Shrek the Third (called Shrek 3 in post-production, not to be confused with Shrek 4-D) is a film planned for release on May 18, 2007. It will be the second sequel to Shrek. It is being produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg for DreamWorks Animation, and will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Shrek the Third has Shrek and Fiona watching over their kingdom of Far Far Away, now that King Harold is a frog, yet Shrek feels that he never cares about his friends. When King Harold falls ill and is dying, Shrek and Fiona determine that if they can find a suitable heir to the throne of Far Far Away and bring him back, they can leave their current lifestyles behind and must return to their swamp if they don't find a heir to the throne. The most promising candidate for the position of king is Fiona's cousin, Arthur (Artie) who proves to be much more of a problem than Shrek, Donkey, and Puss had bargained for.

While Shrek is away, Prince Charming attempts to take the throne of Far Far Away. To do that, he heads to the Poison Apple Bar and assembles a coup d'etat made up of Captain Hook, The Wicked Queen, a Cyclops, Rumpelstiltskin, and Mabel the Ugly Stepsister as well as an army of black knights, witches and walking trees. The pregnant Fiona, her mother, Queen Lillian, and Doris the Ugly Stepsister recruit four of Fiona's closest princess friends, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Cinderella to help them hold off Prince Charming's quest for the throne, with added help from Shrek's friends, Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, the three blind mice, and the Gingerbread Man.
