Simpsons Video Here
As a huge fan of The Simpsons, I was thrilled the first time I saw their rendition of Hamlet. I was young at the time and I never read Hamlet, nor knew anything about it. I just thought Hamlet was another boring play that Shakespeare wrote God knows how many years ago.
After seeing this multiple times, I got a good sense of what Hamlet was about. Sure not everything is completely accurate, but the main ideas are there. The first time I read Hamlet in my 12th grade English class I knew a good amount of it. Its kind of unbelievable that I knew as much as I did from a 6 minute clip of a cartoon. Hopefully more of Shakespeare's work find its way into the mainstream. Maybe that way more kids will be interested in it.
