The Animated Shakespeare
''Shakespeare: The Animated Tales'' (also known as ''The Animated Shakespeare'') is a series of twelve half-hour animated television adaptations of the plays of William Shakespeare, originally broadcast on BBC2 and S4C between 1992 and 1994. The series was commissioned by the Welsh language channel S4C.

Shakespearean Comedy
In the First Folio, the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies; and modern scholars recognize a fourth category, ''romance'', to describe the specific types of comedy that appear in Shakespeare's later works. Plays This alphabetical list includes everything listed as a comedy in the First Folio of 1623, in addition to the two quarto plays (''The Two Noble Kinsmen'' and ''Pericles, Prince of Tyre'') which are not included in the Folio but generally recognised to be Shakespeare's own. Plays marked with an asterisk (*) are now commonly referred to as the '' romances''. Plays marked with two asterisks (**) are sometimes referred to as the '' problem plays''. * '' All's Well That Ends Well**'' * ''As You Like It'' * ''The Comedy of Errors'' * ''Love's Labour's Lost'' * ''Measure for Measure**'' * ''The Merchant of Venice**'' * ''The Merry Wives of Windsor'' * ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' * ''Much Ado About Nothing'' * ''Per ...

Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Studio; it also operated under the names the Walt Disney Studio and Walt Disney Productions before changing its name to the Walt Disney Company in 1986.

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.
