Shrek Film Score Music Royalties

This asset earns from music written for the award-winning Shrek film franchise. The catalog generates royalties when the films air on TV, are streamed online, when this music is streamed in the films’ soundtracks and anytime the music plays on Shrek’s theme park rides.

The catalog includes royalties from the four feature films: Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After. It also earns from the holiday TV special Shrek The Halls and any time this music is used in other TV, film, or commercial programming. For example, a scene of Shrek is prominently featured in the 2007 Will Smith movie I Am Legend. Subsequently, this catalog earns a public performance royalty when I Am Legend airs on TV or is streamed as well.

Shrek, released in 2001, is an American animated fantasy comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, it features the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. The film is loosely based on William Steig's 1990 fairy tale picture book of the same name.

Shrek was a box office sensation, grossing over $484 million worldwide. Its success spawned a highly profitable franchise, including sequels like Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After, as well as spin-offs such as Puss in Boots. The franchise has collectively earned over $3.5 billion globally, making it one of the highest-grossing animated series of all time​.

Shrek inspired numerous parodies, memes, and internet content, particularly during the 2010s. Its impact extended beyond traditional media, with fan events like "Shrekfest" and the fan-made film Shrek Retold, showcasing its enduring popularity. The film's innovative approach to humor and animation has influenced a generation of filmmakers and animators, pushing the boundaries of what animated films can achieve​.
