Shrek is making a comeback next year, dubbed in te reo.
It's the brainchild of the Māoriland Film Festival people, who have forged a magical relationship with another giant - DreamWorks Animation.
Casting for Kiwi voice actors starts on Monday and a world premiere is planned for next year's film festival.
Mihi speaks with Māoriland producer Libby Hakaraia and director Tinui Stevens.
