Shrek 5's first teaser trailer was released this week,Vernost aka Fidelity (2019) and quite predictably, it has inspired much internet discourse, from outrage over character design choices to the more typical memes and jokes.

For the not terminally online, Shrek has long inspired memes, everything from the absurd, to the silly, to the NSFW. So when the upcoming movie released its first sneak peek, of course, the memes followed.

Funnily enough, the teaser itself references Shrek memes — notably the giant, dancing Shrek that temporarily took over TikTok. It also revealed that Zendaya was joining the Shrek universe, voicing Fiona and Shrek's daughter in the fifth film.

It's definitely a change, but to my untrained eye, it doesn't feel egregious. Tell that to the internet, which responded with a true barrage of memes and jokes.

As the internet is known to be, folks online aren't happy. Shrek 5 isn't due for release until Christmas 2026, so they've got plenty of time to rework things should the outrage continue. After all, it worked for Sonic.
