Exclusive excerpt: Cameron Diaz (CameronDiaz) writes about her bond with Shrek's Princess Fiona for DreamWorks Animation book
What weighs 65 pounds, measures 18-by-18 inches square, is signed by stars including Alec Baldwin, Jack Black, America Ferrera and Ben Stiller and costs $25,000? The Official DreamWorks Animation Opus Premiere "Anniversary" Edition celebrating the 25-year history of the studio, available in November . If that price tag's a little steep, there are three other editions available, ranging from about $15,000 down to a mere $250 or so for the smaller Classic Edition.
Four years in the making, the tome features untold stories and extensive images from the studio's 36-movie filmography. The more deluxe editions also bear the signature of studio co-founder and longtime leader Jeffrey Katzenberg, along with those of additional DWA stars and several filmmakers . But every version of the book will come withstar Cameron Diaz's very personal foreword — a paean to her pioneering character, Princess Fiona, excerpted exclusively here.
"When I met Fiona, she was just a young princess, faltering and fumbling, trying to find her place and make her way through a set of circumstances that were decided for her. She learned that she could and should be proud of her true self. From that base of strength and confidence, I got to stay with her. She blossomed into a wonderful partner to Shrek, a mother, a leader, thriving as a result of her perseverance, bravery and the kind and wise people she met along the way.
