DreamWorks Animations’ Shrek the Third is now available on HD DVD and standard DVD. If you plan on getting it, try to get it this week. New releases tend be on sale during their first week.

The DVD version includes hours of bonus material such as “Shrek’s Guide to Parenthood,” where viewers receive parental advice from Donkey, Puss in Boots, Pinocchio and Gingy. Another cool feature included is “Shrek Shmash-Ups,” which allows viewers to choose and mix scenes from all three Shrek films and put them to music.

The HD DVD version includes a number of interactive and web-enabled features. “The Animators’ Corner” is an interactive, picture-in-picture experience featuring storyboards relevant to the scenes on screen. “My Menus” are customizable character-themed menus; “Shrek’s Trivia Track” features pop-up fun facts; and “Donkey’s Digital Coloring Book” is an interactive coloring book that allows viewers to digitally paint their favorite scenes.
