"This short is incredible, especially if you are familiar with the Bard's plays. Without saying a word, Will, the poor player, really expresses the meaning behind the plays, as well as making us realize what the plays are really all about. It was released on an Aardman compilation video years ago, and I wish I had gotten it then. I love it to this day. It's a shame that this short came out of Aardman at the same time as the first Wallace and Gromit AND Creature Comforts, 2 other brilliant works of animation. I think it's one of the best overlooked shorts ever done...."

The "sunburst" which rotates behind Shakespeare in the "Cymbeline" sequence was not present in the original storyboard nor fabricated for this purpose. Rather, it comes from a clock which was discovered by the director, by chance, in a skip nearby the studio on the day that scene was to be filmed.
