SHREK - Final Chapter

Flash Back:
Before Princess Fiona was rescued by Shrek, her parents were up to make a contract with a magic deal-maker Rumpelstiltskin. The sole purpose of this contract is to break Fiona’s curse. In return, Rumpelstiltskin demanded that he should be named as the successive King of Far, Far Away. But before the king signs the contract, he hears a word from one of his troops-men that Fiona has been rescued. Bitter pill for Rumpelstiltskin.

Now, back to story:
Shrek is now a local celebrity and his family & friends, as well as he himself feels that he isn’t a “real ogre” anymore. Shrek craves to be a real ogre, atleast for a day. Now, Rumpelstiltskin meets Shrek and offers him a day to live like a real ogre, in exchange of a day from Shrek’s childhood. Shrek agrees and signs the contract. Shrek enjoys his day haunting the villagers, but soon a group of witches capture and takes him to Rumpelstiltskin, the king of Far, Far Away. Rumpelstiltskin took away the day on which Shrek was born. As a result, Rumpelstiltskin is the king, an army of witches are his henchmen and ogres are treated as slaves. Now Shrek is an unknown ogre to his love(Fiona) and friends(Donkey, Puss). Shrek escapes from Rumpelstiltskin and rescues Donkey, who was working there as a pack mule. Donkey wonders why an ogre rescues him. Initially donkey feared Shrek, but eventually becomes friendly. Shrek comes to know that the agreement will be made void if he could make up with his true love’s kiss before 24 hours. Oh poor ogre has to find his lady love now. If there is a will, definitely there is a way. On their way they find a secret community of warrior ogres led by Fiona. Shrek also finds Puss in Boots, along with Fiona. Meantime Rumpelstiltskin hired the Pied Piper, who with his magical flute entrances the army of ogres to dance themselves all the way to the castle. Puss and Donkey are able to save Fiona and Shrek from the Pied Piper. By this time, Shrek has partially won Fiona’s heart, and lets her know about his agreement and their kiss will be the quick fix for this problem. Fiona kisses Shrek. But their kiss doesn’t fix the spell, as Fiona was not truly in love with Shrek. Fiona leaves to save her ogre friends. Rumpelstiltskin announces to the kingdom that whoever brings him Shrek will get whatever they want. Shrek turns himself in and in return Rumpelstiltskin frees the ogre army. Shrek is imprisoned along with Fiona. Fiona is deeply moved by Shrek's self-sacrifice. However Puss, Donkey and the ogres arrive and battle Rumpelstiltskin’s forces. Shrek, Fiona & their troop defeats Rumpelstiltskin. But Shrek's 24 hour Aeon is going to end. He is now fading out in thin air. Just before he is totally invisible, Fiona kisses Shrek, truly, wholeheartedly in love with him. This breaks Rumpelstiltskin’s contract. The true timeline is restored with Shrek roaring in his frustration back at the birthday party. Shrek is now back with his lovely wife, babies, friends, and ogre army. It is now party time in swamp, where all the characters are present enjoying their frolic celebrations :) Happy ending :D

P.S
As a whole, story was cool. But it was not so thrilling and magnificent like the first three parts. It was an accustomed 3D effects. But still I enjoyed it thoroughly:)
Most touching part of the story is, before Shrek fades out in thin air, he lets Fiona know about their Love life, three babies (Jak, Harold and cute Felicia) and he hands over a small toy for Felicia to Fiona. I was really melted down seeing this particular scene. Hats-off Dreamworks team, for depicting love and emotions in such a beautiful manner.

P.S.S
Have collected 5 of the Shrek toys - Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss, Shrek with Felicia.
I love the fifth toy (Shrek with Kutty Felicia). Shrek toy says "My Little Women" when I tried pulling out the baby from his hands. It is really stupefying :)
