Fan-Favorite Animated Sequel Making Waves on Netflix

By Charlie Ridgely

Popular animated franchises have had no trouble finding massive audiences on Netflix. The Despicable Me films, which recently left for a new stint on Peacock, were constant streaming hits for Netflix, showing up in the Top 10 for weeks at a time. The first two films in the Shrek franchise were added to the service earlier this year and have found a similar success. Over the weekend, another Shrek entry was added to Netflix, and it's proving every bit as popular as its predecessors.

April 1st saw the addition of Shrek Forever After and Puss in Boots, joining the likes of Shrek and Shrek 2 on Netflix. Upon arriving, the fourth Shrek movie immediately leaped past the first two movies in the franchise, taking a spot high on the Netflix Top 10 Movies list.

Monday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 movie ranks features Shrek Forever After as the second-most popular movie on the service, just behind The Blind Side. On the overall list, which includes both movies and television, Shrek Forever After sits at number three.
