The son of a bitch had done it again.

Shrek 2 may have lost the Best Animated Feature Oscar to The Incredibles, but the film was another massive success both with critics and at the worldwide box office. DreamWorks co-founder Jeffery Katzenberg had come a long way since his Disney banishment less than a decade ago.

In the wake of Shrek 2’s victory lap, Katzenberg announced that the karaoke dance party was far from over. No less than three Shrek sequels were now in the works, with the fifth film promising to reveal the burning mystery of how Shrek ended up in his beloved swamp. But first, DreamWorks Animation had to try and top themselves yet again with the first of these new chapters, 2007’s SHREK THE THIRD.

Many Shrekheads consider this third chapter to be the weakest in the entire franchise. Will Scott and Nick find anything to love? Find out in an uproarious episode of FRANCHISOGRAPHY
