The earliest court actors were likely clowns who pantomimed, danced, sang, and performed comedy. It was performed by costumed dancers, and frequently pantomimed Roman and Greek themes in them. Freddie could be either a speaking character or totally pantomimed. The actor selected scenes that were largely pantomimed, eliminating the need for explanatory titles. Moore took his on-stage persona very seriously and often pantomimed being a cat. All story development is shown through pantomimed animated cutscenes.
