The Canterbury Tales (Ovation) (Animated) (Region 2 DVD - IMPORTANT. Read the section below regarding compatability details*)

Earning a nomination at the Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film in 1998, this collection of nine animated tales is cleverly and faithfully adapted from one of the most audacious and astonishing works in English literature. Via cel animation, clay animation and impressionistic drawings, the viewer is transported on a vivid journey to medieval times taking in chivalry, love, lust, the Black Death, rape, deception and chickens.

Introducing a group of men and women from various strands of society on a pilgrimage from London to St. Thomas a Becket's shrine at Canterbury, The Canterbury Tales recounts the stories they decide to tell one another to pass the time on the long journey. The powerful characterisation of each adaptation, from the earthy wife of Bath to the gentlemanly knight, brings Chaucer's prose alive for the viewer and the resulting work is an outstanding melding of supreme artistic talents with a master storyteller and literary craftsman.
