It's not even a week since Thanksgiving, but Christmas special season is well underway on ABC. The network aired the classic Charlie Brown Christmas on Tuesday, and tonight brings our first look at the newest animated holiday special,
Shrek the Halls.
The whole original
Shrek gang — including Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz — is around for this half-hour special, which finds Shrek struggling to get into the holiday spirit. Who would have known Shrek wasn't much for decked halls and mistletoe?
It's the vest. If he had a cape, he'd be a hyper-masculine bad ass in no time.

Last week, I
challenged you to tell me some of the best
airplane movies that have kept you entertained on long trips. Sounds like a few of you have had some good in-flight watching recently! Here were a few of my favorite picks:
Titanic
Bookmarked by
tdamji, who wrote: "Not only is this 3 hour+ movie great for in-flight-movie-watching due to the great musical score and romantic qualities which can easily transport anyone to another time and place, but it brings back memories for me because I remember watching it during the 8 hour flight to England, my first overseas trip, which was my high school graduation present in 1998."
Uptown Girls
Menthadict checked this one out from 30,000 feet.
Poor Cameron. She recently made an appearance on Japanese TV to promote
Shrek The Third and was subjected to swamp inspired sushi, an escort with drawn-on facial hair, and some woman's mention of her sex(less) life. Luckily, Cameron's a trooper and has that winning smile to fall back on when things get a little too uncomfortable.
This Friday,
Ratatouille hits theaters nationwide, and I can't wait. I'm a sucker for anything Pixar, and I've loved many of the animated family movies that have come out in recent years — especially
The Incredibles and the
Shrek movies. I'll go to the theaters to see these movies even when I don't have a child (read: legitimate excuse) to bring with me.
I hate to see what their children are going to look like. (Thanks for the send,

It is being reported that a children’s advocacy group wants the Department of Health and Human Services to oust Shrek, everyone's favorite ogre, from his role as spokesman spokesogre for an anti-obesity drive.
In the ad campaign, Shrek and his fellow characters urge children to exercise at least an hour a day. The spokesperson says Shrek is perfect for the role as he shows that you don't have to be perfectly fit to be healthy and active.
The
Moviefone website describes the newest
Shrek movie, coming out May 18, like this:
Shrek, Donkey, Puss In Boots and Fiona are back for another fun-and-pun-filled adventure, and this time they're joined by Captain Hook, Sir Lancelot and ... Justin Timberlake as King Arthur?! Long story short: Get ready for some 'Sexyback,' medieval-style.
