This is where the story begins in Shrek Forever After, the fourth and final installment of the green-ogre franchise. The story throws Shrek into an alternate reality in which he was never born, and thus has no friends or family, and no source of happiness. To add to his woes, he only has one day to earn Fiona`s true love as well as save the land and all who dwell in it.

《怪物史萊克4》的故事就這樣展開了，該片也是綠怪物史萊克系列動畫的最終回。片中，史萊克陷入了另外一個世界中，在那里他從沒存在過，沒有朋友和家人，更無幸福可言。更糟糕的是，他只有一天的時間來爭取菲奧娜的真愛、拯救那片土地和那里的人們。

When Shrek premiered in 2001, no one predicted that it would go on to become the global phenomenon it is today. After all, Shrek is not a cute talking animal but a big, ugly green giant, making him almost a Disney anti-hero. Despite this, what makes the story of the giant green monster touch audiences is its special type of humor, which mainly references pop culture and popular fairytales.

2001年史萊克初登銀幕，沒人想到他今天會成為一種全球現象。畢竟，史萊克并非長相可愛、會講話的動物，而是身形巨大、長相丑陋的綠巨人。這個形象儼然成了迪士尼的非正統派主角。然而，盡管如此，影片獨樹一幟的幽默感仍讓綠怪物深入人心。而這獨特的幽默感主要來自流行文化和通俗童話。
