Trailer for Shrek Forever After
The first trailer for Shrek Forever After arrived today. The movie is the fourth in the massive franchise and while this is supposedly the last Shrek there are spin-offs planned.

Of course that ends up going awry leaving him to see Far Far Away as it would be if he had never existed. Shrek Forever After is slated to release on May 21st 2010. ...
