Donkey's Caroling Christmas-tacular

There's little to be said about 'Donkey's Caroling Christmas-tacular', as it is merely a swift celebration of the 'Shrek' universe. Unlike the films, which have an emotional tie for Shrek's character, this short is lacking a sense of story progression, which is a small shame in some way because 'Christmas-tacular' marks a return to eccentric, unrelenting humour in the manner of the original film and the first sequel; that is, a constant barrage of visual and verbal puns that the producers behind the third and fourth movies could not quite replicate, despite their best efforts.

Every one is catered for with screen time shared equally between Shrek's ever-popular family and friends, the joy of which is found in discovering the festive season through the perspective of a flea-ridden cat, or a living party snack. It is characterisation like this that contributes to the endearing nature of the series.

'Christmas-tacular' doesn't quite hit a home run like 'Shrek the Halls' before it, as that short successfully intertwined a simple plot that added the necessary weight to contain the sheer madness that punctuates nearly every moment of this franchise. However, Donkey's festivities are a great way to kick-start your own Christmas season.

8/10

I don't like Christmas specials, but this is Shrek we are talking about, so I had to see it. But after watching I realized I really didn't have to. It's not boring only because it's 5 minutes long, so it has no time to bore you. Not even mediocre.

4,5/10

Donkey, Shrek, and all the characters from Far Far Away. come together to celebrate

the holiday season by singing classic Xmas song in funny twist it way.

I did not like this short at all, it didn't find any of the songs that funny at all, however it did have nice xmas feel to it

and the Animations was really good in this movie and voice was sound fine with moving of animation

None of song really stuck in my head, which is a really good thing,

and I going to give this movie

4 out of 10

All he did was run over a child in his Honda Civic 2001 and was like it was a Gemini thing and was sent away for a war crime!!!!!!!! UNEPIC!!!!!! Free Donkey! DEFUND THE POLICE!!!

This movie, even for such short time, has been funny enough, interesting enough, and good enough. It has christmas atmosphere, topic, and many unpredictable stunts. Better than most long movies, and better than most short movies. Similar to all other Shrek sequels.
