Alex the Lion and his fellow animals accidently shoot Santa out of the sky and have to take his place in the sleigh. Shrek, an ogre who never celebrated the holiday season before, needs his friends to show him what Christmas is all about. Hiccup the Viking discovers there’s a special reason all the dragons have flown away from their island home. As with all the repackaged Dreamworks Holiday shorts, the best thing about the trio of Christmas stories in this set is hearing the original voices recreate the characters that made the original feature films such big hits. Of the three, it is the one about the dragons, Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury, that works the best, thanks to a strong script and some dazzling imagery. The Merry Madagascar feature is fun, as is the bonus feature, The Penguins in a Christmas Caper. The Shrek adventure, Shrek the Halls, is a bit tired.
