If you loved The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, try Shrek the Halls

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Gary Trousdale, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Shrek the Halls is

Swamp, winter solstice, icicles forming. A grumpy ogre promises a perfect Christmas, Donkey and friends arrive uninvited, chaos ensues. Gary Trousdale brings Christmas chaos to the swamp.
