Synopsis
SHREK 3-D is an amazing, mind and eye-boggling three-dimensional short film which bridges the plot gap between the ogre-some SHREK and SHREK 2. This special edition 3-D snack feeds the ogre-hungry between monster-sized meals and comes complete with 3-D glasses and the original full length theatrical version of SHREK.

Mixed Feelings
This DVD contains both the original Shrek film, and a new 15 minute feature in 3D.
Shrek, on its own gets 5 stars. It is a truly amazing film, funny to people of all ages. The animation is beautiful, the voices great (my favourite is by far Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy). If you havn't seen this film then buy this DVD with no doubts, even if its just for the main film.

The additional disc, Shrek 3D is different. Its a 3D feature lasting about 15 minutes (the kind where u wear those red and blue glasses... 4 pairs supplied). There is very little in the way of a story, and the main plot is all written on the back of the box. It seems like the feature is an excuse to play around with 3d, rather than a good feature enhanced with 3d. Despite all this, it is still quite good. The 3d animation is very good, and things do seem to be sticking out of your TV screen. However, after 15 minutes of viewing my eyes really hurt. There is an option on it to play it in standard animation, without the 3d, but I don't really see the point in this, as without the gimmick of the 3D it isn't really that great.

On the whole, if you don't own shrek already, get this because u get the original film and the new feature for the same price as just the original. If you already own Shrek, I don't think that paying nearly 15 quid for just the 15 minutes is worth it, but if you do feel that you want everything to do with shrek, then go for it,

Shrektastic
I realised that it wasnt a new film, but 15 mins of extra footage by reading the sleeve before I bought it! Having only ever seen Shrek on VHS, I was really pleased to get hold of this, and see all the extras in lovely surround sound from my sofa! Definitely worth replacing the vid with the DVD, and you get to wear some silly glasses. My kids, never having seen 3-D before loved it. If it keeps them quiet, then I'm happy. They've watched the film about 10 times already, and similar for the 3D footage

3D is 1D less than 4D...
The 3D Shrek story is a nice little inclusion in the Shrek continuity; kids of all ages (including the odd 30-something!) will love it. A word of warning though - if you've not yet been to Shrek-4D at Universal in Orlando, but you're hoping to go, don't play this element as it is what you'll see there but without the moving seats, air & water effects etc. That said, Shrek 4D isn't worth queuing more than 30 minutes for - either get a hotel room at the park (which gives priority entry to the shows) or just get this DVD, rig up a hairdryer under the couch and have someone flick water at you on cue...
