Each Hobby Box Includes An Individually Numbered, Hand Drawn Color Sketch Card!

MORRISVILLE, NC - May, 2007 - Inkworks announces the release of HOBBY-EXCLUSIVE premium trading cards for the highly-anticipated movie sequel, SHREK THE THIRD! SHREK THE THIRD follows in the footsteps of SHREK TWO which was the highest grossing animated film in history.

When Shrek married Princess Fiona, becoming the next King and Queen of Far Far Away wasn't part of the plan. Recruiting Donkey and Puss In Boots for a new quest, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne. Back in Far Far Away, Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne.
