Shrek and Donkey are back in the first official teaser trailer for ‘Shrek 5’.<\/p>\n
The clip shows Donkey absolutely buzzing after finding out he and Shrek are teaming up again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really happening,\u201d he says. \u201cDo you know what that means? I need a makeover – get my arms YOKED, my back JACKED\u2026 maybe even tighten up my badonkadonk.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hype builds as Donkey adds: \u201cShrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends off on another whirlwind, big-city adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n
A personal favourite moment is the return of the Gingerbread Man. After two gingerbread ladies smack the gumdrops on his backside, he declares: \u201cI\u2019m caked up like a freaking bakery.\u201d<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s one thing we can rely on from a ‘Shrek’ film, it\u2019s good one-liners – and by the looks of it, this one is going to have some goodies.<\/p>\n
The trailer ends with Shrek and Donkey somehow winding up in jail, which is less than ideal for Shrek – once again stuck with a singing Donkey. <\/p>\n
But we do also get a passionate Donkey cover of ‘Roxanne’ by The Police… so not all is bad.<\/p>\n
Mike Myers is back as everyone\u2019s favourite grumpy ogre, with Eddie Murphy returning as Donkey and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona.<\/p>\n
Joining them is Zendaya, who\u2019s set to voice Shrek and Fiona\u2019s daughter, Felicia. She\u2019s joined by Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez and Skyler Gisondo, who play her brothers Fergus and Farkle.<\/p>\n
The fifth instalment of the film already gained plenty of hype when the first images were revealed early last year – but some OG fans were NOT stoked with the animation.<\/p>\n
Many voiced their frustration, with one fan writing: \u201cAs a longtime fan who has made many Shrek art pieces in her life, I beg you to bring back the old design.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m begging you to fix the animation,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n
Comparing the original Shrek to his new design, fans pointed out that his face appears rounder, with more pronounced wrinkles, bolder eyebrows, and a murkier green colour.<\/p>\n
Maybe that\u2019s why the comments have been turned off on the latest trailer release?!<\/p>\n
Either way, we\u2019re stoked to see the crew back together on the big screen!<\/p>\n
