Thanks for posting these, Ross, they're great. I had forgot the song in Hedwig (should probably give the film another look). And the speech does a pretty good job of realizing/animating Aristophanes (though the undivided androgyne is curiously wrong). There must be a myriad of other productions inspired by Aristophanes' story ... not many, I imagine, as entertaining as these.
