The film Shrek , produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios, is on the program for the second evening. The animated film is about the eponymous grumpy ogre who lives in a remote swamp. His quiet life is disturbed when a group of fairy tale characters, banished by the evil Lord Farquaad, seek refuge in his swamp. In order to get his home back, Shrek sets off on an adventurous journey with his talkative friend Donkey to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona. This Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning film marks the beginning of DreamWorks Animation Studios' most successful series, whose latest work, The Wild Robot, celebrates its German premiere this year in the "Transatlantic" section at FILMFEST HAMBURG. Narrated by Judith Rakers in the German dubbing, with the original voices of Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O'Hara and Bill Nighy, the film is about friendship and adventure, inspiring both children and adults. As in the books by Peter Brown, the robot Roz has to adapt to nature and learn more about himself and his environment after a shipwreck on a desert island.
