Summary

Shrek: When the misunderstood ogre Shrek goes out into the world on an adventure, he encounters witches, knights, dragons, and one very ugly princess who could be his true love.

The amazing bone: On a beautiful spring day, Pearl finds an amazing talking bone in the forest.

Brave Irene: Plucky Irene, a dressmaker's daughter, braves a fierce snowstorm to deliver a new gown to the duchess in time for the ball.

Spinky sulks: Spinky is a brat, sullen and unforgiving, testing the patience of his very loving family at every turn. Storming out of his house, feeling angry and unappreciated, Spinky heads into the yard for a good sulk, and nothing can entice him out of it - until he finally figures out how to stop sulking in a way that allows him to save face.

Doctor De Soto: Dr. De Soto, a mouse dentist, copes with the toothaches of various animals except those with a taste for mice, until the day a fox comes to him in great pain.

Caleb & Kate: Kate and Caleb, a wife and her husband, argue over something silly. A furious Caleb wanders into the forest and falls asleep under a tree. While he dreams, a witch turns him into a dog. He comes home, of course, but can only bark. The bereft Kate wonders what became of her faithful mate, fearful that he did not know how much she cared. One night robbers steal into the house, and when Caleb scares them off, the witch's evil spell is broken.
