Shrek

Shrek

The Shrek Soundtrack is the official album accompanying DreamWorks Animation's 2001 film of the same name. Released by DreamWorks Records in May 2001, the soundtrack features a collection of licensed contemporary songs spanning pop, pop rock, and alternative rock styles. It marked a significant departure from traditional animated film scoring practices, as Shrek was among the first mainstream animated features to prioritize licensed tracks over original orchestral compositions—a notable shift from the compositional approach that had dominated animated filmmaking during the preceding Disney Renaissance period.
