• A quick example: Shrek arrives just in time at Fiona and Farquaad's wedding, but upon the revelation that Fiona is an ogress, Farquaad orders his men to have her imprisoned and Shrek killed. All seems lost... then Dragon bursts in through the church's stain-glass window, takes a brief look around, before promptly swooping down and eating Farquaad.
  • This immediately gets compounded by Donkey announcing "I've got a dragon here and I'm not afraid to use it!" A content-looking Dragon then burps out Farquaad's crown.
• The assault on the castle in Shrek 2. From the giant gingerbread man to Puss In Boots holding off a dozen guards, all accompanied by an amazing rendition of "Holding Out For A Hero" by Jennifer Saunders.
  • Oh, my God, totally this. This might be the most awesome moment of the entire series.
• The assault on the castle in Shrek The Third, which is fully the princesses' time to shine. Of particular note is the beginning. Snow White hops out and starts singing happily and luring out a bunch of woodland creatures... then her happy trilling turns into the Immigrant Song.
• The Piper's "Shake Your Groove Thing" sequence in Shrek Forever After. Whatever your opinion of this movie, the Ogres, Shrek, and Fiona dancing to that is Crowning Music of Awesome.
  • More Crowning Music of Awesome: in Shrek 2, after everything is neatly wrapped up, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas break out in a perfectly synchronized duet of "Livin' La Vida Loca", a song normally sung by one person.
