Shakespeare: The Animated Tales

I’ve been watching recently the collection of animated Shakespeare stories called Shakespeare: The Animated Tales written by Leon Garfield and animated by Soyuzmultfilm, the brilliant animation company that served as the inspiration for a number of famous animators such as Hayao Miyazaki. Many of the voice actors and actresses come from the Royal Shakespeare Company and include screen stars such as Jenny Agutter, Brian Cox, Hugh Grant, Martin Jarvis, and Fiona Shaw.

These productions are great and deserve to be much better known. I’ve really enjoyed watching these.
