A reasonable effort but nothing compared to the Shrek films. Fair enough it's short, but it probably could have been much better. A few laughs here and there, but there wasn't really much of a storyline which was the main problem. Being such a big fan of the series I would have expected more, but hey for what its worth its still worth checking out, especially at Christmas because all the talk about being with family and friends does kind of get you in that mood.

A fine inclusion in the Shrek line, though nowhere near matching the original film.

As a matter of fact I liked a bit darker Shrek interpretation, though the story was not that successful. And they could make it less predictable, but hey! This is a family concept series.

Corny cheesy Christmas cash-in that probably took less time to write than it does to watch. The fact something like this even got made must be worrying for any fans of the Shrek franchise. Animation is okay, everything else is terrible.

Nauseating: fart joke, dance-along to 90's song, fart joke, dance along to 90's song, fart joke. And so on.

It wasn't even good enough to air a 2nd time, in 2008.

Not quite insultingly bad, there are a few funny moments tucked away in there, but it's still a mile below Shrek 3 which wasn't very good to begin with. It's a by the numbers Christmas special in every way.

Another slice of Shrek, which is no bad thing. But not especially good neither. Holla "Cash Cow" y'all

Certainly could have been better--it's like they only put 1/2 effort into writing this.

Exactly what a Christmas special is supposed to be and I will watch it again next year!

I'm kinda shocked by all the low scores. I'm not normally someones who likes this kind of thing, but I thought it was well done for a little half an hour Christmas special. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the holiday special genre, but I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind it joining the X-mas special rotation with all of the other ususal suspects. So there.

Yes, it's been made for the money, and it's fairly unnecessary, but I'm a sucker for holiday festivities and this is relatively good fun. It's a little more preachy about the 'true meaning of Christmas' than it has to be, but it's still an enjoyable enough half-hour for adults and kids.

Maybe 3 laughs. All very saccarine and unpalatable for anyone who thought that 'Shrek' was clever.

short by nice...

Surprisingly nice

Not as good as the shrek movies.

Pretty enjoyable.
