if you take all the stock element of a shrek movie ( grumpy ogre and annoy donkey and cute kitty and obligatory dance number and etc . ) and put them in a blender and condense it to 20 minute and you would have this mess . painful to watch while i may have laugh once . the story and dialogue be rush beyond comprehension and with the voice actor sound like they phone in their line . the final reworked rendition of the christmas story poem felt like it be write by a committee in five minute . and boy and a little eddie murphy go a long way . with it desperate attempt to be hip and current and this show will be long outdated and forget while classic like the grinch will remain timeless . a sad waste of effort by all involve and a veritable jumping of the shark for the shrek franchise .
