Shrek the Halls

About This Movie

So, 'Shrek the Halls' is an interesting little holiday special that gives us a peek into Shrek's attempt to embrace Christmas. It’s not just a cash grab; there's a genuine warmth about it, though it’s definitely in line with the franchise’s humor. The pacing feels brisk, moving quickly through Shrek's holiday trials, but it maintains that classic Shrek wit. You see a lot of familiar faces, and the performances, especially from Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, offer that same charm. The animation quality holds up well, with some nice touches that make the winter setting pop. It really tries to balance the comedy and the heart, which can be hit or miss but overall, it’s a cozy watch during the season.

Released on DVD and Blu-ray alongside Shrek's The Final Chapter · Features a runtime of about 22 minutes, perfect for a quick watch · Animation done by DreamWorks Animation with a holiday twist · Includes original voice cast reprising their iconic roles
