Plot
Shrek and Princess Fiona are to succeed King Harold, but Shrek's attempts to serve as the regent during Harold's medical absence end in disaster, as he lacks interest in being king of Far Far Away. With his dying breath, Harold tells Shrek of another heir: his nephew and Fiona's cousin, Arthur "Artie" Pendragon. Meanwhile, Prince Charming vows to avenge the death of his mother, the Fairy Godmother, and become king. He goes to the Poison Apple tavern and persuades the fairy tale villains to fight for their "happily ever after", and help him take over Far Far Away.
Shrek sets out to retrieve Artie with help from Donkey and Puss in Boots. As they sail away, Fiona reveals to Shrek that she is pregnant. Shrek is horrified because he believes he is incapable of raising children. The trio journey to Worcestershire Academy, an elite magical boarding school, where they discover that Artie is a scrawny 16-year-old outcast.
At the school pep rally, Shrek tells Artie he has been chosen to be king of Far Far Away. He is excited until Donkey and Puss inadvertently frighten him while discussing the king's responsibilities. Losing confidence, Artie tries to take control of the ship and steer it back to Worcestershire. Following a scuffle with Shrek, the ship crashes on a remote island. They encounter Artie's retired magic teacher, Merlin, who convinces Shrek and Artie to open up to each other.
