This may not be as touching as "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings," or "God bless us every one," and it may resonate much more with the parents than the kids, but for a Christmas special about an ogre who may have overstayed his 15 minutes, it's actually not too bad.
-
ABC's new computer animated Shrek half-hour seems to disqualify itself from the timeless category almost immediately by insisting on being "hip" (which means anti-hip), usually at the expense of feeling real.
-
Shrek the Halls isn't much more than an extended skit: loud, hectic, unfocused.
-
While the story line speaks to loneliness and celebrates community belonging, the episode ultimately feels as flat and superficial as a mass-produced holiday greeting card.

LoganT.Dec 11, 2007It was really funny, especially the break dancing chicken and the stories. My only complaint, it should have been longer.

Feb 4, 2019This special gets a 10 out of 10 for Shrek's epic line where he says "kazoo in their beds". LOL!
