I found these videos of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” during my research. For ten minutes and kid friendly I think they are pretty accurate. I love how they mix modern English with old age English. The idea is cute, and is a fun way to introduce the show to kids.
The Disney version above focuses on the lovers. It is acurate for being so short and kid friendly. They did not introduce the fairies or band of actors. One thing that confused me was they used the Disney character's names for most of the characters, but Puck and Oberon were Puck and Oberon. Over all I enjoyed watching it and it was a fun break from the books.
