Confronted by a group of fairytale creatures banished from their homeland, a green ogre sets out to make things right again. On his travels, he begrudgingly gains a wise-cracking sidekick, Donkey, who insists on tagging along to show him the way to the kingdom of Duloc. On arrival, he is tasked by the power-hungry Lord Farquaad to rescue the entrapped Princess Fiona in return for the deeds to his beloved swamp. In saving the princess, he finds something appealing about her - something unusual and different. Do they have more in common than first meets the eye?
