SHREK FOREVER AFTER is an animated comedy feature about ogres living in a world of fairy tales and is the third sequel in the popular series. It has been passed 'U' and contains mild fight scenes.

The mild fight scenes are mostly undetailed and with comic intent. But there are some notable moments which include a slow motion punch to Shrek's jaw resulting in a drawn out moan of pain, sight of an arm twist with accompanying crunching sounds and two scenes showing knife threat. The BBFC's Guidelines at 'U' state that there should be 'No potentially dangerous behaviour which young children are likely to copy. No emphasis on realistic or easily accessible weapons'. In context, the knife threat comes from a female warrior character and the knife is comparable with medieval arms. It is far removed from contemporary experience. Because the threat is directed at Shrek, it conveys little sense of real danger and fits within the 'U' allowance for 'Occasional mild threat or menace only'.

The film also uses what might be considered 'bad manners' such as burping and play on smelly soiled nappies, all used as a comedy device.
