DreamWorks Animation's Shrek franchise is the highest grossing animated movie franchise of all time and it now has an officially licensed pinball machine from Stern Pinball.
Pat Lawlor Design, along with software and rules designers Lonnie Ropp and Mike Kyzivat, designed the Shrek pinball, featuring original art from John Youssi, newly elected Pinball Hall of Fame artist. Mark Galvez and Tom Kyzivat created original dot matrix display art for the pinball.
The Shrek pinball machine’s main feature is Donkey’s mini-playfield, a small pinball playfield that sits in the upper right hand corner. It has mini-flippers that the player controls with the regular flipper buttons when the game is in ‘Donkey mini-playfield’ mode. The mini-playfield has ramps and targets to shoot at while an actual Donkey figurine spins in front of the mini-playfield.
"The Shrek pinball has great depth and is fun and easy to understand for the casual player. This is a great game for both home owners and game operators," said Gary Stern, president of Stern Pinball.
