With just over a year before the film officially arrives in theaters, DreamWorks and Universal Pictures have finally revealed the first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Shrek 5. Set to debut in the summer of 2027, Shrek 5 previously made headlines with its updated animation style and new character designs (which some fans weren’t thrilled by). Now, though, the first look at the sequel has not only confirmed those designs have stuck around, but that the series still has the sick sense of humor that fans have come to expect. Check out the first trailer below.
It’s worth noting that one of the first images seen in the Shrek 5 teaser is one that hardcore fans should recognize, with a storybook that is clearly reminiscent of William Steig’s children’s book Shrek! that inspired the entire series (though the similarities are pretty stark). From there, Shrek 5‘s first teaser shows that the series has spent the time since the last movie allowing the fantasy and fairy tale genres to become cultural landmarks once again, as one of the gags in the city of Further, Further Away has an Olaf-adjacent snowman ask in a gravely voice, “Wanna date a snowman?” clearly ribbing Disney’s Frozen.
This is a developing story, it will be updated.
