Shrek the Third - DVD Bonus Features

Shrek the Third has turned out to be a huge holiday title for 2007, and the pressure to buy the ultra feature-packed HD version is intense. Both versions of the movie have some fun bonus features, but the HD DVD contains some extras as well as interactivity and awesome looking menus. I have to admit, I was impressed from the moment I saw the first menu screen. The computer animation looks great in HD, and the added features are entertaining.
