DVD SPECIAL FEATURES

Created directly from its original digital format on to DVD, the “Shrek” DVD is the most visually stunning format on which to view this film. The DVD premieres 15 minutes of brand new animation from the creators of the film, PDI/DreamWorks, including the new extended ending and the animated menus. The DVD offers two ways to view the movie, either formatted to fit a television screen or in its original theatrical “widescreen” format. Packed with more than 11 hours of entertainment and insight, the DVD offers something for everyone with fascinating bonus programming offering an inside look into the movie's unprecedented technological achievements, along with DVD-ROM and set-top games, exclusive X-Box tips, a filmmaker’s commentary, and “technical” goofs — hilarious outtakes of animation in progress, as well as other material.

The “Shrek” DVD also introduces Shrek’s ReVoice Studio featuring a never-before-used DVD-ROM technology that lets the viewer become the actor. The program enables viewers to select from 12 of the film’s most popular scenes and record the lines of the characters. It then syncs up their voice with the character's mouth. The viewer can also view the scene and see how their performance as the voice of Shrek, Donkey, Fiona or Farquaad plays! DreamWorks also is launching a new DVD section designed especially for kids called “DWK (DreamWorks Kids) — This Way To Play.” This section provides kids with hours of fun, games, music and activities that can be played on either a computer or television, including Character Morph, a set-top game that enables viewers to mix and match the character’s body parts.

  “SHREK” SYNOPSIS

  Once upon a time in a far away swamp, there lived an ornery ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude was suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. There are blind mice in his food, a big, bad wolf in his bed, three little homeless pigs and more, all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home — not to mention his own — Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Accompanying him on his mission is a wisecracking Donkey (Eddie Murphy) who will do anything for Shrek … except shut up. Rescuing the Princess from a fire-breathing dragon may prove the least of their problems when the deep, dark secret she has been keeping is revealed!
