‘Shrek the Halls’ Comes to DVD in Time for Holidays
Paramount Home Video has begun the Christmas shopping season with the announcement of Shrek the Halls coming to DVD on November 4. The CG-animated television special debuted last holiday season and featured a brand new story, cramming all the trilogy’s characters into a thirty minute event. It received good reviews and had an impressive audience averaging 22.7 million viewers.
The DVD will feature fun and interactive holiday-themed bonus material including a sing-along version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” starring the entire gang of characters from DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar, a unique take on “Deck The Halls” with the hilarious Madagascar penguins and sing-along lyrics, a Gingy Dunking Game that tests your matching skills, plus a Shrek Carnival Craze game demo and cheat codes.
The DVD will be available as a single disc in either full screen or widescreen, as well as in a special two-pack with Shrek the Third and in limited edition holiday packages featuring Holiday Shrek, Holiday Puss, Holiday Donkey or Gingy plush characters.
Disc details:
- 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.

I watched the first movie and enjoyed it. I got part way through the second film and lost interest. Obviously I'm not the intended audience for this series as I've no interest in watching more adventures of Shrek and the gang. It has fun and cute moments but I don't see it sustaining a series.Oh well, it doesn't need my money. It has millions of fans already. I didn't like Barney either and I also lost interest in The Simpsons, but look how well they have done.
