The world just received the first good news of 2025: SHREK 5 is coming to town. The fifth installment of the blockbuster series will hit the theaters on Christmas 2026, and everyone is excited. Every 90s kid just got hit with nostalgia and is currently finding the fastest routes to Far Far Away.
The new SHREK 5 trailer dropped, and it was enough to grab everyone's attention, but DreamWorks didn't get its name for nothing. They decided to add a new detail. Do you remember Shrek and Fiona's baby girl, Felicia? Well, she's all grown up now. And guess who's going to voice her? The multi-talented actress-singer, every parent's nightmare child, and every superhero's dream girlfriend, Zendaya.
Shrek 4 was released back in 2010, which means Felicia is a 15-year-old teenager and her look screams it out loud. With a top knot, flowy bangs, and a nosepin, Felicia is the epitome of a Gen Z teenager.
Fan reaction to the new SHREK 5 trailer
Fans were quick to react to this new trailer, showing enthusiasm and excitement, but on the other hand, they had some apprehensions, too. With the latest advancements in animation, you would expect that the new movies would be better, but that has not been the case with SHREK 5.
The makers got many things wrong, from Felicia's eye color changing from blue to brown to Fergus and Farkle being nowhere in the trailer. SHREK 5 teams have a lot of explaining to do.
The team thought they could get away with it, but they were dead wrong. Avid fans can catch the minutest of details. They might not remember their child's birthday, but they remember a baby's eye color from fifteen years ago. Here are some of the epic reactions from Shrek fans that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
