Producer Libby Hakaraia contacted DreamWorks’ Vice President of International Dubbing, explaining how Ōtaki, a town revitalising te reo Māori since the mid-1970s, had become bilingual. Te Moananui-ā-Kiwa Karatea- Goddard led the translation, supported by Kaimoni Soutar, Kīki Kihi, and Hana Mereraiha. Ngāti Raukawa linguist and writer Hēni Jacob oversaw the final script.
Shrek uses irreverent humour to tell a deep tale of love and self-acceptance. Even on its surface, it's a story of unlikely friendship and honest romance that makes for a triumphant happy ending.
Shrek Kātahi Te Korokē stars Maaka Pohatu as Shrek, Te Puaheiri Snowden as Donkey, Tuakoi Ohia as Princess Fiona and Jeremy Tātere MacLeod as Lord Farquaad.
