Animation of a grimacing bearded man in a yellow and green doublet holding up a purple flower. Figure in a pink beret and ruff purses their lips and stands to the side. Caption. With the juice of this, I'll streak her eyes.

Part of the "Shakespeare: The Animated Tales" series. The beauty of cel animation is that it can make the implausible seem possible. So the spirits of the haunted wood and the bewitching transformations of Titania, Oberon, and the innocent tradesman Bottom come to life with a treatment that complements Shakespeare's spectacular imagery.
