This leads him to a confrontation with the cynical ogre Shrek (Mike Myers), which leads in turn to Shrek making a deal with Farquaad in which our grumpy monster rescues a princess (Cameron Diaz) from a dragon.
Shrek sets off accompanied by his faithful talking donkey (Eddie Murphy) -- well, maybe not exactly his because Shrek can't stand the noisy obnoxious thing and thinks it's a pain to have around.
This is necessarily the case, since the producers would get burned at the stake by parents if it didn't, but it would be a lot more entertaining if it maintained an honest, screwball cynicism to the end.

Based very loosely on a 1990 children's story, "Shrek" follows several momentous days in the life of the title character, a rotund green ogre voiced by Mike Myers in that pleasant Scottish accent he is so fond of using.
Shrek is a grumpy fellow living a solitary life deep in the swamp, until a local nobleman disturbs his peace.
Farquaad selects the lovely Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and offers Shrek a deal: If the ogre snatches Fiona from the dragon-protected, lava moat-filled castle in which she is held captive and brings her to the throne, the lord will allow the fairy tale pests to move back on his grounds.
