DVD Reviews of Shrek the Halls

DVD Review: Enjoyable.
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes, this short, short movie is a tad spendy for what it is, but if you are looking for a fun little Christmas cartoon and have enjoyed the other Shrek films, I recommend this one as well. All the favorite characters are back to celebrate Christmas, and watching Shrek struggle to learn what Christmas is all about with constant interruptions from the usual suspects makes for a delightful watching experience. Puss is as cute as ever, Donkey is as exasperating as ever, and Shrek is as ogreish as ever. With holiday shenanigans aplenty, I am glad this cartoon has found a home on my shelf.

DVD Review: New Holiday Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw Shrek the Halls for the first time the other week on TV. It was hilarious for me as an adult and also for the children. It's now overtaken the old Frosty as my favorite holiday movie.

It is short and fun and perfect to keep people entertained and is now part of our family collection. I can't wait to watch it again and it is a definite must have if you liked the Shrek Movies at all and looking for something new to watch during the holiday season.

DVD Review: If you love Shrek you'll love Shrek the Halls
Summary: 5 Stars

DVD Review: What a pleasant surprise
Summary: 5 Stars

Although the movie was very short, I didn't expect it to be anywhere as good as Shrek 1 & 2. I found it funny, entertaining & belly laughing good. The antics by the characters kept us laughin through out the movie. I look forward to watching all 3 of the movies again.

Description of Shrek the Halls

Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 11/04/2008

Despite its 22-minute run time, Shrek the Halls (originally written as a half-hour TV special), is packed with plenty of laughs and holiday cheer. The animation is rich, and the character interplay among all the folks we know and love--Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots--endearing and spot-on. Shrek wants to throw the "perfect Christmas" for Fiona and the kids, but as an ogre, has no Yule experience. So he starts at the local bookstore, where a winsome clerk (voiced by Marissa Jaret Winokur) quickly sizes up Shrek's hapless situation and pronounces: "I know all about Christmas, and I have just the book for you: 'Christmas for Village Idiots.'" Shrek becomes so focused on doing the holiday "by the book" that he fails to notice the magic and comradely chaos unfolding all around him. Fiona, for instance, has some neat tricks for making holiday decorations (watch how she turns a festively striped snake into the perfect candy cane). The kids are happily frolicking with the kids of Donkey and everyone else in the village--but the commotion is too much for Shrek, who snaps. Will his ogrely hissy fit ruin Christmas--and make him overlook the meaning of Christmas that can't be found in a book? Even viewers who might guess the answer will enjoy the trip, including competing versions of "A Visit from St. Nicholas," better known as "The Night Before Christmas." Puss's version: "He was dressed all in fur / From his head to his paws / And he stood there heroic, / A real Santa... Claws." And the film is full of cute references to holiday classics like "It's a Wonderful Life" ("Excuse you for what?" barks Shrek after one of his kids does a dainty Fiona belch knockoff). Even bit players get big laughs, like the three German pigs, ready to have a Christmas Eve sleepover. One points out to his brothers: "Look! We are pigs, ja? Und we are in a blanket, ja? It's funny, ja?" Ja! Warning to parents: There is one scary, almost gruesome scene that involves Santa Claus, but it's over quickly and then the film is back to its funny and heartwarming purpose. Extras include an animated sing-along "Twelve Days of Christmas" featurette as well as several holiday games to keep the tykes engaged after the last present is unwrapped. --A.T. Hurley
