Shrek 5 is directed by acclaimed filmmakers and Shrek franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn. Vernon was a member of the directing team on the Academy Award-nominated Shrek 2. He also worked on DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and Monsters vs. Aliens. Additionally, Vernon has provided the voice of Shrek fan-favorite Gingerbread Man, aka “Gingy,” across all titles in the Shrek Universe. Dohrn worked on the second and third Shrek films as a writer and artist. He was also Head of Story on the fourth film. Dohrn voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After. Furthermore, Dohrn served as co-director on the first Trolls film. He also directed Trolls World Tour and Trolls Band Together.
The film is produced by returning producer Gina Shay (Trolls franchise), who produced Shrek Forever After, and by Illumination CEO and Academy Award nominee Chris Meledandri (the Super Mario, Despicable Me, and Minions franchises). The film is co-directed by Brad Ableson (Minions: The Rise of Gru, The Simpsons).
