NIGGERS

Saw that big ass box at the Goodwill, and thought they same thing. I never knew the VHS version was so big since I bought it on DVD when it was first released.

That was the one bundled with shrek 3d. The glasses were in there.

The special edition came with extra box.

what happened to her?

TOLD

The same thing that happened to the rest of the cast of Shrek.

That's how they get you. Make you pay for extra box.

Liar, they didn't have anything in that side compartment.

rate these big boxes I own

That's a good point, maybe they fucked up on the sizing of the box or something?

What are you talking about? Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy both oh wait hang on

Did you DARE to watch them?

I always thought there was supposed to be a toothbrush in there.

Those tapes are extra protected.

8.9/10

I remember this. I have no idea.

Thanks

Oldfag here. Bigger boxes makes them harder to steal. The first cds I bought were like pic related

how many discs in them? 2?

The box was about twice as big as a cd but there was only one in there.

Is the Shrek curse real?

Same reason porn VHS's came in that size. Because the tube of lube makes it easier to go and fuck yourself.

ah.

at least some covers took use of that long box like the Dino Jr one, it looks great.

This might be the only legit answer in this thread, though it's weird that the Shrek VHS is the only one I remember being shaped like that.

But that isn't true. Big boxes were certainly a thing in the VHS era but mainly to just show off bigger/better artwork so you'd buy/rent the movie. I mean a BB caught your attention more than a slipcase did. Whoever released Shrek was jut trying to capitalize on that (I wouldn't call it a BB though, more like a mix between a book box and big box) even though at the point it came out BBs were being phased out.

I'm this user Look at these, it's the same cover but the BB obviously stand out more, now picture this on a shelf off 100+ tapes, even if it just the spine showing.

It was just for marketing and to take up more room. It's not like anyone who worked on the movie said this has to be done.
