3 Beloved Animated Films Releasing on Free Streaming Service Soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Three popular DreamWorks animated films, Shrek 1, 2, and 3, will be
releasing on the free streaming service Tubi in February. It's
difficult to find some of these movies on streaming platforms,
particularly those that don't require a subscription, so this
offers a rare opportunity to watch them free of charge.

First three Shrek films will arrive on Tubi in February
The original Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), and Shrek the Third (2007)
will be added to the free, ad-supported Tubi on February 1, 2026.

At the time of writing, the movies in the Shrek franchise can be
found on the paid subscription service Peacock, or they can be
purchased separately on various platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime
Video, Fandango, and Google Play. As noted by a thread on the Shrek
Reddit, the first Shrek film and Shrek Forever After were available
on some platforms like Netflix and Roku TV, but Shrek 2 can be
difficult to find. So it's great to see that they will be heading to
Tubi soon.

These three films, especially for being animated movies not produced
by Disney or Pixar, were a huge success at the box office. The
original Shrek only had a budget of $60 million but earned over
$488 million worldwide at the box office. Shrek 2 later smashed box
office records with a whopping $932 million, while Shrek the Third
amassed an impressive $808 million.

Rumors that Shrek 5 was in production, more than a decade after the
theatrical release of Shrek Forever After (2010), started to swirl
in April 2023. Illumination founder Chris Meledandri teased that he
wanted the full voice cast from the original Shrek films to be a
part of the project, and since then, Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy
(Donkey), and Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona) have all been confirmed
to be returning for the fifth installment.

However, Universal and DreamWorks Animation have delayed the release
of Shrek 5 several times, most recently pushing it to June 30, 2027.

I consider the commercials to be the price paid to watch on Tubi.

This is still great news to anyone who wants to see them, doesn't have
them on disk, and doesn't want to pay. They are worth seeing.

OK, the third takes some getting used to, but it does work.

As to a fifth entry -- all I can say is that, after the fourth, that
is going to be hard to pull off. But then, I expected the episodes
after the third (if any) to continue the decline. Was I ever wrong
about that!
