Shrek the Halls
Directed by Gary Trousdale
Produced by DreamWorks Animation, Pacific Data Images
A cheerful holiday special centered on family warmth and festive cheer, where a gruff ogre learns the true spirit of Christmas.
The Christmas tree isn't the only thing green in this new holiday classic. Shrek is back and trying to get into the spirit of the season. After promising Fiona and the kids a Christmas they'll remember, he is forced to take a crash course in the holiday. But just when he thinks he has everything for their quiet family Christmas just right, there is a knock at the door.
