What Parents Need to Know
About Shrek the Halls
Parents need to know that while there's less adult-oriented humor and fewer innuendoes in this half-hour holiday special than in the full-length Shrek movies, you can expect plenty of the usual potty humor -- burping, gas passing, nose picking, and vomiting (the latter of which is limited to a chocolate chip from Gingerbread Man's upset tummy, but it's quickly eaten by Donkey).

Crude and funny Christmas special for the whole family
Sexual Content (Not an Issue): A brief, mild innuendo that will go over kids' heads. Violence (Pause): Comic violence includes kicking, slapping, a gingerbread woman being eaten, and Shrek being set on fire. Language (Not an Issue): None. Social Behavior (Not an Issue): Shrek is initially a bit of a scrooge, and his friends make a mess in his home. But Shrek learns to be hospitable and kind to them, no matter how annoying they may be. Crude humor occurs often. Commercialism (Not an Issue): Part of the Shrek franchise. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): None.
