The beauty of cell animation is that it can make the implausible seem possible. So the spirits of the haunted wood and the bewitching transformations of Titania, Oberon and the innocent tradesman Bottom, come to life with a treatment that complements Shakespeare's spectacular imagery.

Shakespeare Animated Tales. Hamlet.
Rating

All animation techniques are painstaking, but that of painting on glass is especially so. This unusual medium succeeds impressively in capturing the ghostly presence of Hamlet's father and the agonized indecision of Hamlet himself, in this classic depiction of corruption and revenge.

Shakespeare's dramatization of the alliances and intrigues that surrounded and finally destroyed the great Roman General is rendered with style and subtlety by superb cell animation. This study of personal power versus the good of the state is still as provoking as ever.

Shakespeare Animated Tales. Macbeth.
Rating

The all-enveloping evil of Shakespeare's bloodiest work is captured with arresting and graphic intensity by powerful cell animation. Awash with murder, madness and dark forces, it is easy to understand the superstition that causes those in the theatre to refer to Macbeth with an unusual respect.
