have you guys seen this spread of shrek and company hanging out with some sassy half-naked models in the upcoming issue of VMAN? i’m quite shocked dreamworks actually gave permission to use the beloved animated characters in the first place – especially in a magazine that’s not kid-friendly! of course in the end – the powers that be weren’t very happy with the photo shoot (their statement is below) and someone probably lost their job over this snafu! anyways the last installment of the hit franchise will land in theaters next month – i’ve only seen the first two films – i heard the third one wasn’t all that great – maybe ‘the final chapter’ will be better? popbytes over & out for … xoxo
“While we do respect VMAN’s creative vision, the shoot did not turn out the way originally envisioned when the idea was first presented by the magazine. In hindsight, we would have declined to include the Shrek characters in such a magazine spread.”
