This is especially important since “Shrek 4D” takes place between the events of the first and second films in the series, although those that don’t stop to look at them still get a brief recap of the original film during the attraction’s preshow as well. Inspired by the design of the book that appears in the first film’s prologue, these pages illustrate many of the key scenes from Shrek’s initial big screen adventure, including Shrek and Fiona’s wedding (as pictured above). Those not familiar with Shrek and Fiona, or just looking for a refresher on how the two met, can find the story of 2001’s “Shrek” retold on oversized storybook pages that line the outside of the “Shrek 4D” attraction at Universal Studios Florida. While she initially longed for a more traditional Prince Charming to save her, Fiona’s penchant for fighting and belching made her a better match for Shrek than the villainous Lord Farquad even before the spell she was under permanently transformed her into an ogre at the end of the first film. However, Princess Fiona from DreamWorks Amimation’s “Shrek” movies is not your typical leading lady, which should come as no surprise given irreverent nature of the franchise. Walt Disney World may be well known for its Princesses, but that doesn’t mean that Universal Orlando doesn’t have one of its own. UPDATE: “Shrek 4D” permanently closed in January 2022. WARNING: According to the Universal Orlando website, “ny interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19, and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed during your visit.” For more information from Universal about policies in place to help minimize such risks in its theme parks, click here.
