The Shrek Trilogy (Full Screen)

As someone who enjoys the Shrek movies, I'm really disappointed in this box set. Before this I didn't own the first two movies, and thought this was a great deal for all three. I thought it would make me a cool uncle to have all three movies when my nephew visits.

The problem is I should have paid close attention to the screen format when ordering. I wrongly took it to mean that it was going to be in a wide screen format since it didn't specify full screen in the title. If I watched DVDs on a standard TV that might not be such a big deal, but I own a HDTV with an up-converting DVD player and prefer watching wide screen formated movies on it. They just look better on the screen.

Sadly Amazon does not offer this set in a wide screen format. So I'm either going to make do with the set I just ordered. Or, I'll have to order each movie separately if I want them in the wide screen format.

These movies are the kind that one can watch repeatedly and see something new. They are great entertainment for childrena nd adults alike.

Shrek- This is a very good movie with a great storyline and perfect for the whole family. Shrek is an ogre who lives in a swamp by himself. He runs into a talkative donkey named Donkey. When Lord Farquaad forces other fairy tale creatures into the swamp, Shrek and Donkey go to Farquaad's castle to regain his privacy. Farquaad gives Shrek a task, he must go save Princess Fiona from a castle surrounded by lava and protected by a fire-breathing dragon so that Farquaad can marry her and become king. After he rescues her, he slowly begins to fall in love with her. I highly recoomend SHREK!!!

Shrek 2- After their honeymoon, Shrek and Fiona are invited to Far Far Away to meet Fiona's parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian. During their dinner, Harold is disgusted by Shrek's antics. Harold is soon visited by Fairy Godmother, who is the mother of Prince Charming. Fairy Godmother is mad because Shrek was the one who saved Fiona from the castle in the original. She forces Harold to get rid of Shrek by any means necessary. He even hires a hairy assassin named Puss in Boots, but Puss soon changes sides and joins Shrek and Donkey. After taking a potion, Shrek and Fiona become real people, but Fiona has not yet seen Shrek, so Charming tries to convince her that he's Shrek. Will Shrek be able to stop him before midnight? I highly recommend SHREK 2!!!

Shrek the Third- King Harold is on his death bed and wants Shrek to be the king, but Shrek thinks it's a bad idea, so he asks if there is an heir to the throne. It turns out that his nephew, Arthur Pendragon is in line to be the next king, so Shrek, Donkey, and Puss set out to find him. While they are away, Prince Charming is planning revenge on Far Far Away and seeks help from the fairy tale villians. Will the gang be able to stop them? I highly recommend SHREK THE THIRD!!!
