Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream gets a fresh coat of CGI paint in this splashy, award-winning animated feature from Spain. The wow factor is high as Theseus' kingdom comes to life in dazzling 3-D graphics, showcasing lovely but beleaguered Princess Helena, the nutty, lovestruck inventor Lysander, and devilish corporate baddie Demetrius beginning their familiar Shakespearean tangle of devotion, passion and greed. Once the action shifts to the dream world, ruled by fairy queen Titania and a fabulously beer-bellied beach bum Oberon, the visual fun intensifies with terrific sequences featuring magical water bubbles, an ice maze, a floating water mill, a witches' cave complete with a bubbling cauldron of trouble, and much more. While the animation style will be familiar to fans of Shrek, the quirky humor and Puckish delight of the classic tale make it refreshingly unique for audiences of all ages. All ages. — D. Quinones
