Shrek: The Whole Story (Shrek / Shrek 2 / Shrek The Third / Shrek Forever After)

I've been a fan of Shrek long since before it was an unstoppable juggernaut franchise. I watched the first in the theater before it was even yet a hit. I've followed it from its surprise hit status to name brand status. Watching these in Blu-Ray is like watching them again for the first time, taking me back to first seeing them in the theaters, long before they were cannon. The picture is so clear and pristine it makes it worth double dipping. There's a ton of special features, including those on the previous sets. While there is not DVD copy or Digital Copy as found in most modern Blu-Ray sets, I'm not too disappointed as (1) I have the DVDs, and (2) now that I have the blu-ray I have no interest in watching the DVDs. If I had one complaint its that the set doesn't contain either holiday special (Christmas and Halloween). It doesn't kill the set, and frankly they aren't that great, just a little disappointed as this is called the "whole story." Regardless, it's a great set, and looks wonderful. Highly recommended to fans.

Very pleased with the DVDs.

After finally purchasing a Blu-ray player in Dec. 2012 to go with our new Panasonic Viera ET5 HDTV, we thought it would be a good idea to congregate all our Shrek DVDs and Shrek 1 on VHS in one place and in one format. What a difference! The resolution and enhanced detail are amazing on Blu-ray - the difference is especially noticeable making the leap from a VHS. Of course, every Shrek movie has an awesome soundtrack so the audio is pretty great too. I love the entire Shrek franchise, with Shrek 2 being my favorite and Shrek 3 my least favorite. My husband and I are over-40 types who found love late in the game, so there are some really pertinent themes that we can really relate to. Great lessons for my daughter about stereotypical and preconceived notions of "beauty" and attractiveness as well. Shrek: The Whole Story on Blu-ray will be a family favorite for a long long time.

Does not include "Ghost of Lord Farquad," (Shrek 4D, the universal studios "ride").

I received this product from Amazon recently. I have viewed all four movies but not the additional disk. I liked the movies, they were fun, a little naughty, perhaps, but good family fun. They follow Shrek as he misadventures through his romance with Princess Fiona to her transformation in the first movie, his visit the the Kingdom of Far, Far Away and the battle with the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming, who is not so charming after all. Puss in Boots was delightful in the third book, I think he really stole the show. And the dastardly Rumpelstiltskin in the fourth and final movie was a deliciously villainous villain. I recommend the set for the young at heart and the youngsters who are old enough to understand the values of a good mud bath.

Used but still very good condition. Very happy with purchase. Great set

A little pricey All in all a good deal for four feature-length 3-D Blu-rays. If you like the Shrek films. This is the way to go. It also seems to be somewhat of a good investment. Since the price on this is only increasing even on the used sets. It's much better than trying to collect them each separately. And the films themselves hold up quite well since their original release. Great family entertainment. The film's definitely are set to appeal to the whole family rather than merely children, and that's to their benefit. I hadn't seen first couple since the original release in the theater, and they really hold up. Given the test of time. I would definitely recommend this set and I would try to buy it sooner rather than later. given how the price keeps rising. Enjoy

Muy buena colección en formato blu ray con 1080 p de definición y contienen las 4 películas obvio con el doblaje al español latino y aubtitulos igual eb ingles y en español con dts muy buena colección aparte trae extras de cada una de las películas el precio no es tan barato pero llego muy bien cuídado y vale la pena

Je l avait deja et offert mes je les repris pour mes enfants j adore et eux aussi donc je recommande aux fan de cette franchise possède les 4 en un coffret rien de mieux je les et pris en DVD l image n a pas énormément de différence en blue ray sauté sur cette édition

All four films are unique and can be viewed as stand-alone films. However, for maximum enjoyment, watching them sequentially the first time is best. The animation is superb, and the plots are well thought out. They are simple enough for children to enjoy the viewing but entertaining enough for adults to enjoy the storyline. The same is true of some of the humour - basic and simple for children, but with another layer that children will probably miss, but that won't be wasted on older/adult viewers. Quite simply, a brilliant series of films. Excellent prompt supply from Amazon ensured the delivery was in advance of the estimated date.

Parfait.

My husband loves these movies. Hes 25, and he laughs every time we watch them. Obviously the first is the best, but who can beat all four for under $30!? A little "potty" humour, but that's what makes it funny for us adults. Great story about accepting who you are, be it ogre or beautiful princess, and the value of the people who surround you. I love the part where Shrek tells Fiona he thinks she's beautiful as an ogre - I feel like every girl should realize that you don't have to be what society says is beautiful to be a princess in the eyes of your prince. You can just be who you really are.
