Which Shrek film was the first in the franchise to use the subtitle Forever After?

Shrek Forever After was the first Shrek film in the franchise to use the subtitle Forever After.

Shrek Forever After is the fourth main animated Shrek film and was released in 2010. Directed by Mike Mitchell, it follows Shrek after he becomes frustrated with domestic routine and makes a bargain with the deal-making character Rumpelstiltskin.

The bargain creates an alternate version of reality in which Shrek and Fiona have never met. Shrek must then restore the life he once took for granted, making the film both a fantasy adventure and a story about appreciating family and relationships.

The movie was also marketed with the subtitle The Final Chapter in some contexts, which can cause confusion when identifying its official title. Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third use numbered or descriptive titles rather than Forever After.
