DVD Review- Shrek The Halls

November 26, 2008 By

shrek the hallsFeaturing the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas, Shrek the Halls (Widescreen Edition)
lets fans join in on the fun as Shrek celebrates his first Christmas with his new family and learns some important lessons about the spirit of the season.

Just when Shrek thought he could finally sit back, relax and enjoy his happily ever after with his new family, the most joyous of all holidays arrives. It’s Christmas Eve, and everyone is filled with holiday cheer, except for Shrek. He isn’t exactly the picture of yuletide joy, but for the sake of Fiona and the kids, he tries to get into the spirit of things as only an ogre can. Unfortunately, everyone seems to have their own ideas about what Christmas is all about, so when Donkey, Puss In Boots, Gingy and the whole gang try to join in on the fun, Shrek’s plans for a cozy family celebration end up spiraling into one truly unforgettable Christmas.

The Shrek the Halls DVD delivers loads of holiday cheer with jolly bonus features to entertain fans of all ages:

¶ The Twelve Days of Christmas Sing Along—Join along and watch the entire Madagascar gang as they celebrate the holidays in style with their own take on the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Sing along to the Madagascar-inspired lyrics, including “lemurs leaping, foosas fussing and a penguin who made a loud squeak!” In classic sing-along style, the words appear on screen as the characters perform.
¶ Deck The Halls Sing Along—“Deck the halls, it’s time to party.” This is your chance to sing along with everyone’s favorite Penguins from Madagascar. Join Skipper, Private and Kowalski for their version of the classic holiday song as they get into the spirit of the season.
¶ Gingy’s Dunking Game—Test your skills at being a master baker and make sure you have plenty of flour as you try to match the Gingerbread cookies that come out of the oven with the Gingy that appears on screen.
¶ Shrek Carnival Craze video game demo and cheat code

Pick it up on Amazon or at retail locations while you’re out shopping this weekend, then snuggle under blankets with the kids and some hot chocolate and have a great time watching this fun movie!
