WATCH: 'Shrek 5' teaser reunites OG cast in 'Further Further Away'

Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are out to go on another journey, this time to the magical city of “Further, Further Away” in the first official teaser of Dreamworks Animation’s “Shrek 5.”

A new magical adventure awaits the whole gang led by comedy icons Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), and Cameron Diaz (Fiona). This time around, they will be joined by Zendaya, who voices Felicia, Shrek and Fiona’s daughter; and Marcelo Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as Felicia’s brothers, Fergus and Farkle.

In the trailer, the Ogre family with their two boys (and Donkey, who is considered family anyway) could be seen setting out for “Further, Further Away.” But the place is far from welcoming, with dubious characters lurking in the shadows. In the next scene, they could be seen behind bars with Donkey making light of the situation with his choice of entertainment.

Surprisingly, despite the hype, Zendaya’s character was not shown in the first trailer.

Directed by acclaimed filmmakers and Shrek franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn, “Shrek 5” is a “thrilling, magical new comedy adventure from one of the most beloved global animated franchises of all time: Shrek 5.”

Vernon has helmed a number of animated hits under his sleeves. He was a member of the directing team on the Academy Award-nominated “Shrek 2” as well as on DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” and “Monsters vs. Aliens.” He has also provided the voice of Shrek fan-favorite Gingerbread Man, aka “Gingy,” across all titles in the Shrek Universe.

On the other hand, Dohrn worked on the second and third Shrek films as a writer and artist and as Head of Story on the fourth film. Dohrn also voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in “Shrek Forever After.” He also served as co-director on the first Trolls film and directed “Trolls World Tour” and “Trolls Band Together.”

The film is co-directed by Brad Ableson (“Minions: The Rise of Gru,” “The Simpsons”).

“Shrek 5” is showing in Philippine cinemas in 2027.
