Your game is illegal, no matter if its free or not. Whoever owns Shrek (Dreamworks?) can strike you at any time. But it’s only them who can initiate any charges, so if they don’t then you’re in the clear, but you still stay in a legal gray zone.

So the answer is: you’re not safe unless the owner of Shrek explicitly says you are.

is that possible I could get in big trouble? Like ending up in a jail?😂

I can imagine I go to jail and they ask me why are you here and I answer: I made a game!😂

No. As Arekku said, your game could get taken down at most. If that happens and you refuse to accept it, then you can be sued, but you probably won’t be jailed.

Thank you for your reply to my questions. I hope I don’t get sued.
