And actually this film's title is almost longer than the under 3 minutes that this karaoke party runs for. Well, it probably runs for a lot longer and we just see a collection of snippet where basically every major character from "Shrek" gets to sing a line or two from pretty famous songs. It was released after the very first "Shrek" movie almost 15 years ago and the singing cast include several voice actors from the films such as Mike Myers (obviously), Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and a personal favorite John Lithgow. The duo of directors are also the same as from the first Shrek film: Adamson and Jenson. Well, that's pretty much all there is to it. Worth a watch for fans of the franchise, but no value as a standalone film, although that's pretty much a given for a 3-minute-film. All in all, I don't think it's particularly memorable

Unlike the outtakes shown over the end credits of the Pixar films "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2," and "Monsters, Inc.," this didn't seem half as inspired.The sing-along was cute... the first time through. Fortunately it's a bonus feature on the DVD; the VHS copies stuck it in right before the end credits. I guess that's why they made the fast forward button on the remote.
... View MorePicking up from the party at the end of Shrek, this musical short takes the form of a karaoke party with all the main characters getting down and letting rip with a collection of songs. Best place to find it is on the DVD or as an extra on the video but it is worth finding.The song at the end of Shrek is cool (I loved the Vic Reeves version and this is close to that), but the dance party short takes it to another level. The party continues the adult/child humour of the film and is very funny indeed given that it's only a few minutes long.Each character pretty much has a turn and the songs are very funny (I won't spoil it by naming the songs). Some are hilarious, some are cool and only one is a bit too slow to match the mood of the short. The whole short is fun and adds to the party feeling that was present at the end of Shrek.Overall this isn't worth watching by itself but is a very, very welcome companion to the film. In about 5 minutes it manages to be so cool it's classic, so funny you'll almost cry and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face no matter what.
... View MoreI was watching it at my friends house and I'd already seen it so I wasn't extremely excited. The movie ended and we were just sitting there there talking when it came on. When donkey started singing "I like big butts and i cannot lie" I fell off my chair laughing. (and it was one of those humongous chairs- i slept on it once and it was better than my bed- so it was almost impossible to fall off of) As soon as my friend and i returned it I rented it again to watch with my sister- and i almost died waiting for that part to come on
