But it has been comforted today that Shrek 5 will be in theaters sometime in 2019.
It was reported earlier today by The Hollywood Reporter that Universal and DreamWorks plan to start releasing two DreamWorks Animation movies a year, every year, for the foreseeable future.
Shrek Forever After, which found Shrek trapped in an alternate timeline after a deal with Rumpelstiltskin goes sour, was promoted by DreamWorks Animation as the final film in the series.
The 2019 slate not only includes Shrek 5, but will also include the previously announced animated movie Shadows, which marks cult favorite director Edgar Wright’s first foray into the medium.
