This page contains notes for the game Shrek: Dragon's Tale.

Shrek 2 Soundtrack#

Two of the game's 16 songs come from the Shrek 2 soundtrack:

  • The unused "Family Dinner Waltz" song
  • The "Cure the Dragon" level uses a remix of "The Muffin Man"

Musical Plagiarism#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Anything else among the soundtrack? (additional examples)

As noted on the main page, the soundtrack contains blatant plagiarism of tracks from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, though it's not the only game to suffer this. Below are some examples among the used tracks.

Lost in the Haunted Forest#

Both Part 1 and Part 2 use bits of the Lost Woods tune.
