Uh, it *is* a boxset of all the movies.
I know >_>_>_>
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

Yeah, the whole story would be:
Shrek
Shrek 2
Shrek 3D
Shrek the Third
Shrek the Halls
Shrek the Final Chapter
(or Shrek Goes Fourth)
Puss in Boots
And whatever new featurettes they decide to make.
I tend to agree.

It seems that the box set will be on both DVD and Blu-Ray. Digitally remastered and new extras? Sounds interesting. I'll wait for reviews so I can think about buying the set.

I was already gonna buy the set but this review and screens makes it a definite must, even if I have to add it to my Christmas list, hopefully it's not a big let down set like the Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box Collection :roll:

Better than the Toy Story collection? I'm not sure. I picked up the UK set from the post office this morning and I've given the set a quick look-see and I'm most disappointed with the supplements.

On the plus side, Dreamworks have included more content in their PiP Animators Corner than they usually do, normally just being "plain" storyboards. But... nothing else seem to indicate that any care went into this release. The new featurettes appear on quick examination to be mainly just puff pieces; they couldn't even be bothered to add a commentary to Shrek The Third; Most of the existing DVD features have not been carried over - I'd have loved to have had all the Tech of Shrek supplements included; even the trivia track from the HD DVD of Shrek the Third is missing. Something's wrong when a HD DVD seems to offer more than the Blu-ray! And the Donkey's Christmas Spectacular is a fail of epic proportions.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

I only feel it's better than Toy Story's because it's packaging is actually very good and will last long, as for TS, cheap bad packaging that might last a year and will ruin the discs eventually :P

I agree. The packaging is top notch for the Shrek release. I wish more box sets were given this treatment. Good quality regular sized cases for each movie, and a very nice box to store them in. This set will last, and looks great on the shelf.
