       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.
