Beowulf LEGO Edition

The English epic Beowulf animated with LEGOs starring my dwarf hamster, Alice 90, as the monster Grendel. If the former Miss Sulewski is showing this to her English classes, thank you!
Took a few days of animation and video editing, but its worth it. My english class just read an abridged version of the story, so I decided to make my own version for extra credit. No animals were harmed in the making of this film, but several LEGO dudes were mutilated...

@LorShew Sure thing! I'm glad people are enjoying it.

We watched part of this in lit. class after watching part of the animated one. We agreed that this was better, accuracy wise. I also liked the hamster :) so, "uh, thanks." as Beowulf said.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. In terms of accuracy, I had spent my 12th grade English class reading a rough translation of Beowulf into modern English, so I was hoping it would be as accurate as possible. However, there are a few anachronistic phrases in there...

Something tells me you saw this in english class. If your teacher happens to be Mrs. Wagener, that wouldn't surprise me.

It's been four years and I'm still mentioned in the credits. You had the last laugh in the end.
