Dreamworks Stock Down on Lackluster DVD Sales of Shrek2 and Shark Tale (1 Viewer)

Also keep in mind that Shrek 2 is the third highest grossing movie of all time so I'm sure their sales expectations were insanely high.

I didn't really know much about Madagascar when it came, so that's why I didn't see it.. being a PEZ collector, I did buy the dispensers though.

As for Shrek 2, yes it is pretty funny that 35 million copies is a disappointment. I have bought more Pixar movies though, and it all comes down to better storytelling over fart jokes and pop culture references.

Umm...no Shrek widescreen! I lost my copy a few years ago, and I wanted to re-buy it! crap! No wonder I couldn't find it at best buy!

Shad, if you look around used stores you can still find copies of the 2 disc set. They are usually priced anywhere from $10-25 bucks since they are OOP, but is still worth it for widescreen and DTS.

Well, The Shrek 2 DVD was not very great too...

The first Shrek was a double disc release, and for this one, you have to get the fullscreen box set with Shrek and Shrek 3D...

Fans already:

- Purchased Shrek
- Purchased the Shrek Fullscreen + Shrek 3D set
- Sold the fullscreen Shrek!

So now:

- Purchasing Shrek 2 Widescreen
- Purchasing the Shrek Story so Far FullScreen Box Set for the bonus disc
- Sell the extra Shrek 3D, Shrek 2 FullScreen and the Fullscreen Shrek again?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not for me!!! I'll pass on it. They are too stupid.
