Reduced Shakespeare Company?

Nice, but I thought the same as above.

Moi aussi.

Das finde ich auch. Nicely done, just beaten to it by this outfit: http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/shakespeare.php

Agreed. Very good they were too when I saw them. Clever bastards.

All this means is the sketch was a good idea, though.

Damn those crafty bastards. Pre-emptively stealing my work. Do I have any legal recourse against them?

Why not do the same sort of thing with Fairy Tales?

May even work better than Shakespeare.

Exactly; like 'The Naked Civil Servant' in 20 seconds.

It's good and I liked it but hasn't it been done before in those online rabbit cartoons? Where they do movies in 30 seconds?
