Remarkable! 6 Feb 2000
By Luke Hale - Published on Amazon.com
A wonderful animated adaption of the bard's play (Though it may not be entirely suitable for children). The film's startling animation perfectly matches the tone of the play. It is truly a pity that it is no longer on video.

All Shakespeare should be made like this. 20 Jun 2001
By darragh o'donoghue - Published on Amazon.com
This fabulous animated version of Shakespeare's play is second only to Orson Welles. Naturally it is freed from the constraints of the stage and real actors, and there is an exciting paciness impossible in more ponderous live action. But it is also freed from the text; rather, it translates Shakespeare's vivid word-painting into actual visuals, releasing the playwright's multi-layered, intricately textured art from a verbosity unlikely to be understood without studying the play beforehand. Visually, the film is a startling mixture of Greek tragedy, dark Gothic and violent hallucination, and there is a satisfying goriness about the murder scenes, with their dripping aftermaths, you just can't get with clever angles and chocolate sauce.
