THE SUN NEVER SETS ON SHREK
Think Shrek's global footprint is limited to a film franchise!? Think again! Join us on a global trip of the many, many Shrek experiences ‘round the world.
Wait, hold up, what’s going on here?
We think ANY excuse to celebrate Shrek is a worthy cause, but it ends up Shrek — star of the animated film franchise — is a Yiddish character based on a Jewish book from a Jewish author. Really!
But why are we discussing that on a theme park podcast?
Well, one-sixth of each year at theme parks— yep! one-sixth! — revolves around traditional Christmas festivities, but not everyone celebrates Christmas. So, we’re rallying around a non-denominational, inclusive character everyone can celebrate: the lovable green ogre, Shrek!
What started as a silly holiday celebration has now become a hilariously in-depth series focused on the history, culture and community surrounding our beloved ogre Shrek.
Each December, we’ll share unique reported stories on Shrek and the wildly passionate world surrounding him. So, grab some onions, belch real good and welcome to our Shrekcember festivities!
