AMC Shares First Look at New 'Shrek' Outhouse-Themed Popcorn Bucket That's Both Hilarious – And Absolutely Disgusting

Hard as it is might be to believe, Shrek is officially celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, marking a quarter century of memorable fairy tale spoofs, gross-out potty humor and lovable misfit characters populating the hit animated series.

To better commemorate the special occasion, DreamWorks is reintroducing the first installment of the fan-favorite series in theaters across the nation. And if that weren't already exciting enough, AMC is sharing a first look at their collectible new popcorn bucket that's equal parts nostalgic as it is utterly disgusting.

According to USA Today, AMC will beginning selling their new "Outhouse Popcorn Collectible" starting May 1 to coincide with Shrek's return in theaters.

As the name might suggest, the new popcorn bucket specifically features Shrek's outhouse, complete with the titular character standing in the doorway. Conveniently, the outhouse bucket features an opening at the top and in the front doorway, as well as having a detachable Shrek figure for good measure.

Of course, the hilarious collectible references the opening sequence to 2000's Shrek, which begins by having the character relieving himself before completing his morning routine to the beat of Smash Mouth's "All Star."

Along with getting a large portion of popcorn added to your collectible at AMC locations across the country, the Outhouse Collective is available with a ticket for Shrek's screening this coming May. The limited-edition item is available only while supplies last, so any dedicated Shrek fans out there might want to reserve their tickets sooner rather than later!

An inventive parody of Disney's classic animated movies, Shrek follows a mean-spirited ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) who is forced to rescue a princess (Cameron Diaz) to win back his swamp.

A major critical and financial success upon its theatrical debut in 2000, the film spawned a long-running franchise that's spanned five sequels, the latest of which will arrive on June 30, 2027.
