![]() ![]() As you can see in the video below, Glidepath already creates moving walkways that can accomplish this. One of the rumored features for the Minions moving walkway attraction is that it will be able to turn around corners. That company designs and installs moving walkways, which are used in everything from airport baggage carousels to moving walkways in aquariums and other entertainment venues. The description says it is for “Equipment Installation,” similar to prior documents filed for the project.Īccording to this document, Glidepath Limited is listed as the contractor for this installation. Today, a notice of commencement was filed with the Orange County Comptroller for work to be done on Building 40, the former Shrek building. It will probably be enough for most people who just want to have a little fun, but even the three minutes of the 'Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party' are more entertaining than this.Villain-Con seen in Minions movie, Video source Those small moments are references and they work, but other than that there is the 3-D, nothing else. There are some funny moments, but they all deal with the less important characters like the Gingerbread Man, Three Blind Mice, Thelonious and Pinocchio. ![]() What is missing in this 'Shrek' film is the wit and the references to other moving images. Shrek is helped by Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and the real dragon. He has a ghost dragon to help him stop Shrek (Mike Myers) who wants to save Fiona. The story sees Fiona (Cameron Diaz) being kidnapped by the evil lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), as a ghost of course, since he died in 'Shrek'. It seems like the makers thought the 3-D element would be enough to make this watchable, but I think most fans of the 'Shrek'-films will be utterly disappointed. 'Shrek 4-D' is a lame excuse to use very popular characters in a 3-D animation for a theme park. The vocal performances were all fine but it's just too bad they weren't given anything funny to say. The entire thing just felt really rushed and overall I thought some of the animation looked quite cheap. I can't speak to how well the effects were as I watched the 2-D version under the title THE GHOST OF LORD FARQUAAD but I can say that neither version had any good laughs. It seems every single scene is just built up so something could go flying through the air towards the camera or a punch is thrown towards the camera. ![]() I understand the original version was in 3-D but the effects were obviously the main focus and there's no real evidence that the filmmakers were trying to tell any sort of good story. From what I read after viewing this thing, it appears this was added as a bonus on the re-release of the first movie and it seems not too many were happy with the marketing process but the film itself is what really should have bothered them. Shrek 4-D (2003) ** (out of 4) Very weak short has the ghost of Lord Farquaad stealing Fiona so Shrek, Donkey and various other characters must try to rescue her. It's definitely worth 13 minutes of your time, but unless you're a completist I don't think there's any need to run out and buy the DVD. I ended up watching the 2D version on the same disc because you can get a better appreciation for the colors & animation. No real story, but there's a lot of nonstop, fun action, a few funny lines, and the waterfall scene at the end is pretty impressive. The story is about Princess Fiona getting kidnapped while Shrek & Donkey chase after her. Perhaps it's just the difference between theater projection and home viewing, but unless you've got a theater in your house you'll probably be seeing it the way I did. I don't know much about 3D technology, but I know that some recent films like "Beauty & the Beast 3D" (2012) are a more enjoyable because the 3D glasses don't tint the colors so much. I can't say I was dazzled by the 3D (and I was watching on a pretty good 60" screen) mainly because the cardboard red & blue 3D glasses, included, are sorta annoying on the eyes and nose. Clocking in at 13 minutes with no other features on the DVD except previews, this would've been better as a bonus feature on the Shrek movie DVD. You're probably wondering if it's worth renting or picking up on DVD. ![]() But that's probably not why you're reading reviews on IMDb some 10-15 years later. When "Shrek 4-D" premiered at Universal Studios in 2003, I'm sure it was nothing short of amazing. ![]()
