Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay on what makes the music in Shrek so ingenious.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>Shrek<\/em><\/strong> is known for many things. You\u2019ve got your crass toilet humor, not-so-sly digs at Disney, and truly unique computer animation. But arguably the most iconic aspect of the 2001 Dreamworks film is its soundtrack. With memorable hits featured heavily, it\u2019s no wonder that many a millennial cannot hear \u201cAll Star\u201d or \u201cBad Reputation\u201d without it harkening back to cinema\u2019s favorite ogre.<\/p>\n<p>But is there something hypocritical about adoring the <em>Shrek<\/em> soundtrack while lamenting other films with heavy-handed tune selections? If we\u2019re going to complain when other soundtracks are painfully on the nose, surely the same should <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly to\u00a0<em>Shrek<\/em>. And indeed, it is a little obvious to needle drop \u201cAccidentally in Love,\u201d for example, when Shrek and Fiona find themselves accidentally falling in love.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s more to it than just soundtrack selections. The genius of <em>Shrek<\/em>\u2018s music is how its signature score is masterfully integrated alongside the soundtrack. The following video essay takes a look at exactly how the film pulls this off and why the film\u2019s music is not only iconic, but integral to its success.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CWhy_the_Soundtrack_to_Shrek_is_Actually_Genius%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cWhy the Soundtrack to <em>Shrek<\/em> is Actually Genius\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why the Soundtrack to Shrek is Actually Genius\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q7YCTJxfcA4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" data-inc=\"3\">This video about the music of <em>Shrek<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>was created by Sideways, a video essayist whose work goes deep on music, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, and music in movies.
