I bought Scared Shrekless from a supermarket but it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon yet, at least not the UK-PAL version. So I'm posting this review here as the only option open. Yes, I know it's not the same product but hopefully it will be helpful to anyone thinking of buying the UK DVD.
The first thing you need to know is how short it is - just 24 minutes. There's virtually nothing else on the DVD other than the film itself, just trailers for two other films (Kung Fu Panda 2 & the forthcoming Puss in Boots) and the stage musical Shrek. Subtitles English only. No extras at all - the 'Thriller Night' shown on the US-NTSC version is not included, whatever it is.
Basically it's a collection of (obviously) short stories designed to scare Shrek, as told by the likes of Donkey, the Gingerbread Man and Pinocchio. Shrek himself doesn't feature much. The quality of the animation is excellent and on a par with anything that has gone before in this series. The stories are loosely based on classic films such as Bride of Frankenstein, Psycho and The Excorcist.
It's funny and had the children laughing throughout. It's just so........short! It's not that new either, being released in the US in 2010 but only just becoming available in the UK in October 2011 for the first time.
We've got all the full-length Shrek films on DVD and each one has been watched a zillion times. This cut-down variant won't be watched that often, I feel.

I bought Scared Shrekless from a supermarket because at the time the Region 2-PAL version was not available on Amazon UK. Well, now I see that it is, so here's my take on it.
The first thing you need to know is how short it is - just 24 minutes, and I think that includes the end credits. There's virtually nothing else on the DVD other than the film itself, just trailers for two other films (Kung Fu Panda 2 & the forthcoming Puss in Boots) and the stage musical Shrek. Subtitles English only. No extras at all - the 'Thriller Night' shown on the US-NTSC version is not included, whatever it is. It's tempting to suggest that the US import might be better value, then, but as I haven't seen it I can't be sure.

It's funny and had the children laughing throughout. It's just so........short! There's nothing to complain about what you get, it's simply that there isn't very much of it and as soon as it ends the children are likely to look at each other and go "Oh. That was quick". It's not exactly brand-new either, being released in the US in 2010 (i.e. about a year earlier) but only just becoming available in the UK in October 2011 for the first time.
We've got all the full-length Shrek films on DVD and each one has been watched a zillion times. This cut-down variant won't be watched that often, I feel. For die-hard Shrek fans only, I'd say.

I purchased the region 2 version of this from a well known supermarket,
its available exclusively through this chain for £5.
What you get on the DVD are 3 trailers,
one for Puss In Boots, one for Kung Fu Panda 2 and one for Shrek The Musical
and the 24 minute long Scared Shrekless.19 minutes of Shrek, 5 minutes of end credits (a bit cheeky!)
Before I bought this, I was well aware this was no Shrek 5, I knew it was a short feature in the vein of Shrek the Halls.
What does bother me about the product is that Scared Shrekless is a bit rubbish for both adults and children.
It contains references to The Exorcist, Bride of Frankenstein and Psycho which I'm sure no kid will get and for adults its just not funny.
Not worth a fiver but give it a few weeks and like previous Dream-works short films, the supermarket will be mad to get rid of them for a couple of quid!
Also, this is the first time Eddie Murphy refused to voice Donkey but the actor who takes his place does a great job-you wont even notice.
I give it 2 stars because its got that great Halloween atmosphere and yes, its bad, but its harmless!
