Julius Caesar (Shakespeare: The Animated Tales)

Julius Caesar is a 1994 part of the Shakespeare: The Animated Tales series. At just 25 minutes, it leaves out a lot, but what's there maintains the play's language and order. It'd be a good first introduction, I think.

      There's a whole series from the 90s. It aired here on HBO, which I don't think we ever had so I'm just now coming across them.

    I wonder if they had school kids in mind when they made this one. Happy Groundhog day.

      Definitely! It was the first Shakespeare for children (at least I think it was).

      I've often wondered what Shakespeare would be like in another language.

      Yes, I agree. You get the language and the basic plot. A bit like Charles and Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare does in book form.

    Maybe I should watch this and learn a bit about Shakespeare. Never been able to get into his work.

      I've been trying to think which one I'd recommend to someone who wasn't into Shakespeare, and this might be just the one. Any of the ones where the plot is generally known and some of the phrases would be recognized :)
