Why We Rated This on for Ages 6 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    It's all fine.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Very young kids might wonder about "Little Drop of Poison" by Tom Waits.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Squeaky clean.

  • Consumerism:

    Younger kids might miss the tongue-in-cheek delivery of "Fairy Godmother Song" ("With a flick of the wrist and just a flash/you land a prince with a ton of cash").

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Nothing to worry about.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Shrek 2 Soundtrack

Parents need to know that this is a delightful soundtrack from a delightful movie. Very young, literal-minded kids might have questions about Tom Waits' deliciously evil "Little Drop of Poison," or miss the tongue-in-cheek ethos of "Fairy Godmother Song." But that's nitpicking -- it's all good clean (but interesting) fun. A great CD for road trips because it's kid-friendly but also entertaining for the adults.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 3.0

    Hard to explain

    This is hard to explain... some of the songs get kind of old after the first time the chorus is sung. I think they should have chosen better known artists... but other than that it's pretty good.
