Just becareful that you know what you are getting. Both the Shrek and the Shrek 2 are FULL SCREEN. So, if you want the widescreen version, you are spending $29.99 for the 3D version alone, unless you plan on trying to sell the full screen on Ebay.

FYE's price is good. But they are wrong on the format. There is no widescreen versions of this set. Also they then post this:
DVD Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 - Pre-1954 Standard

"Your [actual] mileage may vary" is a boilerplate term put into all automobile ads many years back when automakers quoted city and highway mpg figures. It's entered the general lingo as a phrase meaning, roughly, "this is what I think/believe/experienced, and your results or views may be different."

I believe the 3-D short movie is the same movie that plays at the Universal Theme Parks in California and Florida. I don't believe it was made for home video.

You are correct, sir. Shrek 3-D is the only disc that is Anamorphic Widescreen in the Box set.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't forget to use the $5 off $30 Coupon if you order the gift set @FYE.com
Good news!
Check out this thread for the coupon.
The final cost can be brought down to less than $18 after applying the coupon and free budget shipping! If you don't want the Shrek 1 & 2 DVD in Foolscreen, sell them on ebay to get at least $20 back. You not only make money, but get a good-looking box set for free!
Definitely good deal!

I couldn't resist the Shrek giftset deal. My order came out to be $39.99 - $5 coupon = $34.99 /w free shipping. After the $20 mail-in rebate, the giftset would only cost $15 
The UPC is a sticker on the shrinkwrap, so no need to deface the nice box. The DVDs are individually sealed and it's easier to sell them away.
Thanks for the deal. I'm glad I waited...
