Fun romp through antiquity

Amazing adaptation of ancient source material! I was really reminded of Monty Python (without the cringeworthy out-of-touch humor). The dead guy was hilarious, the musical numbers were so good - I couldn't get them out of my head. I was amazed at the quality of the production, given that these are amateur actors/filmmakers/you-name-it. I loved the sand art, this was a really beautiful artistic touch.

I wonder what the next sequel will be? Maybe Aristophanes' "The Clouds"? I really look forward to what these creative filmmakers come up with next. I'll be the first in line at the movie theater!
