Shrek the Halls

Shrek the Halls

Schedule:

Tue. Dec. 11 8:00 PM ABC


Shrek the halls was great! It was full of the original Shrek humor. The whole cast

is back and Shrek is grumpier than ever because its... the holiday season!

The only problem I had with it was the fact that it was a half an hour special

that really in fact is only 20 min. The story was good and all but it went by too

fast. It barley had a middle. It was like a fast beginning and a long end. Fans of

the films will love it! It's great for kids (with the short attention span) but

for the adults its just another reason for a TV special

Shrek the Halls' Official Synopsis

"Just when Shrek thought he could finally sit back, relax and enjoy his happily

ever after with his new family, the most joyous of all holidays arrives. It's

Christmas Eve and everyone is filled with holiday cheer -- except for Shrek. He

isn't exactly the picture of yuletide joy, but for the sake of Fiona and the kids,

he tries to get into the spirit of things as only an ogre can.

"


Unfortunately, everyone seems to have their own ideas about what Christmas is all

about, so when Donkey, Puss In Boots, Gingerbread Man and the whole gang try to

join in on the fun, Shrek's plans for a cozy family celebration end up spiraling

into one truly unforgettable Christmas."

Original Shrek stars Mike Myers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Fiona), Eddie Murphy

(Donkey) and Antonio Banderas (Puss in Boots) will reprise their roles in the

special.

Gary Trousdale, Sean Bishop, Theresa Cullen & Bill Riling wrote the script for

Shrek the Halls, while Gina Shay and Teresa Cheng produced the thing, along with

Executive Producer Aron Warner. Gary Trousdale sat in the director's chair.

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Disney Bury the Hatchet

Of course, the fact that Shrek the Halls is airing on ABC is worthy of further

comment. As the official press release notes, ABC produced such memorable

Christmas classics such as A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole

Christmas, the latter narrated by none other than the original Frankenstein's

Monster himself, Boris Karloff.

ABC is also owned by the Walt Disney Company, DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg's

former stomping grounds. Katzenberg had a few issues about how the Mouse House

(and then-CEO Michael Eisner) treated him after he helped turn The Lion King into

a monster hit, which he exorcised – or exercised – in the original Shrek. The fact

that Shrek the Halls will actually air on the Disney affiliate is a pretty good

indicator that Katzenberg and the current Disney management have kissed and made

up.

Shrek the Halls will air at eight o'clock (ET) on Wednesday, November 28th.

Fun Fact: Saturday Night Live comic Chris Farley was originally set to voice the

role of Shrek, but died of an overdose of cocaine and heroin halfway through

recording his lines. Former SNL co-star Mike Myers took over the role, and asked

to re-record his lines halfway through, because he wanted to use his Scottish

accent for the character.

Blizzard and Activision

"The BBC reports that Blizzard and Activision have announced an $18.8bn merger. Activision's CEO, Bobby Kotick, will become the head of the joint company, while Vivendi, Blizzard's current parent company, will become the largest single investor in the new group. Even with the size of the merger, the combined company will still be smaller than the industry giant EA. 'As part of the merger plan, Blizzard will invest $2bn in the new company, while Activision is putting up $1bn. The merged business will be called Activision Blizzard ... Vivendi will be the biggest shareholder in the group.'"


The companies behind Call of Duty and World of Warcraft are merging in a deal which could shake up the global video games industry.

Activision and Blizzard have said they will form "the world's most profitable games business" in a deal worth $18.8bn (£9.15bn).

US-based Activision also makes hit console games such as the Tony Hawk series and Guitar Hero.

Nine million people pay a monthly subscription to play World of Warcraft.

'High-growth industry'

Blizzard is the biggest player in online gaming and World of Warcraft is the global market leader of what are known as massively multi-player online role-playing games, or MMORPGs.

It is currently owned by the French media group Vivendi.

As part of the merger plan, Blizzard will invest $2bn in the new company, while Activision is putting up $1bn.

The merged business will be called Activision Blizzard and its chief executive will be Activision's current CEO Bobby Kotick. Vivendi will be the biggest shareholder in the group.

Jean-Bernard Levy, Vivendi chief executive, said: "This alliance is a major strategic step for Vivendi and is another illustration of our drive to extend our presence in the entertainment sector.

"By combining Vivendi's games business with Activision, we are creating a worldwide leader in a high-growth industry."

Different strengths

The two firms are hoping that their different strengths will combine to form a business which is powerful on every gaming platform and in every territory.

Blizzard is strong in Asia, where its Starcraft series has proved hugely popular.

Starcraft, a strategy game first released in 1998, is played by millions of South Koreans in gaming cyber-cafes, and by professional gamers on television.

Activision has developed a presence on all three new generation game consoles - Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii - with franchises such as Spider-Man and X-Men.

The games software industry has been through turbulent years, with companies changing ownership and going in and out of business in rapid succession.

Activision was formed in 1979 and went through bankruptcy and a series of alliances and mergers before becoming successful.

Blizzard had been through a number of owners before ending up in the hands of Vivendi in 1998.
