Shrek +3D - The Story Continues [2001]

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,


3D is 1D less than 4D...   November 26, 2004

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...

After repeated viewing of Shrek I always find new things that make me chuckle in the film, be it disgusting (using earwax for a candle) or Shrek and Donkey's growning friendhip.

The additional story is also of high quality and the animation has also improved in leaps and bounds (and being in 3d helps give and extra edge). This follow up sets the story perfectly for the upcoming Shrek 2. However for those of you have been on the Shrek 4D ride at universal studio's this will be a disappointment as it is the same story, just without the moving seats and Donkey bogeys!

Well worth it if you haven't already got the 1st film.

I am a coaster enthusiast and I bought this because the 3d short film included is the 4d shrek film shown in the universal studios theme parks accross the world.

Now in the theme parks it is watched on a large cinema size screen and as a result the 3d effect works very well. At home it works surprisingly well but doesn't of course compare to seeing it on a big screen.

So definately buy it if you have a video projector (some lucky people do) and invite your friends round for a scare! if not then bare in mind you need to sit near the screen to see the effect (which still does work pretty well).

So overall i would say definately if you haven't got the original buy it, if you have got the original, how much do you like theme parks and 3d films ?!
