A Great Feature Film & 3-D Short, both sold short, May 12, 2004
This review is from: Shrek/Shrek 3D Double Bill (DVD)
First, there's the Shrek film, which is not only an Academy Award winning Animated film...It's one of the best Films I've ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend that you buy the ASIN=B00003CXXJ version of Shrek which is both Widescreen and Fullscreen DVD, with great extras. The Shrek in this DVD pack is just Full Screen, which is an insult to this amazing film. Then, there's Shrek 3-D, which is a great "4-D" theme park attraction at Universal Studios. It looses some of it's funniness going from 4-D to 3-D...so see it at the theme park, in all it's glory. Here, it is only presented in Anaglyph (Latin for "annoying"). The 15 minute short is presented in 2 formats, 2-D (why?!?) and Anaglyph (Red/Cyan glasses). Very bad move not to have included a Field Sequential 3-D version, which is what all the 3-D film lovers were readying their wallets for. Anaglyph looks like bad 3-D on all TVs, while Field Sequential looks great, but only works some TVs. Including both would've sold very well. Lastly...there's NO "Making Of Shrek 3-D" on the 3-D DVD...just 2 versions of a 15 minute short, and an interesting ad/trailer for Shrek 2. Skip this 2 pack. Buy the Widescreen DVD of Shrek. And hope they re-release Shrek 3-D in Field Sequential 3-D, with a Making Of, as a single DVD, later.

3D does not work on television.Save your money., June 12, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Shrek/Shrek 3D Double Bill (DVD)
After watching this travesty on TV for 5 minutes,I turned it off and rested my aching eyes from the often out of focus 3D. I read that for 3D to work,a cinema must have a specially coated screen so television viewing is out of the question. This DVD does have a normal 2D version that kids can watch,but as the weak story is just an excuse for 3D effects,it isn't worth the money. It is only 15 minutes long and doesn't really add anything to the story. If you already have the first Shrek movie,then save your money and don't buy this.

What a letdown, May 30, 2004
This review is from: Shrek/Shrek 3D Double Bill (DVD)
Of course, Shrek is a great movie but I bought this thinking that the Shrek 3D was going to be a great addition to our collection - I was completely letdown. Shrek 3D is 16 minutes long - my daughter was very upset when it ended so abruptly. If you already own the origianl Shrek, DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!
