Family Time is Better than Ever at McDonald's this May

OAK BROOK, Ill. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Family mealtime is more fun at McDonald's with McDonald's great-tasting Chicken McNuggets®, made with white meat chicken, and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: DWA) Shrek Forever After™, the final chapter, in theaters May 21†. Shrek and friends are back at McDonald's, and this month, families can purchase and share new, limited-time Shrek Forever After-themed McNuggets of Fun Packs and Shrek collectible glassware and can gain access to unique digital experiences with fun rewards. Kids can also "Shrek Out" their Happy Meal® with Apple Dippers and low-fat Milk Jugs featuring Shrek-themed graphics.

McDonald's Celebrates Shrek for the Whole Family

Each 20-pc. McNuggets of Fun Pack* and 10-pc. Chicken McNuggets will include a McNugget™ of Fun Code** that unlocks fun family games and rewards online at www.mcdonalds.com/mcnuggets. By entering a code, families receive a reward like 25 prints from photo-sharing site Snapfish by HP, a one-night Redbox DVD movie rental or a Shrek flash mini game pack from Activision.

Shrek enthusiasts can also collect four unique Shrek–themed glasses available for $1.99 each with any food purchase at participating U.S. McDonald's restaurants for a limited time while supplies last‡. The double-sided glasses show the Shrek characters in both a familiar way and in a way never before seen and include an additional McNugget of Fun Code for access to the Shrek online games and rewards.

Happy Meal is More Fun with Shrek

To help make eating fruits and dairy more fun, kids can "Shrek Out" their Happy Meal® with Apple Dippers and low-fat Milk Jugs featuring Shrek themed graphics. In 2007, McDonald's featured Shrek on the packaging of Happy Meal items including low-fat Milk Jugs and Apple Dippers and have since seen an increase in the number of these items sold. In addition, as a supporter of Produce for Better Health Foundation's Fruits & Veggies—More Matters® national health campaign and their Campaign for Children's Health, McDonald's now includes the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters logo on the Shrek-themed Apple Dippers packaging. To learn more, visit www.FruitsAndVeggiesMoreMatters.org.

Timed to the Shrek promotion, McDonald's unveiled "Stage M," an action packed, interactive online experience for kids featuring new music videos recorded by popular kids' artists. The videos – found online at www.happymeal.com – use colorful animation and music to engage kids in the taste and appeal of fruits and vegetables.

Talking Shrek Happy Meal toys (available from May 14 – June 10) and distinctive Shrek character watches (available from June 11 – 24) are also part of the excitement, while supplies last, at participating U.S. McDonald's restaurants.
