I was looking for the BBC version of the play but instead I chanced upon this;
It does not have the scenes about Bottom and the "play within the play" , actually it doesn't even go there but it covers the main points of the play. I quite enjoyed it. It's light and funny.
I think Shakespeare would have liked it. He's rather a sarcasm lover, always after a beautiful effect of laughter. Never ceases to amuse me even when he's giving the lowest dose of comedy.
It is quite funny, especially the scene where they chase after each other. And it's pretty appropriate for the target audience considering the fact that children wouldn't be able to handle the play's original level of tragedy pattern. It's brilliantly filtered from it!

If we were to ask Shakespeare if Disney could have the right to animate it, he would have said, "No wonder. One Disney may, when many asses do."
Enjoy, Bengisu.
