My favorite...

"This special ruined Christmas for me...and I'm Jewish" -firteen88, DVDTalk.com/TV Talk

I thought Shrek the Halls was actually pretty good. Does it rank with the likes of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or How the Grinch Stole Christmas? No, no it doesn't, but it was a solid 22 minutes of an X-mas special and I'd watch it again, I'd buy the DVD release as well.

Maybe it wasn't "memorable", but it was funny and the Gingy bits where definitely the best parts of the show.

This was actually a pleasant surprise. I HATED Shrek The Third with a passion, but thought this special wasn't half bad. This should have been the third movie instead

What were those dragon things?

I liked the episode - I guess I just liked when everyone started dancing

I am truly surprised that they got the whole cast.

I liked Shrek's Night Before Xmas story at the end. And the 3 Pigs: "So we are pigs in a blanket, ya?" "This is funny, ya?"

I love Shrek but I didn't watch it because I do not own part 2 or 3 of the movies on DVD even though I know this TV special probably didn't follow the movie storylines but still I didn't watch it, Although it sounds bad from the reviews so I might have to check it out sometime if they play it again or release it on DVD...LOL!

That was my favorite part of the special, I totally LOL at that bit, so true about cats, especially how P-n-B's eyes got all big and distracted.

+1. Basically wraps up my feelings a well.

Had some good laughs, it certainly holds its own for a half-hour christmas special, and it was at least impressive that they got all the real vocal talent back as opposed to imitations at this point, especially for a TV special. We could have had much much worse.

Very watchable

Actually, they were introduced at the end of Part 2.
