Far Far Away Idol (2004 Video)
7/10
Funny...not hilarious, but funny

Warning: Spoilers
This add-on is certainly worth the few minutes it takes to watch. Each of the characters sings an appropriate song - Charming sings "I'm Too Sexy", Pinocchio sings "Mr. Roboto", and so forth. It's mostly an amusing few minutes. Here's the good and bad: Good: Antonio Banderas can sing, and Puss was the best part of the movie anyway. Donkey's "Disco Inferno" was funny - not as good as the "little mutant babies!" line during the regular credits, but funny nonetheless.

Bad: Simon wasn't that funny. The only line that was remotely amusing was "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince...Charming". The other lines weren't funny, and they were delivered in an amateurish way.

And the DVD doesn't make seeing all the endings easy. To choose a different character as the winner and see their ending, you have to watch the whole thing again. As far as I know, there are only 4 endings: Shrek/Fiona, Puss, and Donkey can win. Anyone else, and a singing double comes on as Simon declares himself the winner and belts out "My Way".

Not bad. Certainly fun enough to amuse us as we watch.
