Hamlet

[faraz69]

Most of shaksperes plays aren't too family friendly. All have murdering and revenge.

[AU6294TX]

Antony and Cleopatra could be interesting. Probably easiest to do with talking animals or the such.

[Morsoth]

Macbeth!!!

They will have to change a lot of things but I would love to see that!!!

i can see an animated antony and cleopatra move comiong from disney. If they did do it, i would like to see it as 2D hand drawn animated, like princess and the frog, i think that would really add to the whole ancient times kinda of mindset.

LOL, maybe disney can put their own little spin on it and make antony and cleopatra talking camel's, or sheep or something, lol

Indeed. I'm hoping contest entrants don't just vote in the poll, but post a comment detailing how the play they voted for could ever be a family friendly animated flick. I'm dying to hear from anyone who votes for Titus Andronicus

Thanks for another giveaway contest Ken, and Blu-Ray.com!

[mrbrat_Boy]

I am voting for Julius Ceasar, Enjoyed the politics, plotting and revenge.

[MrJoeKalel]

Hamlet starring Ham from Toy Story.

[threefiftyrocket]

I said Othello, I think it'd be interesting to see how the themes of that play would be tackled in a family friendly way... Great play, probably my favorite Shakespeare tragedy

[myaddow]

Hamlet.

I get what you're saying, however, Disney has a way to make just about anything fmaily friendly, but if you break down the movie, it just really isnt that friendly, lol

Bambi -cute little bastard offsrping, doesnt know his father, mother gets blown away by hunters, father comes along, forest gets burned down. bambi has bastard offsprings of his own. althugh disney did make it a good movie

pinnochio - lonely old toy maker, childless, makes himslef a puppet child out of desparation. puppet child magically comes to life, what does father do, lets him walk to school on his own which leads to his kidnapping. puppet child gets forced into child labor to make others rich. old man gets eaten up by whale. again disney does all it can to make it family firendly and entertaining.

snow white - poor little princess whose mother died, lives with evil mean step mother, father is off doing who knows what. snow white is set up to be killed by step mother, ends up shacking up with seven men. step mother sets out to kill again, but not entirely by her hand, poisons up an apple, in hopes it puts snow white in deep enough sleep that the seven dwarves would end up burying her alive. again disney makes it a family friendly movie, lol

so my point being, if they can do that to those movies, why cant they do it the others. case in point romeo and juliet, dont they both end up dying at the end, but here we have gnomeo and juliet, lol

I thought 'Gnomeo and Juliet' was great and has garnered a new fascination with Garden Gnomes. That's awesome!

[Tcan21]

Othello

[lucaaugustus]

Et tu Brute? Then fall, Caesar!

Absolutely. It's got ghosts and witches, things Disney has done numerous times in a not overly scary way.

[steelers6xchamps]

I am not much for Shakespeare, but I voted for Hamlet.
