    Scary and fun at the same time

    This short animation is about Shrek and his friends having a competition to see who can tell the scariest story.

    "Scared Shrekless" is a fun animation. It is so colourful and fun. It is not easy to make a scary enough but not too scary animation for kids. Everything about "Scared Shrekless" is so adorable. The characters are cute, and the haunted house is spooky in a fun way. The gingerbread man sub-story is scary and fun at the same time. It sounds crazy, but the story that the gingerbread man tells is scary, and yet the gingerbread man and women are so adorable and colourful that it makes the story entertaining and not so scary.

    Exactly what you'd hope for and a little more

    A surprisingly funny and well made movie. This movie is a very basic story essentially shrek just does a bet that involves each of the main characters telling a story to scare each other. The comedy that comes out of the stories are surprisingly funny and witty for any age and do supply a good amount of enjoyment in its 30 minute run time there is also a lot of cute callbacks and like shrek the halls shrek is written in a very believable way that makes lots of sense for his character. Unlike shrek the halls all the other characters act in a very believable way And the movie is much more funnier. This is a fun Halloween movie where you get exactly what you'd hope for and a good time.

    Shrek Halloween Special

    On Halloween, Shrek and several fairy tale characters go to the castle of Lord Farquaad, where they compete in telling scary stories. The last one remaining in the castle wins. This twenty-minute cartoon consists of three stories done as a homage to cult horrors. Gingerbread's story is inspired by the film "Bride of Frankenstein", Puss and Donkey squabble in their usual way through a parody of Hitchcock's "Psycho", and Shrek wins the night with scenes from the movie "The Exorcist" applied to Pinocchio. Imaginative, witty and technically well done. I enjoyed it very much.

    Holy Shrek!

    Scared Shrekless (2010) is a short film in which Shrek's friends take it in turns telling him scary stories in an effort to frighten the big fella and prove that ogres can be terrified too. Leading the charge is Donkey (surprisingly not voiced by Eddie Murphy), who instigates the whole ordeal, and he's joined by Puss in Boots, Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio, The Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf. Only the first three get to actually tell a tale because Shrek himself chimes in with a story that just so happens to have the world's best pun as a title. The three stories are all enjoyable in their own right, as is the framing device. There are several entertaining, if ham-fisted, references to previous movies in the series, as well as to other films and to the fairytales that lend the franchise its characters. It's really fun, actually, and is varied enough to never feel stale. It's a pacy, well-animated affair that's much better than I was expecting it to be.

    Clever spoof of the classics

    Scared Shrekless is a very fun animation that plays out as a compilation of horror shorts (obviously not too scary with it being for kids) spoofing original thrillers. You have Psycho, starring Puss and Donkey with Prince Charming being Norman Bates and Night of the living dead featuring Gingerbread men, you get the idea.

    It's a joy to see all the Shrek actors playing their parts with such enthusiasm and the animation is really great being colourful in parts and suitably spooky looking in others.

    8/10: Great fun

    • Trivia
      This is the only canon Shrek story where Eddie Murphy does not voice the character "Donkey"
    • Goofs
      When Pinocchio runs through the door after being scared by Shrek, a small gap is seen above where his head went through. However, when the camera cuts to the other side of the door, the gap is no longer there but is immediately created when a small piece of the door falls off.
    • Quotes

      Shrek: [Castle Duloc has become run-down; to Donkey] Look! It's that little thingy you love so much, remember?

      Creepy Clockwork Chorus: [Shrek pulls the lever on the Information Booth, and the same mechanized marionettes pop out singing, this time looking very deranged] Welcome to Duloc/It's a creepy town/It was once pristine/Now it's all run down. We will chop off your head/And then laugh when you're dead/Duloc is a creepy place.

      Creepy Clockwork Chorus: Come on in with your head,/Come lie down, break your... face/Duloc is... Duloc is... Duloc is a cre-py... place!

      Shrek: [booth takes their picture, captioning it "Get Out"] Ooh! Let's do that again!

      Donkey: NO!
