General
One of several Shakespearean lego movies collected at www.brickfilms.com, an online community "dedicated to the art of stop motion animation," whose main focus is the animation of plastic building toys, or bricks (LEGO, Mega Bloks, Best-Lock etc). These animations have become known as "brickfilms" or "LEGO Movies".
History
The clip was inspired by the 10 Brick Contest (12/2004) in which participants were only allowed to use up to 10 LEGO elements in the making of a creative film. The production date is unknown but the clip was added to the www.brickfilm.com website on 14.02.2005.
