Majesco and Dreamworks team up to bring you full feature-length films.

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT AND DREAMWORKS ENTER WORLDWIDE AGREEMENT TO LICENSE “SHREK,†“SHREK 2†AND “SHARK TALE†FOR GAME BOY ® ADVANCE VIDEO    


Beloved Animated Movies Join Successful Game Boy Advance Video Category To Deliver The Next Wave In Portable Entertainment    


EDISON, N.J., July 25, 2005 –Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of digital entertainment products and content, today announced a worldwide licensing agreement with DreamWorks SKG to publish Game Boy ® Advance Video versions of the studio’s successful animated movies, “Shrek,†the first-ever winner of the Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature, “Shrek 2,†the third highest-grossing movie ever* and the number one animated film of all time** and the Academy Award®-nominated “Shark Tale.†

Under terms of the three-year deal, Majesco will exclusively distribute videos of DreamWorks’ “Shrek,†“Shrek 2†and “Shark Tale†for use on the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo DS and the upcoming Game Boy Micro.    


“Majesco is delighted to bring these great DreamWorks films to the massive worldwide Game Boy audience of more than 66 million consumers,†said Jesse Sutton, President of Majesco.  â€œThese films have entertained people of all ages on multiple formats and we hope to continue that same success with our Game Boy Advance Videos .†   


“DreamWorks Home Entertainment is excited to be partnering with Majesco,†said  Kelley Avery, head of worldwide home entertainment at DreamWorks.  â€œThrough this new technology, kids can now access the great ‘Shrek’ movies and ‘Shark Tale’ wherever they go.  This is all part of our commitment to find compelling partnerships and expand our audience reach.†   


“Nintendo is thrilled to have these great titles for Game Boy Advance,†says Reggie Fils-Aime, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing, Nintendo of America Inc.  â€œMajesco's ability to offer consumers full-length movies pushes the functionality of Nintendo’s handhelds to a whole new level.â€

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

What an odd statement. Majesco never bothered releasing any of their previous GBA Video's (or games) outside of America and Canada, I doubt they'll start with Shrek.
