“Harry has done an amazing job helping us fall in love with these characters through his very charming music. On Thursday, the NSO will perform “Shrek” music by Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell. Numerous sequels followed, including “Shrek 2” (2004), which introduced Puss in Boots, “Shrek the Third” (2007), “Shrek Ever After” (2010) and the Broadway adaptation “Shrek the Musical” (2013). It also forced the Academy to create its very first Oscar for Best Animated Film (previously, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” (1991) was the only animated Best Picture nominee). “An incredible beautifully-painted picture what a wonderful score by Hans Zimmer,” Freer said.įrom there, DreamWorks found its biggest pop-culture smash with an ogre (Mike Myers), donkey (Eddie Murphy) and princess (Cameron Diaz) in “Shrek” (2001), earning an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film earned an Oscar nod for Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer) and won Best Original Song (Stephen Schwartz) for “When You Believe,” performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. It all started with the hand-drawn animation of “The Prince of Egypt” (1998), telling the Biblical tale of Moses. It’s a wonderfully unique franchise celebration that touches upon all the fan-favorite moments.”
“The idea here is to celebrate these composers and this great animation. “DreamWorks has produced some of the most memorable animation in recent decades,” conductor Justin Freer told WTOP. The National Symphony Orchestra will play live music set to clips from the studio’s most beloved movies, including “Shrek,” “Madagascar,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “How to Train Your Dragon.” Now, it’s time to gather the kids for “DreamWorks Animation in Concert” at Wolf Trap on Thursday.
