Beowulf

Paula and Daniel went to the cinema this autumn and saw the film Beowulf, an animated movie made from an old English epic poem of the same name. They said it was great. Paula has played music from it ever since and ordered it on DVD as soon as it was available. The DVD arrived this week and we watched it this evening. It was a great movie. The only thing I missed was dogs in leading roles. Beowulf was supposed to be this great hero, yet he had no dog on his side. Well, I guess this is a minor detail to most movie makers. If there were no dogs in the original epic poem, I guess there are reasons not to include dogs in the movie.
