Disney+ Adds All Four 'Shrek' Films in U.S. for Hulu Bundle Subscribers

A licensing deal brings the DreamWorks titles to Disney+ to help stoke interest before the 2027 sequel.

Overview

  • Disney+, which announced the move Thursday, now streams Shrek (2001) through Shrek Forever After (2010) in the United States for Hulu bundle subscribers.
  • Access is limited to users on the Hulu on Disney+ bundle, which requires a combined plan rather than the base Disney+ subscription.
  • Disney does not own these DreamWorks films, which appear through a licensing arrangement, and Universal Parks and Resorts retains the franchise’s theme-park rights.
  • This marks the first time the Shrek films have appeared on Disney+ in the U.S., after previous availability in select international markets.
  • The rollout arrives ahead of a planned 2027 Shrek 5 theatrical release, drawing fresh attention to a series from DreamWorks Animation founded in 1994 by former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.
