Publisher’s Note: As an Australian publication, we would be remiss not to remember Alexander Stitt’s 1981 animated feature film, Grendel Grendel Grendel, an Australian film produced by Philip Adams and based on the novel Grendel by John Gardner. 88 minutes long, voiced by Peter Ustinov, Keith Michell, Arthur Dignam and others, it tells the Beowulf story from Grendel’s point of view with a strong comic slant.
