Synopsis:

An Australian animated film based the novel by John Gardiner, Grendel Grendel Grendel features the voice talents of Sir Peter Ustinov, Keith Michell and Arthur Dignam. Completed in 1980 by Alexander Stitt and produced by Phillip Adams, this cult tale is a part re-telling of the epic poem Beowulf, told from the perspective of the great monster, Grendel. Revisionist in part, it presents the other side of the story-the tale of a contemplative monster desperate to find meaning in life. Encountering a fearsome dragon, Grendel must face the possibility that his sole purpose in life is to terrify humanity and leave behind a legacy of destruction and evil.

This is an animated story covering the ancient legend of Beowulf, as narrated by Grendel himself, the 'monster' in the legend.
