DreamWorks Animation will provide two new, Halloween-themed, 3D-animated shorts exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS, as Nintendo bulks up on short-form 3D video content for the handheld device.

The first video is available now and features characters from Monsters vs. Aliens. The second video features the three little German pigs from the “Shrek” franchise and will be available later in October.

“Nintendo 3DS is a powerful platform that allows content creators to reach users on-the-go, and we are thrilled to be working with Nintendo to make some of our DreamWorks Animation 3D content available this Halloween season,” said Jim Mainard, head of production development for DreamWorks Animation.

Additionally, 3net, the joint 3D venture between Discovery Communications, Sony and Imax, will provide short-form 3D video content for the 3DS, including Bullproof, a story about bull riders; “Feeding Time,” featuring real pandas, penguins, lemurs and otters; and “Building the Brand,” a series looking at the creation of iconic products.

“Nintendo 3DS is a great canvas for creativity,” said Tony Elison, Nintendo of America’s senior director and GM of network business. “These videos are premium-quality 3D entertainment and provide a unique platform for our partners to showcase their extraordinary work.”
