Following in the footsteps of the original Shrek soundtrack, Shrek 2 emphasizes the crossover potential of the movie and its music. Unfortunately, though, the album doesn't have as many surprises as its predecessor; none of the songs here have the same left-field feel as Rufus Wainwright 's version. Shrek is a groundbreaking animated film that delivers laugh after laugh in either the form of snappy dialogue or cute gross out humor (this is a family movie after all). This is a modern day anti-fairy tale that pokes fun at almost every story we ever heard growing up as kids.
Anonymoussaid.Actually, most of 'What Kind of Quest (S10)' WAS used in the movie. (Only the first 21 seconds were unused.) Plus, 'Bad Reputation (A6)' and 'I'm On My Way (A11)' should be right before 'What Kind of Quest,' not after it.ChronoScore Guysaid.I rewatched that section of the film and you are mostly correct. When Shrek asks 'What Kind of Quest' the music (S10:00-:21) should have started as it fits perfectly with the next scene. That occurs after Bad Reputation (A6). After I'm On My Way (A11), the rest of the cue is heard. Thanks for bringing this up.
I have corrected the post to reflect the change.

Shrek (Mike Myers) takes a mud shower and then travels into the woods to hang up signs to keep people away from his land.
Shrek decides to travel the country to see Lord to try to regain his privacy, but an energetic and talkative donkey named (Eddie Murphy) who escaped from who went after him, and was saved by Shrek, tags along. The two make it to Farquaad 's palace in and come across a tournament to decide who will rescue from a castle surrounded by lava and protected by so that Farquaad may marry her.
Shrek and Donkey easily best the other knights, and Farquaad agrees to nullify his order if Shrek goes on to rescue Fiona , a deal that Shrek agrees to.Shrek and Donkey travel to the and split up to find Fiona. Donkey manages to encounter the dragon (; uncredited), sweet-talking the beast to save himself when he finds out the dragon is a female, and she takes a liking to Donkey, taking him back to her chambers. When Shrek finds Fiona, she is appalled at his lack of romanticism. As they're leaving, Shrek manages to save Donkey, caught in the dragon's tender love, and making the dragon become irate, chasing Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey out of the castle, but unable to follow.At first, Fiona is thrilled to be rescued, but quickly becomes disgusted to find out that Shrek is an ogre.
The three make their return journey to Farquaad's castle, with Shrek and Fiona finding they have more in common with each other along the way, and falling in love. However, at night, Fiona doesn't want to camp with Shrek and Donkey, taking shelter in a nearby cave until next morning. The next night, Fiona takes shelter in a nearby windmill. When Donkey hears strange noises coming from the windmill, he finds that Fiona has turned into an ogress.
Fiona explains that she was cursed as a kid and turns into an ogress every night, which is why she was locked away in the castle, and that only a kiss from her true love will return her to her proper form. Shrek overhears them talking, and, thinking that they're talking about him being ugly, walks off angry and heartbroken, believing that she can't accept his appearance. Fiona promises Donkey to not tell Shrek, vowing to do it herself, but when the next morning comes, Lord Farquaad has arrived, led by a still angry Shrek, and he returns with her to the castle, while Shrek returns to the now-vacated.Shrek soon realizes that despite his privacy, he's miserable and misses Fiona. Donkey shows up to tell him that Fiona will be getting married shortly, urging Shrek into action to gain Fiona's true love. The duo travel to the fortress quickly, thanks to Dragon, who escaped her confines and followed Donkey.
They interrupt the wedding before Farquaad can kiss Fiona, but not before the sun sets, making Fiona turn into an ogress in front of everyone. Angry over the change, Lord Farquaad orders his knights to kill Shrek and Fiona, but Shrek calls Dragon and she gobbles up Farquaad whole, making the knights run away in terror while the crowd cheers for the death of their tyrannical lord. Shrek and Fiona admit their love for each other and share a kiss; Fiona is bathed in light as her curse is broken, but leaving her as an ogress, a form that she wasn't expecting, but that Shrek finds beautiful.
