5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite in a Great Series., June 25, 2005

This review is from: Shakespeare - The Animated Tales: The Tempest [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This Tempest is part of a great series of movies which tell the story of Shakespeare plays through cartoons, puppets, and clay figures. The music and wonderful claymation (or is it puppetry--not sure which) in this one makes it my favorite of the series! It is a excellent way of getting a grasp of the play.

This review is from: Shakespeare - The Animated Tales: The Tempest [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Usually after reading a Shakespeare play, I like to show the video. Frankly, I wasn't too sure that my 10th graders would like this short (30 minutes) animated The Tempest. It is a fairly faithful telling of the play. The artwork is outstanding, the music adds to the video, and my students really liked it. (Perhaps if is were longer, it would not be as good.) The best part is that Miranda did not looke like a Disney female character!
