What happens
Beowulf is a 2007 American animated Epic fantasy action film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, loosely based on the Old English epic poem Beowulf, and featuring the voices of Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright, Brendan Gleeson, John Malkovich, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman, and Angelina Jolie. The film depicts a modern interpretation of the poem, with certain changes to aspects of its story. It was produced by Shangri-La Entertainment and Zemeckis's ImageMovers and features characters animated using motion-capture animation, which was previously used in The Polar Express (2004) and Monster House (2006). Beowulf premiered at Westwood, Los Angeles on November 5, 2007, and was released theatrically in the United States on November 16, 2007, by Paramount Pictures, with Warner Bros. Pictures handling international distribution. It grossed $196.4 million and was generally well received by critics, though there was criticism towards its deviations from the original poem.
