Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is one of the funniest and most touching stories ever written. Told here by puppeteer/filmmaker Steven Ritz-Barr with Michael York as the voice of Don Quixote. QUIXOTE is the story of an aging Spanish gentleman in 16th century Spain who reads so many books about chivalry that he imagines himself to be a knight back hundreds of years in the middle ages.
