"Yes, what you've read is true -- this collection offers only the FULL-FRAME versions of both films, no widescreen. The Spanish 5.1 audio for the original is now just in 2.0 stereo, and while the bonus disc is nice, you won't find any really well-developed features that last very long. If you want Shrek 3D (only 15 minutes), then buy it used with the original full-frame Shrek for a cheap price, since this is the ONLY way to get this short-film so far. The movies do deserve 5-stars, even in full-frame, but the lack of extras and no widescreen version of the the two feature films knock this pacaked down one star. If you just don't like widescreen -- this is the ultimate package for you. Everyone else will need to buy them individualy to get want they want. Sorry, hardcore fan."
Wait for 5-movie collection of Shrek

"If i remember correctly, Katzenberg was quoted in an interview stating that Shrek was planned as 5 movies in total. 2 are available so far. 3 movies more to go. The last movie is supposed to deal with how Shrek came to live in the swamp (prequel story).
Anyways, instead of double-dipping, we just have to wait until all 5 movies are out in a super-duper collector's set. And this time, hopefully, Dreamworks will get it right and release separate WIDESCREEN and fullscreen versions."
No Widescreen Edition

"If you like your dvd's in widescreen, don't buy this 4-dvd collection since "Shrek" and "Shrek 2" are only in full frame. If Dreamworks Home Entertainment wants our money, this should also be released in widescreen. The packaging is great and a wonderful addition to my dvd library but AGAIN the films are only in full frame (excluding the 15-min Shrek 3-D film). Dreamworks should know better."
Be sure you want full-frame

"One of the reviewers comments that the Dreamworks website shows that the set is widescreen. I can't find that information on either dreamworks.com OR Shrek2.com But if you check out http://movieweb.com/dvd/dvd.php?678149194227 They seem to have the information correct and it looks like only the 3-D feature is in widescreen. THAT is going to stop me from buying this set. "
The story so far... but only for small screens !

"When Dreamworks released the first Shrek movie a few years ago, they bundled both the Full Screen and the Wide Screen versions in one single package. This time around I believe they have become a little greedy because the only widecreen version included is the short Shrek 3D film.Very disappointing. A Deluxe box set should be... Deluxe !"
