Shrek the Halls (2007 TV Short)
6/10
Shrekland Christmas
6 January 2016
Shrek the Halls is a fast frenetic and funny Christmas cash cow from Dreamworks to milk the Shrek franchise.

Donkey's has been excited about Christmas for months. Shrek is not bothered until he finds out that Fiona is excited over their first Christmas as a family which means he needs to learn everything about Christmas and organise everything at the last moment.

The problem is Shrek's plans for the big day are thrown into chaos by Donkey and the other Shrek characters.

This animation short is festive themed without being too syrupy. Donkey, Puss in Boots, The Gingerbread man and the Three little pigs are all in hand with their gags, annoying or otherwise as well as the sight gags. Such as the Pigs in blankets, the Gingerbread man vomiting a chocolate chip or Puss distracted by the bauble when telling a story.

Kids will enjoy this over the Christmas period which does not try to be a big spectacle and still retains some of the slapstick and gross humour of the Shrek films.
