No, none of the Shrek films are available on Disney+ because the Shrek franchise is owned by DreamWorks Animation, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, which is currently owned by Comcast. Shrek is still available on Netflix as of 26 April 2020.
Currently the Shrek franchise is owned by Dreamworks, which is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal, which is owned by Comcast.

Nope. Shrek is not part of Disney. Shrek the film and the franchise are owned by DreamWorks Animation LLC (aka DreamWorks) which is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures which is a division of NBCUniversal which is owned by Comcast. Therefore, Comcast owns Shrek, not The Walt Disney Company.
Shrek, a children movie starring Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz is available to stream now. Watch it on Netflix, Prime Video, Fandango at Home or Apple TV on your Roku device.
The gist of the storyline is that Shrek (Mike Myers) makes a deal with a man named Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) whilst in the midst of a midlife crisis, and accidentally erases himself from existence.
DreamWorks Animation LLC (DWA) (also known as DreamWorks Animation Studios or simply DreamWorks) is an American animation studio owned by Universal Pictures, a division of NBCUniversal, which is itself a subsidiary of Comcast.
When the first film in the now full-on Shrek franchise dropped in 2001, the team over at DreamWorks proved that audiences were over watching your run-of-the-mill fairy tale that had been beaten to death by Disney.
Inspiration. There is speculation that Lord Farquaad's appearance was inspired by Michael Eisner, the then–CEO of The Walt Disney Company, because of producer Jeffrey Katzenberg's animosity toward his former employer.
Shrek and Shrek 2 are both leaving Netflix at the end of the month. Fortunately, we already know where they'll be going next. Puss and Boots and Shrek Forever After will be remaining on Netflix once May arrives, but the first two Shrek films are heading to their home streaming service: Peacock.
Considering that there are now 4 Shrek movies and 2 Puss in Boots spinoff movies, it can be easy to fall behind. Due to their different ranges of success, each movie is available on different platforms. The first two movies are available free to stream with a subscription on Hulu and Peacock.
The plot is so thin and unexciting - Prince Charming wants to takeover the throne while Shrek wants to get a young (King) Arthur to replace him as next in line to the throne.

The rumored release year for Shrek 5 is 2025, though no concrete date has been confirmed. Initially set for 2020, the movie faced delays, and updates on production have been sparse.

Everyone who didn't work out on another (DreamWorks) project got sent onto Shrek.” At the time, DreamWorks Animation was headed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, who left Disney in 1994 after the two sides endured a public and acrimonious divorce.
The Shrek franchise has — and we can't believe that we're writing this — layers. They are simple layers, but they are layers nonetheless. Put that on a poster. Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek Forever After are currently streaming on Peacock.
Shrek is 90 minutes long, Shrek 2 is 93 minutes, Shrek the Third is 93 minutes, Shrek Forever After is 95 minutes, Puss in Boots is 90 minutes, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is 102 minutes.
"Shrek" was just one of a bewildering array of new films and TV shows that hit Netflix in May, but it's managed to distinguish itself by steadily climbing the most watched charts, where it now sits at number one.
