Canções de Natal do Burro

A beautiful Christmas mini special! I love Donkey, he's like the funniest character ever, and this mini is all about him and his love for Christmas! A 9/10 from me!

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

Donkey's Caroling Christmas-Tacular (2010)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This spin off from the SHREK series isn't going to win any awards but kids should find it entertaining. At just six-minutes there's really not too much going on outside what the title offers. Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) has a group of friends over to sing Christmas tunes and we get re-worked version of songs like Jingle Bells, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Jingle Bell Rock. Again, I'm sure children are going to love seeing their favorite characters back in this short, although I think adults might not be quite as entertained. I say that because while the re-worked songs here are cute enough, I think the film would have been much better had the original versions been sung. In fact, I'm sure many children are already familiar with the classic originals so even they might have had more fun with them. With that said, the animation is fairly good and there's no question that quite a bit of imagination went into the production. The re-worked songs on their own are quite imaginative as well.

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

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.
