Speaking of Animated Romeo and Juliet
http://featurefilmnews.com/2008/03/26/russia-gets-some-3d-shakespeare/ Last week or so I was all about “Sealed With A Kiss”, a children’s animated version of Romeo and Juliet with sealife. Well here comes another one. This time it’s in 3D! That’s different. Instead of sea lions, we’ll have sparrows and pigeons. Russian ones, to be precise.
Romeo and Juliet, as Soccer Fans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afn6lwPaSjo This video is in Italian (I’m guessing), but there are subtitles. The premise is a retelling of Romeo and Juliet where they are fans of rival soccer teams. Not a bad idea. I guess it’d be funnier if you’re local to wherever the film was made and understand the teams involved.
Romeo and Juliet : Mad Libs
http://library.thinkquest.org/10502/rajlib.htm Have I linked to something like this before? I can’t remember, but it seems familiar. Anyway, you know Mad Libs, right? This is the game where you fill in a name, a verb, an adjective…. and then you read the story you produced. Only in this case it’s Act 4, Scene 5 where the Nurse has found Juliet’s lifeless body. I always thought Mad Libs are funnier if you see the template first, and then deliberately fill in goofy words.
