Plot hole: In the second Shrek movie, we find out that Fairy Godmother and the King had a deal that Prince Charming would save Princess Fiona from the keep, hence becoming her true love and breaking the curse. In the fourth movie, we start with Rumple monologuing about how he almost had the Kingdom by signing a deal with the King. Why would the King be so desperate to try and reverse the curse by signing a deal when he knows he has a prior attempt through Prince Charming, assuming it would take the same time for the messenger to return with news about Charming and Fiona either way?

Shrek and his extended family start off with a tough day and the wily little Rumpelstiltskin twists everything to become his worst nightmare in the latest episode of the franchise. Most of the gang is here, but they're different as Shrek wasn't born in this timeline and they must now reacquaint one another and solve a riddle before things get worse. It's complicated, there's witches involved, and...well...watch the movie. 3 stars.
5.9/10.The entry that ended Shrek for good. It's not a good entry to go out on when it's just an animated rip off It's A Wonderful Life.

Suggested correction: It is stated in the intro that when "days turned into years" of waiting for a Prince to rescue Princess Fiona, the king and queen resorted to more desperate measures - enter Rumpelstiltskin.
Puss in Boots: Feed me, if you dare.
More trivia for Shrek Forever After
Question: In the beginning, the king and queen are shown riding in a carriage. However, before watching this movie, I viewed Shrek 3 where the king had turned into a frog and died. If he died in 3, how did he come back to life in this movie? This was before the king and queen signed any contract and vanished, so magic was not involved in his being alive.
Answer: It was stated in this scene that Fiona was rescued from the tower, meaning this scene took place at the same time as Shrek 1, when the King was still alive.
But they didn't have kids in the first?
