Goofs

When the other characters attempt to scare Shrek, the Three Blind Mice are seen standing on a small round table with a jar in the middle which is placed on the floor in front of the door. Later in the film, when Shrek wonders where the mice are, they are shown to still be on the table. However, the table itself has moved and is now next to one of the curtains.

User Reviews

Love it, but PLEASE make it in Bluray!!!!

Scared Shrekless was the perfect Halloween short movie for those of us who are faithful Shrek fans. It was well written and contains all of my Shrek favorites. It is a compilation of 3 Halloween stories from each characters point of view. The parts with the 3 Little Pigs and with the Gingerbread Man are especially funny. Great spooky little film. A must see for fall. The colors and animation quality in the film are great as well. It is better on TV in HD. The kids and myself love Scared Shrekless and Monsters vs Aliens Mutant Pumkins, but won't be buying the DVD. We are waiting for them to make them on Bluray. Most movie buffs these days have hi def TV's and need hi def discs.
