Shrek the Third A Whopping 81 Minutes Long!
Clocking in at just 21 minutes longer than an episode of "The Gilmore Girls," Dreamworks' upcoming "Shrek the Third" is hoping for repeat viewers.
While describing "Shrek the Third" as "good" and "a worthy successor" to its blockbuster forebears, Katzenberg suggested that his green ogre could have an advantage over Spidey and Pirate Jack Sparrow during the "unprecedented" month of blockbusters.
"We are the only family film, the only PG-rated movie and we are 81 minutes long. That pretty much means we are going to tend to get one-and-a-half to two shows for every one of theirs because they are longer films," Katzenberg said.
While I believe in the "too much of a good thing," theory and don't like my movies to ever push into the three hour range, is 1 hour and 21 minutes really all they could come up with? Granted, if it's a rock solid 81 minutes, I could care less, but it just seems like they could have come up with an extra 10-20 minutes somewhere for the sequel to the highest grossing animated film of all time.

That does indeed just seem ridiculously short, but it's just about the exact same length as one of my favorite animated flicks, albeit not one for the kiddies: "South Park: Bigger, Long and Uncut"
Your observations understandably garner obduracy that otherwise would negate every discredit.
