1st off, Shrek The Halls itself is hilarious! Very well done, probably better material than what was in the 2nd & 3rd films. My gripe is absolutely with the dvd itself & its pricepoint. $17.99 (or $19.99 retail)for only 22 MINUTES worth of cartoon is an absolute rip-off!

According to other online outlets, here is the list of features:
12 Days of Christmas Featurette
Deck the Halls Featurette
Gingy Dunking Game
Shrek Carnival Craze Video Game Demo & Cheat Code

That's it?! Sorry but I say just save your loot & rec'd it when ABC shows it 2-3 times this Holiday season. The cartoon is good but it ain't that good!

Ok, first of all ... it's Shrek. The adult-like inuendos and child-like references is right in line with the wit and charm of the entire Shrek series.
I TiVo'd this last year (2007) when it came out for the holidays on TV and I have kept it saved in TiVo this whole time. I watch it at least once a month! It ranks right up there with the three full-length moviews in the series.
Hysterically funny. You will have to rewind in certain parts because you'll be laughing so hard you'll miss some. :)
Great watch!
My only complaint is that it's not long enough ... the good ones never are ... ????
ENJOY as adults and/or with kids for the holidays. Good for lots of laughs!

DreamWorks' Shrek the Halls Christmas special will air from 8 to 8:30 on Wednesday, November 28th, on ABC. So watch it then or record it or buy it after you see it (I bet the prices will go down after it comes out since its a short picture!) Or google it to find it cheaper elsewhere!

This is one of my kids favorite. Its a good dvd for christmas collection. The plush is cute. Would definitely recommend it.

Loads of fun, and I think should enter the ranks of movies like The Grinch That Stole Christmas and A Muppet Christmas Carols, as movies to watch every holiday season.

Another "Shrek" delight. Our famaily has really enjoyed this "short" Christmas Shrek and the interactive games with it.

Me I my family had alot of laughs during this movie. I really wished it was longer though. I paid $12.99, so I kind of expected it to be short. No complaints here this is one of the best in Christmas movies you'll find & you won't be dissapointed.

The $17.99 for 22 minutes isn't good, but it being in a Widescreen version is worth it. Besides, how many more times will ABC broadcast it; and when it comes on and I record it, it won't be widescreen.

I know a lot of fellow reviewers are upset with the price of this DVD, but I cannot let that mar the product. This was the most outstanding Christmas Special I have seen in close to twenty years. Most of the other Christmas Specials I own are from my very early childhood or classics from before I was born. This will become a family favorite for years to come. When I found out this was being released, I literally called my brother and he was as excited as I.

The humor appeals to children as well as adults in the same manner as the films. It spreads a message of togetherness and family unity for the holidays as only Shrek, Fiona, and company can. It has wonderful twists on holiday tales, songs, and traditions that keep you laughing until you're wiping away tears.

"Shrek the Halls" is sheer brilliance and a fat dose of holiday hilarity. Don't let the price scare you away. The years of laughs are well worth the price-tag - besides folks, "quality, not quantity."

This film was playing on our airplane for our flight to the States for Christmas. All of my children watched it at least 3 times, even the teen, yet when our purchased copy came in the mail they still wanted to sit down and watch it again immediately! It's shorter than the movies, but still filled with laugh-out-loud humor and messages about the value of family and friendship. I'd hesitate to call it a "Christmas classic," but it's a definite must-add to the collection of any fan of Shrek.
