An American Crime

Secrets Of Shrek Forever After 3:58 This little video is an informative one that quickly highlights the voice cast including those who return in smaller roles, and pointing out just which animation crew provided voices in the movie as well and points out references to previous Shrek installments some subtle, some obvious. Deleted Scenes 5:44 There are three deleted sequences. Director Mike Mitchell introduces these scenes, starting with the first one, Fairy-tale Creatures Attack, which is a mostly completely finished and rendered sequence which is unusual for animated movies. It was probably a smart cut, because as the director points out, it seemed too dark to have the otherwise beloved fairytale characters attacking Shrek. Gingy Attack is entirely animated storyboard frames of a sequence that would have been Gingy fighting animal crackers in an arena. Its rather stupid, so it was a wise cut. Emperor No Clothes is a short storyboard sequence where Rumpel cons a naked king out of his another wise deleted sequence. Filmmakers Commentary This is a feature-length audio commentary provided by Director Mike Mitchell, Head of Story Walt Dohrn and Producers Gina Shay and Teresa Cheng. Conversation With The Cast 9:18 Ryan Seacrest interviews a panel of the Shrek 4 main cast as they reflect on the franchise over the past decade. Seacrest asks each cast member different questions, starting with Meyers and moving down the line through Murphy, Diaz and Banderas. The four then comment on what its like to meet fans over the years, telling some pretty amusing stories, before the panel switches the topic over to Fionas transformation in the fourth film, which Diaz comments on. Head of Story, Walt Dohrn, who voices Rumpel in this movie, becomes the topic of conversation next, and then the featurette ends as Seacrest asks the new cast, Jon Hamm as Brogan and Craig Robinson as Cookie, to talk about what it was like to join the team. The Tech Of Shrek Forever After 7:32 This a cool little featurette that discusses the evolution of the animation technology over the past ten years, focusing on how things have changed and what they could do and accomplish with this fourth film that they couldnt in 2001 with the first one. Some of it does tend to sound like a commercial for HP servers and processors, but its something that many will find humorous to look back on in a few years kind of like how silly many of the old computers, cell phones and car phones look today. But its neat to see the technological even if the storys quality doesnt match up to its advancement in animation. Shrek, Rattle Roll breaks down into several subcategories. First we have Shrek The Musical or Darling I Do Music Video. Then the Musical option breaks down into From Swamp To Stage: The Making Of Shrek The Musical or Who Id Be. From Swamp To Stage 8:13 is introduced by Cameron Diaz who shows how the movie became a Broadway musical. I cant say Ive seen the Broadway and I cant say that this little behind-the-scenes video makes me want to see it either. In fact, seeing the characters as people in make-up singing corny broadway songs is slightly disturbing and kind of cheeses out the animated films. But, if this is your cup of tea, theres a full video of one of the Broadway tunes, Who Id Be, included for viewing. Lastly is the Darling I Do music video from the films soundtrack, performed around a piano by Landon Pigg and Lucy Schwartz. Shreks Yule Log 30:18 Pretty simple but awesome, this is exactly what it sounds A Shrek Yule Log! I remember watching and listening to the Yule Log as a kid and to see the Shrek characters in their own special Yule Log is pretty cool. It starts with Fiona asking Shrek to light the fire before the guests arrive and then suddenly Donkey busts in and warms his rear in front of the fire accidentally lighting up his tail. The rest of the animated video is just the fireplace with some chilled out Christmas tunes played instrumentally over it, but the occasional Shrek characters step in to change things up from just staring at the fire SPOILER: dont read on if you want to be surprised!: Wolf tries to throw Pinnochio on the fire, Donkey roasts a marshmallow, Puss In Boots steps in while munching on a Christmas treat, Cookie comes in with a pot of stew, one of the little Ogre babies interacts with a donkey baby, the three blind mice discover Shrek warming his feet by the fire, Gingy rescues a cookie from Fiona, Rumpel tries to put out the fire, Puss tries to have a catnap then eats another cookie, Pinnochio dances with the Pied Piper, Fiona cracks a nut for Cookie, the Pied Piper causes a Menorah to take shape in the fires flames, Rumpel tries to sneak into the party in a gift box; Pinnochio realizes theyre all being watched by us viewers, Gingy rescues another cookie, a donkey baby relights the fire, Puss steals a Christmas cookie for Santa, Pied Piper An American Crime a Christmas tree to form in the flames, a fat Puss In Boots tries to eat a candy cane, Cookie and one of the three little pigs mixes hot chocolate; An American Crime Fiona puts out a final cookie, which is fought over before Santa shows up. Its a fun little Yule Log that Shrek fans will surely enjoy! Donkeys Caroling Christmas-tacular 5:11 This is a new Christmas party animated video featuring all of the Shrek Forever After characters even Rumpel while Donkey sings Christmas tunes. Theres also an optional lyrics caption to have for a sing-a-long. After Donkey sings, the ogres present a disgusting spin on Jingle Bells while singing An American Crime swamp-inspired cuisine, and then Puss takes over with Fleas Nav-i-dad. Finally, the whole gang sing a new take on Jingle Bell Rock to close. Deck The Swamp features several fun activities for the kids, including a 12 Days Of Christmas Pop-Up Book, Donkeys Decoration Scramble and Cookin With Cookie. Overall, while Shrek Forever After isnt quite the grand finale the franchise deserves, the Blu-Ray version of the film gets a decent treatment. And with all four films being available together in a Blu-Ray box set for the first time, grabbing all four together in one swipe isnt a bad idea however, they are the Blu-Ray discs ONLY. No DVDs or digital copies are included. Its likely that DreamWorks might release individual combo packs for the first three films in the near future. Sex/Nudity : We see a feminine looking male witch make eyes at the King who responds in disgust; Shrek tries to get Donkey to follow Fionas scent. Donkey refuses, but when he describes a smell he DOES pick up, Shrek thinks its Fiona, but Donkey really is smelling food. When Donkey says he smells something delicious, Shrek irritatedly fires back, Hey! Thats my wife youre talking about!; Fionas outfit shows some cleavage throughout the duration of the film; Puss asks Donkey to lick his back for him. Donkey refuses untile Puss gives him the big-eyed cute look and then he agrees. Theyre interrupted before Donkey could do it though; We see Shrek in just a towel or shorts several times; Several of the male ogres have bare chests Alcohol/Drugs : We see Shrek drinking eyeball martinis several times; Shrek and Rumpel drink martinis together; We see ogres drinking in a bar, etc Blood/Gore : We see eyeballs in Shreks martinis and in a bowl.
