Actually it runs closer to five minutes. I have no idea why they dubbed it "Three Minutes."

It's a comic sing through the play with doodle depictions of the scenes. It's really hilarious, if you're a lover of Shakespeare, or even if you just like the play Hamlet. And the rhymes are cute too. I think Shakespeare would have loved this.

Also, I know that melody but I just can't place it. If anyone recognizes where the original melody came from I'd like to know.

    Hello Virgil.
    I enjoyed that, a new twist on "cliff notes"
    As for the music, it appears to be based on a tune called "Mason's Apron". I learned that from the comments posted on the video.

    Here's a version I found with a fast tempo:
