One of the most beloved animated films of an entire generation, and the first ever winner of the Best Animated Feature Academy Award, is finally coming to 4K. This May, Shrek turns 20 years old, which certainly comes as a big surprise to everyone who grew up watching and loving the DreamWorks hit film. To celebrate the anniversary, Universal is releasing a new edition of Shrek on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.

The big highlight of this release is the 4K copy of the film. Shrek hasn't ever been made available in 4K, so this is a big deal to quite a lot of fans. In addition to the 4K release, this anniversary edition will also have a ton of special features.

The Shrek 20th Anniversary bundle will come with 10 different short films from the world of Shrek, as well as five episodes from The Adventures of Puss in Boots TV series. There will also be a commentary and plenty of behind-the-scenes extras.
