Animated Bayeux Tapestry
Got the head's up on this from the author of one of my favourite blogs, Got Medieval? He's a Ph.D. candidate at Yale and always has enlightening and entertaining things to say about Medieval history and language.
Someone, bless their heart, has animated the Bayeux Tapestry, which tells the story of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. You can see it on YouTube (but of course).
The animation in this is awesome; the horses trot, the castle is built, the arrows fling, King Harold keels over. Make sure to keep an ear open to the entertaining sound effects that accompany all of these events. All in all, quite a bit of fun!

Wow! I love it! (And I love the soundtrack --I think I heard a little Lord of the Rings, Orff's Carmina Burana, AND Gladiator all in one!)
If you like this style of animating non-animated artworks, you might really like the documentary called "In the Realms of the Unreal." (ie: my FAVOURITE doc! I think I've probably gone on about it for great length to you before...!)
hahah thats great Susan. It's clear it was not hastingly done.
