this is the last full 22-minute special i'm looking at from Dreamworks. Also, I'll talk about the shorts that they made that either came exclusive to DVD or was featured before the movie in its original theatrical run.
The first special we are going to talk about is Shrek the Halls.
The special focuses on Shrek trying to set up the first Christmas he ever had in his entire life. It begins in the summer with his babies as Donkey does his usual antics while talking to Shrek about Christmas. Then after two minutes, Shrek goes to a book store to pick up a for dummies book on how to celebrate Christmas as he leaves to set up literally on, Well Christmas. Later on donkey brings everyone on board to celebrate the holiday while Shrek tries to tell Twas The Night Before Christmas to the 3 ogre babies. I don't unfortunately see a link to Shrek the Halls, but if you do see the short air on ABC or even have the DVD, go and give it a watch.
With that said, let's get on with our short, The Madagascar Penguins in A Christmas Caper.
This came before Wallace and Gromit: the Curse of The Were-rabbit during the theatrical run and then later released on the Madagascar DVD a month later... or somewhere along the lines,
The short is about Private going out to find a Christmas present for a lonely polar bear named ted but a mean old lady who is shopping for a toy for her pet Mr. Chew and it's up to other three penguins to save him. i have to admit, after all of these years I still find the short to be hilarious as it was when I saw this in the theaters. It's also available on Netflix if you want to look that up. just search Dreamworks Holiday Classics and you can see the short as well as a bunch of others.
Stay with us as we got only got 20 days until we wrap up this festive holiday marathon.
