Plot: "Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss."

(laughing) A green hand rips the page out of the book. "Like that's ever going to happen." Cut to an outhouse exterior. The toilet flushes. "What a load of..." The door slams open, revealing the man, a green ogre. He sees his house, built into the bottom of a large tree stump, and breathes a happy sigh. He undresses and takes a (mud) shower outside. He brushes his teeth (using a caterpillar's guts as toothpaste). The mirror cracks when he smiles (like the Munsters). He jumps into a pond and farts. Some dead fish float up, and he grabs one. After he gets dressed, he gets a giant slug out of a hollow log. Finally, he paints a BEWARE OGRE sign and posts it.

Men burst out of a tavern in the town and plan to capture the ogre for a reward. They grab pitchforks and torches and head for his place. The ogre is eating a bowl of eyeballs. He burps to light his fireplace, and then relaxes in his easy chair. The men finally arrive at the ogre's house at night. The ogre hears them, and sneaks up behind them. He lets a roar and they all flee in fear. The ogre sees a poster on the ground and picks it up: WANTED FAIRY CREATURES REWARD. He tosses it back on the ground and walks away.

In the forest, various fairy creatures are being loaded into wagons for the rewards: The Seven Dwarfs, witches, Pinocchio, The Three Bears, Tinker Bell, etc. A talking donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) is next in line after Pinocchio. The Captain of the Guards (voiced by Jim Cummings) gives Gepetto (voiced by Chris Miller) five shillings for the "possessed toy". The donkey's owner can't get him to talk when asked by the knights, so they drag her away. As she struggles with the knights, she kicks the lantern holding Tinker Bell, and it flies into the air, landing on the donkey and spilling pixie dust on him. He floats into the air. The donkey talks now as he floats away, saying, "Now I'm a flying, talking donkey," (copying the crows in Dumbo). The pixie dust wears off, and the donkey falls to the ground. The knights try to seize him, but he runs into the forest. The donkey bumps into the back of the ogre, who was posting a KEEP OUT poster on a tree. When the knights approach, the donkey hides behind the ogre. The Captain of the Guards (voiced by Jim Cummings) announces that Lord Farquaad authorized him to arrest them and transport them to a designated resettlement facility. The ogre says, "Oh, really. You and what army?" The knight looks back and sees that the other knights have run away, so he too runs away, yelling in fear. As the ogre walks away the donkey follows him and compliments the ogre on how great he was with the guards. The donkey says he doesn't have any friends and asks to stay with the ogre, who then tries to scare him away. The donkey just gives him a compliment on how scary that was and sings. The ogre tells the donkey that he is an ogre, but the donkey doesn't care. The donkey asks for the ogre's name, and the ogre replies, "Shrek." Shrek lets the donkey stay at his house for one night (outside).
