Universal Pictures has done it again – and by “it”, we mean sending an entire fanbase into a fiery rage 🔥. The long-awaited “Shrek 5” teaser dropped recently, only to be met with absolute horror by die-hard fans. Not only did the studio unveil a brand-new, sleek 3D animation style that looks like an AI-generated nightmare, but they also pulled a move so insane that even Lord Farquaad would be shaking in his boots – they let Zendaya voice every single character in the film. Yes, every. Single. One. 🤦🏼♂️
Shrek 5: The Zendaya Monologue That Broke the Internet
From Shrek to Donkey, Fiona to Puss in Boots, even the Three Blind Mice and the Gingerbread Man – all of them now speak with the exact same voice, because why hire multiple actors when you can just make Zendaya do everything? Universal must be taking budget cuts very seriously 😅. Of course, fans weren’t too thrilled about this groundbreaking “creative choice”. The teaser has already been bombed with thousands of dislikes (not that YouTube lets you see them anymore), and Universal had to turn off comments faster than you can say “somebody once told me” 🤬.
Shrek’s New Look: Pixar Clone or AI Experiment Gone Wrong?
If you thought the voice cast fiasco was bad, wait till you get a load of Shrek’s new look. Gone is the iconic swamp-dwelling ogre with a slightly terrifying yet lovable face. Instead, we now have what appears to be a plastic-skinned, hyper-realistic Shrek that looks like he moonlights as a Fortnite skin. Fans are calling it “DreamWorks’ biggest mistake since Shrek the Third” and demanding that the studio go back to the classic 2001 design.
👀 Goodbye, Mike Myers? “Shrek 5” is Now Just Zendaya Talking to Herself! 🌟
Some have even compared the situation to the infamous “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie disaster, where the internet bullied the studio into redesigning Sonic’s horrifyingly human teeth. Will Universal cave in and fix Shrek’s look? Or will we be forced to watch what looks like a deepfake version of our beloved green ogre?
One thing is for sure – if Donkey starts singing Billie Eilish songs in a Zendaya voice, we riot. 🎶🤯
Fans Demand Justice: “Where is Mike Myers?!”
For over two decades, Mike Myers has been the heart and soul of Shrek, delivering an unforgettable performance that made us all believe in love, onions, and Scottish-accented ogres. But now, he’s been unceremoniously booted out in favor of Zendaya’s all-encompassing vocal takeover. The same fate has befallen Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, whose names still appear in the credits as a sort of sad consolation prize – except they never actually recorded a single line. 🤯

Fans have taken to Twitter (or “X”, if you’re into that) to voice their rage, with hashtags like #NotMyShrek and #FreeMikeMyers trending worldwide. Some are even speculating that the original actors weren’t just recast but held hostage somewhere deep within Universal Studios. Hey, if anyone sees Eddie Murphy wandering the streets looking confused, let us know.
What’s Next? “Shrek 6” Starring Only AI?
Given Universal’s bold decision to have Zendaya handle literally everything in “Shrek 5”, we can’t help but wonder what’s next. Will “Shrek 6” be entirely AI-generated? Will Donkey be replaced with a TikTok influencer? Will Fiona be rebranded as a non-binary warrior with an inspirational podcast? 🤔
One thing is for sure – the swamp is no longer sacred. It has been invaded by corporate madness, digital absurdity, and the undeniable fact that, in 2025, absolutely nothing is off-limits. And if you thought “Shrek 5” was just a harmless animated film, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to the absolute carnage it has unleashed online.
But hey, at least Zendaya got a solid paycheck. 🤑💅
