Description of Shrek / Shrek 3D - Party in the Swamp:
William Steig's delightfully fractured fairy tale is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit. Our title character (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. When the diminutive Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy-tale creatures (including the now-famous Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and the Gingerbread Man), they settle in the ogre's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal, a talking donkey (Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess (Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence. The story is stronger than most animated fare, but it's the humor that makes Shrek a winner. The PG rating is stretched when Murphy and Myers hit their strides. The mild potty humor is fun enough for 10-year-olds but will never embarrass their parents. Shrek is never as warm and inspired as the Toy Story films, but the realistic computer animation and a rollicking soundtrack keep the entertainment in fine form. Produced by DreamWorks, the film also takes several delicious stabs at its crosstown rival, Disney. --Doug Thomas
Shrek / Shrek 3D - Party in the Swamp Reviews:
Shrek (Two disc special edition) 
2009-11-07 -
I am extremely disappointed with my purchase from awesome_books_001. What I received in the mail was ONE vhs cassette with the shrek movie in another language. The title of this product was a two disc special, I feel very ripped off, and will be much more careful about ordering anything online. I was under the impression that amazon was a reliable place to order CD's and DVD's.
Sincerely,
Very Disappointed
Should be four stars 
2009-10-19 - This is a good animated Film and the in my opinion the best animated movie of all time Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy Are Are almost at their best Behind Austin Powers And the Nutty Profeser so this was the third best Movie of 2001 behind Lord of the rings Fellowship of the ring and Harry Potter 1. so Buy it today

A terrific movie for kids of all ages
2009-10-03 - Once upon a time, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Meyers). Shrek liked the quiet life in his swamp, until Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow)evicted all of the fairy tale animals from his Kingdom. The animals move into Shrek's swamp, which he is not happy about. So he and the fast-talking Donkey (Eddie Murphy) visit Farquaad to work out a deal: Shrek will rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from a fire-breathing dragon, in exchange for taking the animals back. While spoofing every fairy tale from Three Blind Mice to Three Little Pigs, and taking numerous shots at Disney, Shrek's message is not lost. One cannot always see beauty from the outside. I haven't seen a movie this funny in years. Bring the kids! I'd say 4 and up. There is some mildly crude humor, but little ones won't get it anyway.
I love shrek!!! 
2009-09-08 - The movie could not be changed of course. It is a VHS of shrek. The one negative is there was not jacket? I didn't know that? But I am happy with my movie!
