Given that it’s Shakespeare’s 450th birthday today, these lovely animations seem quite fitting!
Animation house Persistent Peril has partnered with the Globe Theatre to create a fun way for children to learn and embrace about the literary works of William Shakespeare.
“Following on from the Globe Playgrounds launch, the Globe asked us to excerpt a scene from four classic Shakespeare plays and create a series of short 40 second films” they write.
“Excerpting a scene into a fun bite size short without dialogue was a great challenge. Keeping the action on the Globe’s famous stage we find our characters in the midst of a performance”.
Take a look at the mini-animations below, they’re quite cute:
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Romeo & Juliet
Macbeth
The Tempest
