagon while also entertaining them with a song. The witch riding shotgun doesn't like the song and whips Donkey to make him sing something else, but then the witch holding the reins claims she gets to pick the music as she is driving, and whips Donkey again to make him switch to another song.

Continuity Nod: There are plenty made towards the first film. As Shrek finally gets to live out his glory days as an ogre, he tells some townspeople, "This is the part where you run away!", referencing him saying the same things to a group of rioters in the first movie's beginning. When Shrek and Donkey are rushing to the dragon's keep to find Fiona, part of the wooden bridge breaks off when Donkey steps on it in a similar way to when it happened in the first movie. Donkey's shocked expression is exactly the same, too. One of Shrek's attempts to woo the alternate Fiona is through inflating a live frog into a balloon, which is exactly what he did when Fiona was a human. Near the end of the storybook, the supporting villains from Shrek the Thirdnote One of the sentient trees, two witches, a dwarf (which might be that movie's Rumpelstiltskin), the cyclops, Captain Hook, and an executioner are seen in the page of Far Far Away finally at peace, in reference to the final scene where the villains had turned a corner from Arthur Pendragon's speech.

Oh, Crap!: After enjoying his time as a scary ogre again, Shrek has a moment when he sees a wanted poster with Fiona's face on it, surrounded by more identical posters with weapons lodged into them. Donkey can only utter a scared "uh-oh" after his attempt at wooing Dragon fails, right before he gets eaten. Fortunately, Puss promptly makes her spit him out.

Actually a Good Idea: Rumpelstiltskin is absolutely terrible to his witch underlings, using their vulnerability to water as a reason why they had better come up with a good plan. After a couple others make bad suggestions, one witch prposes hiring a Bounty Hunter, which prompts Rumpel to throw water in her face. Then he flippantly remarks that's actually an idea worth pursuing.

What You Are in the Dark
 Shrek Forever After / int_afc6df04
comment
What You Are in the Dark: Shrek experiences this in the third act. After True Love's Kiss has failed and Fiona has fully rejected him, he turns himself in to Rumplestiltskin in exchange for a wish. This entire Alternate Universe only exists because of his selfishness, and he has the option to wish himself right out of the whole mess with a single signature. No one would ever know what he had done except him and Rumpelstiltskin. But instead of wishing for his own freedom, he wishes for the freedom of all the other ogres, giving up his chance at staying with Fiona for her sake and the sake of her cause despite knowing he's going to die at the end of the day if he doesn't.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Pretty much the theme of the movie, Shrek pines for the days before he was married and was feared by humans. When he finally gets it, he does enjoy it for a bit until he realizes the consequences of his wish and how important he truly was in the grand scheme of his world.

Loophole Abuse
 Shrek Forever After / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: Rumpelstiltskin's specialty; his contract with Shrek is to trade a day from his life he won't remember - a day when he was a baby, for instance - in exchange for a consequence free day in an alternate timeline where he will be feared again so he can have fun terrorizing people and afterwards everything will go back to normal. The day in question turns out to be the day Shrek was born, and the alternate timeline is one where Shrek was never born; so instead of reverting back to the original timeline when the day ends, the timeline where Shrek was never born will become the real timeline and Shrek will cease to exist instead. In the opening it is revealed that in desperation, the king and queen had turned to Rumpelstiltskin to save Fiona from her curse. His deal to "make all their problems go away" in exchange for the crown to Far Far Away is interrupted by Shrek's actions in the first film. In the Shrek-less timeline they agree to the deal and Rumpelstiltskin makes their problems disappear by making them disappear. Both Shrek and Rumpelstiltskin pull this near the end of the film. Rumpelstiltskin places a bounty on Shrek, offering a wish to the one who brings him Shrek. Shrek decides to turn himself in, with the wish being for Rumpelstiltskin to free all ogres. Rumpelstiltskin agrees, but reveals that Fiona isn't freed due to the fact that, due to her only being an ogre during the night time, she isn't "all ogre".

Grass is Greener: Shrek has grown tired of being a family man and celebrity among the local villagers, and longs for the days where he was a "real ogre", feared by villagers and actually had privacy. He gets his wish, and soon begins to understand the consequences of his actions and how important he was to the grand scheme of things; among other things, his children no longer exist, and Fiona's parents have been erased from existence. Best summed up in this exchange between himself and Donkey near the climax:

Celebrity Is Overrated: Seen as a local hero and role model, Shrek finds himself constantly pestered by tour groups and villagers, to the extent he actually wishes humans were still afraid of him so he could have peace. He gets his wish thanks to Rumpelstiltskin, but soon realizes what exactly he gave up and comes out of the misadventure with newfound appreciation for his life.

The two were about to make a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to "make all their problems go away" in exchange for the crown, but then a messenger announced at the last moment that their daughter had been rescued. In the alternate timeline, the deal goes through, and Harold and Lillian disappear.

Weaksauce Weakness: The witches dissolve in water. Oddly, the ogre resistance never takes advantage of this; it's just used by Rumpelstiltskin in a You Have Failed Me moment. Though it is possible that the ogres aren't aware of such weakness (plus, ogres aren't exactly fond of water either).

We Want Our Jerk Back!: The "jerk" here is the human race. The main theme of the first two movies is how badly Shrek is treated by humans. By the beginning of the fourth film, Shrek becomes annoyed at the humans treating him nicely and longs for the days when he would run about villages scaring them.

Rage Breaking Point: Overwhelmed by the chaos during his kids' first birthday party, Shrek vents his anger with a roar and storms off. Shrek is already in one foul mood when taken to Rumpelstiltskin's castle and told what his wish has truly wrought, but then Rumpel tells him that (on top of everything else) his children no longer exist. Amid all the gloating and mocking laughter, Shrek explodes and breaks free of the chains.

Series Continuity Error
 Shrek Forever After / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: The Rumpelstiltskins in The Third and Forever After are nothing alike other than being villains. It's certainly not a Species Surname either because (thanks to a huge Art Shift) they don't even look like the same species. The witches shown in this film are green skinned while in the the other films, they have regular colored skin. The Pied Piper appears briefly in a throwaway gag in the first film. Again, his Shrek incarnation looks nothing like how he does here. In Shrek 2, we can see it takes days to go from Shrek's swamp to Far Far Away. However, in Forever After, Shrek travels the same distance three times within less than a day.

Temporal Abortion: Shrek makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to give him 24 hours to be a proper ogre again in exchange for 1 previous day of his life. Unfortunately, this was a scam because Rumpel actually despises Shrek. The day he took was the day Shrek was born, meaning he doesn't exist anymore, leading to a Butterfly Effect that makes Rumpel the supreme dictator over Far Far Away.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Shrek Forever After / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: After everything Shrek went through (making a deal with Rumpelstiltskin, realizing he lost his love, family and life), he learned to appreciate the life he has, earned back Fiona's love, and got his life back.

Empathy Doll Shot

comment
Empathy Doll Shot: A variant occurs, where Shrek finds his daughter's favorite doll apparently having fallen from one of his pockets. It has the same "Isolated doll" factor if the circumstances aren't identical to the norm.

Running Gag
 Shrek Forever After / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Perhaps it's a coincidence, but Rumpelstiltskin marks the third Shrek villain who is vertically challenged. This carries into Puss in Boots with Humpty Dumpty.

Trrrilling Rrrs: Rumplestiltskin does this a few times, mainly during his message to Far Far Away regarding a bounty being placed on Shrek.

comment
Brick Joke: Shrek says he's not going to eat Rumpelstiltskin because he "already had curly-toed weirdo for breakfast." When Rumpel is finally caught, the ogres say exactly what they're having for breakfast.
