The story is filled with humor, adventure, and a unique take on the traditional fairy tale genre.About the Author

His book Shrek! is one of his most famous works, leading to the creation of the popular Shrek film series.Adaptation and Faithfulness

Although the short film takes creative liberties, it maintains the spirit and humor of the original story, capturing the essence of Shrek's character and his adventures.Production

This is one of those "Christmas cartoons" that does everything right. The mood of the original is respected, the actors are all in place, and it also gives a good New Year’s story.
A similar concept – themed stories from characters – worked better in the Halloween special. Here they are too short. But for family viewing on the eve of a holiday, it’s enough for once. 6.5
