DreamWorks registers domains for something called Shrek’s Thrilling Tales

Shrek's Thrilling Tales

While DreamWorks Animation may have no plans for a fifth Shrek film, it does appear to have something in store for the fairy tale ogre, according to several new domain registrations that center around: Shrek’s Thrilling Tales.

On March 19, DreamWorks Animation L.L.C. registered ShreksThrillingTales.com, ShreksThrillingTales.net, ShreksThrillingTales.org, ShreksThrillingTales.co.uk, as well as the dot-info and dot-biz.

I won’t bother speculating on the company’s plans for the names, because the possibilities are endless — a film, a theme park ride, a spin-off, a video game, a musical?

No official announcement has been made by DreamWorks nor do any of the domain names resolve to a web page at the time of this story.

[Update 1 on March 23, 2012, 5:10am Est:. DreamWorks has registered more Shrek-related domain names.  On March 21, it registered the following names: ShrekFairyTaleKingdom.com (Whois) and ShreksFairyTaleKingdom.com (Whois).  Other domain buys on the same day included: ChunkytheDeathcat.com (Whois), ChunkytheDeathcat.net and ChunkytheDeathcat.info.]
