I understand the original version was in 3-D but the effects were obviously the main focus and there's no real evidence that the filmmakers were trying to tell any sort of good story.

From what I read after viewing this thing, it appears this was added as a bonus on the re-release of the first movie and it seems not too many were happy with the marketing process but the film itself is what really should have bothered them. Shrek 4-D (2003) ** (out of 4) Very weak short has the ghost of Lord Farquaad stealing Fiona so Shrek, Donkey and various other characters must try to rescue her. It's definitely worth 13 minutes of your time, but unless you're a completist I don't think there's any need to run out and buy the DVD. I ended up watching the 2D version on the same disc because you can get a better appreciation for the colors & animation. No real story, but there's a lot of nonstop, fun action, a few funny lines, and the waterfall scene at the end is pretty impressive. The story is about Princess Fiona getting kidnapped while Shrek & Donkey chase after her. Perhaps it's just the difference between theater projection and home viewing, but unless you've got a theater in your house you'll probably be seeing it the way I did. I don't know much about 3D technology, but I know that some recent films like "Beauty & the Beast 3D" (2012) are a more enjoyable because the 3D glasses don't tint the colors so much. I can't say I was dazzled by the 3D (and I was watching on a pretty good 60" screen) mainly because the cardboard red & blue 3D glasses, included, are sorta annoying on the eyes and nose. Clocking in at 13 minutes with no other features on the DVD except previews, this would've been better as a bonus feature on the Shrek movie DVD.
You're probably wondering if it's worth renting or picking up on DVD. But that's probably not why you're reading reviews on IMDb some 10-15 years later. However, true Shrek-enthusiasts will want to make the journey to Universal Studios Singapore, where Shrek 4D is featured as part of a "Far Far Away" themed zone that also includes multiple rollercoasters, a live show and Shrek-centric retail outlets.When "Shrek 4-D" premiered at Universal Studios in 2003, I'm sure it was nothing short of amazing. At Universal Studios Japan, which recently opened its themed Super Nintendo World, fans can find Shrek 4D housed in the same theater as Sesame Street 4D Movie Magic. While Shrek 4D's days may be numbered in the United States, the ride still has a presence in other theme parks around the globe. At this time, there is no news on what attraction will replace Shrek 4D. In 2017, the longstanding T2-3D: Battle Across Time, which was built after the release of Terminator 2, was also shut down in favor of The Bourne Stuntacular. In recent years, other hallmarks of yesteryear have also been shut down in favor of more relevant properties. Shrek 4D was itself a replacement for the Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies 3-D film. In order for new rides to open up, old rides must be closed down. Though the closing of Shrek 4D is sad for many fans, it is a necessary part of business for theme parks. RELATED: Univeral Beijing Resort Opening Tickets Sold Out in Three Minutes
When Universal Studios shuts down its Shrek 4D counterpart in 2022, it is estimated that it will have hosted nearly 75 million guests. Seeing this, Universal Studios added Shrek 4D to its core theme parks in both Hollywood, California and Orlando, Florida. However, by 2017, the moment passed for Shrek and Universal Studios Hollywood closed the ride, replacing it with DreamWorks Theatre. Today, the legacy of Shrek lives on through the character of Puss in Boots, played by Antonio Banderas, who is set to get a new film in 2022.īy 2003, the popularity of Shrek had turned the character into a cultural phenomenon. In the wake of Shrek's success, DreamWorks launched a franchise of productions, including sequels, video games, television specials and even a Broadway play. It was a box office hit and became the fourth highest-grossing film of the year. In 2001, DreamWorks Animation released Shrek starring Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow.
