I just wanted to say that Beowulf has to be my favorite animated movie ever. I didn't even know it was animated going into the theater, then as everything came to life in 3d, I realized that I was watching a cartoon!
Anyway, technology has gotten very impressive over the years, and I was very impressed by this movie, and I recommend people to go see it.

You're one up on me, bgz. I didn't know Beowulf was animated until I heard it from you. I'd heard (from Mark Evanier's blog) Neil Gaiman was involved, but he does so much non-cartoon stuff (loved his novels Good Omens and American Gods, tho I haven't gotten to the new one yet), that's not an indicator one way or the other.
I haven't decided one way or the other to see it, but I'm leaning a little more that way now. Anybody know if a graphic novel version is coming out? That's what decided me on 300. (I stayed home on that one, but then I'm not a big Frank Miller fan. I certainly see the quality in his work, but I'm not really his audience.)
Quack, Don

I recommend if you do see it, see it in the theater in 3d, the effects were amazing. I've seen quite a few of those 3d movies including "Meet the Robinsons". The 3d effects in Beowulf blew away any other 3d movie I've ever seen. The movie has gotten mixed reviews, but I'm a graphics nut, and I like twisted stories, so the movie really worked for me.
As far as Frank Miller movies, the only other one I've seen besides 300 was Sin City (I think), and I really liked that movie.
