Entertaiment is the state of being entertained or agreeable occupation of the mind. It can range from a personal choice of entertainment, such as the daily crossword puzzle, to a banquet for a few people, or a performance for thousands or even a global audience. The entertainment experience has the ability to inspire and be re-imagined by a broad range of media, including music, film, or video games. For example, the story of Scheherazade, an early professional storyteller in the Persian storytelling tradition, has been re-imagined as an orchestral work by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel; a film by Pasolini; and even an innovative video game.
