    Wonderful musical. Great dancing and singing and stuff

    It's ok

    I'm not really a Thriller fan so this isn't for me. The animation's nice and the textures are admittedly cool but as mentioned before, thriller's not one of my favorite songs from the late Michael Jackson so this doesn't really do it for me. Regardless, it's ok to watch. Both kids and adults will enjoy it.

    Halloween short

    Shrek and the gang come out of the theater after watching The Music with Sound. He is furious that he wasted his time on Halloween night. Donkey brings on a sing-along of the Michael Jackson song Thriller. It's a Halloween short. The sad truth is that it's an easy spoof and quite frankly, less fun than the Jackson video. It doesn't even do it right. Shrek and Fiona should be on date night. She should be the one doing Michael. Nevertheless, it's fun to have the characters doing the dance and replacing the zombies in the video.
