@@Valentiskit22kit Zemeckis never spoke of it but Crispin explained that he just... politely never brought it up either and they were cool. Bob Gale is the real mf who doesn't let things go, which is funny since Crispin did nothing to him 🤷
honestly, the 2007 films take on it and the spin on the story is so damn interesting, i wish there was more, sadly i think the beauty and greatness of the film too is how it closes up so there is no need for more, the tale of beowulf is told but DAMNNNN like lore-wise it's so fkin good i would honestly say this is one of my favorite stories told, legit - haven't watched this movie since release era when i was younger and watched it this morning on a whim, was so so impressed
@@cj-vp9rf It was the best depiction of beowulf we ever got. It may have strayed a bit from the poem but it was still amazing. I still watch it now and again ❤
"it may have strayed a bit from the poem, but it was still amazing" you put it perfectly, without disrespecting the source material. Fully agree. This film is NOT appreciated enough, especially for the time it came out. It did something only a select few movies tried at the time@@tenyearsinthejoint1
I do like how in this film they even went a step further by having the characters speaking with Danish accents as most film set in Europe tend to just use British accents for the characters regardless of which European country it's actually said in so I've got to say fairplay to trying to be accurate by having them all speak with Danish accents
Robert Zemecus is an outstanding director with loads of original films under his belt. The way he films and overall sense in directing is god level. He's worth a google!!!
One of my favorite movies. Just rewatched it for the first time in years. Crispin's acting in this film is really something rare. One of my favorite vocal performances
The difference was using a motion tracked camera. 90% of CGI is lighting, camera movements and real life references. Thor CGI for example was a mess because the sets from where they would then make the CGI were all wrong.
@@fockingreat1125 these behind the scenes look they really did well in making the movie, kudos for the actors and the staff member team who made the movie.
Odd use of the word "enlighten" there. It's supposed to mean "to give knowledge." I don't know how you could use any movie to give a childhood knowledge. I don't know how you could give a childhood knowledge at all! Can childhoods even HAVE knowledge, in the first place?
He didn’t have the physique for sure. But Ray f***ing Winstone…he has presence. He had the voice. Even if Hemsworth took on the role, in my book, he’d have massive shoes to fill. I LOVED Winstone as Beowulf.
@ 0:26 Zemeckis says "this has nothing to do with the Beowulf you were forced to read in highschool." He's right, it's a retooled version of the 1999 film, from which Zemeckis, Gaiman and Avery lifted half of this film... really though? It is the Beowulf you were forced to read in highschool, which is exactly why they were able to lift so much from the 1999 version.
I wish there was more footage behind the scenes.. this was great to watch and its one of my favorite movies of all time , ive probably watched it like 1000 times since it came out and never get bored!
The Polar Express is not dated. It looks way better than you think. Mars Needs Mom looked bad because of the different director. I don’t know why you chose The Polar Express as dated.
How come Steven Spielberg has never made much movies with mocap animation, except for The Adventures of Tintin? Spielberg should start doing the same animated mocap movies as Robert Zemeckis and open a new company called “Amblin Digital”.
The grendel is very, very ,VERY CREEPY. This monster scare me ever i watch the film. Great monster. The vibe is creepy, confusing, strange (very strange) the body is disgusting, the creature is so high, have disturbed fellings like someone with mental problems, your reactions is very crazy, the screams is more treble then low... the grendel is very strange and disturbed creature. One of better monsters i seen in films.
No, bet if it was live action they would have picked Hemsworth. When shooting a CG, mocap film like this, they choose actors based on their voices, and facial expressions, how they look doesn't matter... obviously.

Robert introducing Ray: "this is ray"

I never picked up on that lmfaoo ray what 😭
Rays 5’9 lol
Amazing how great Crispin Glover is in this, it's hard to believe Grendel was played by the same person as George McFly.
What s amazing is...crispin and Robert zemeckis did not get along on back to the future and for some weird reason..they back on this movie. Surreal.

Great actors, great sound and production. Masterpiece. Why don’t they make movies like this now?

In the 2000s CGI advanced at rocket speed, just two years later Avatar got released…
The difference was using a motion tracked camera. 90% of CGI is lighting, camera movements and real life references.
Thor CGI for example was a mess because the sets from where they would then make the CGI were all wrong.
I adore this film. Thanks a lot for this video!
Aw, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for uploading this! Love the behind the scene stuff, same goes to any movies i.e Lord the the Rings.
Same lmao, it's good stuff
@@fockingreat1125 these behind the scenes look they really did well in making the movie, kudos for the actors and the staff member team who made the movie.
why is crispin so good though. such an artist.
Man's role was 70% agonized screaming and sobbing and he rocked it fr fr
Amazing actor! No other actor had made me feel their pain the way he did in this movie.
how hard can it be to scream sob and whimper
@@cjvaye99 convincingly, in an international movie, while making it completely agonizing? I'd say very hard.
Literally man. His vocalisations are insane
The most underrated movie in history
Love this movie I could watch it all the time
Epic sound track, sticks in my head every time I hear it
Omg that makeup artist is gorgeous!
C'mon man, it's 2022, you can let the whole world know you're a Carpenter, no one will judge!

Thank you so much for this. An amazing spectacle of my childhood - a piece of art even more deserving of admiration in my adulthood ❤
My favourite animated film, epic soundtrack and a tragic tale
He didn’t have the physique for sure. But Ray f***ing Winstone…he has presence. He had the voice.
Even if Hemsworth took on the role, in my book, he’d have massive shoes to fill. I LOVED Winstone as Beowulf.
Chris Hemsworth?
@@jimmymccartney2049the lesser Hemsworth
Hemsworth couldn’t even play Thor properly yet could play veteran Tyler rake in extraction!!
Ray's got one of those voices you wouldn't soon forget. Loved him as Beowulf

Shut up
always my go to movie ❤❤❤❤
IT SPEAKS!
I adore performance capture, and would like to make a performance-capture animated film or two of my own someday.
I wish there was more footage behind the scenes.. this was great to watch and its one of my favorite movies of all time , ive probably watched it like 1000 times since it came out and never get bored!
someone needs to make a meme compilation out of this
New video idea 🤔🤔
this movie deserves the Avatar cgi upgrade that it dream to be
10:03 Brendan Gleeson hear looks exactly like his character Wiglaf
That’s crazy that Crispin Glover was Grendel. 😅
Best movie ever
Crispin Made the frikkin movie 🎉
We need to see Robert Zemeckis make I come back to doing these motion capture animated films with maybe an Adaption of Wind in the Willows
Yeah there are so many movies that won't work as a live action that would ve perfect for this animation, especially with today's technology.
Is this the movie which looked like a video game?
Love this, but they left out the BEST part......A. Jolie.
Not a SINGLE scene of Angelina Jolie🥲🥲
That’s literally what I came for!
Ooh! She’s invisible!
Crispin was born to do this role.
Ray Winston is straight out of a Guy Ritchie film😭😭
T POSE
Neil Gaiman also worked on this movie as a writer
Having this for literature subject \( ᐖ)/ I enjoyed the film ! ! esp it was written by Neil Gaiman as well hehe
wow just wow !!!!!!!!!
Good old Ray Winstone 😅
Respect to all of theme.
Woow. i respected this movie now. it was very hard filming.
Looks like everyone is hhavinga blast making this movie
20:13 Neil Gaiman young 😢😢😢
Bro i did not think they made this film I recommend to most people like that
they say...u have a monsta he!....🔥
They have to make a live action movie based off this one
Music: Alan Silvestri(2007)
Lyrics:Glen Ballard
Is that Tom Hanks?
Robert is so awkward lol
I’m glad that the animation has aged much better than the Polar express and mars needs moms

What a job. I would love it
I actually would love to do motion capture
For a 2007 film looks amazing, they even animated the horse haha
i want more "short" tale movies of Zemeckis and less movies about PINOCCHIO
I tought Beowulf is Sean Bean but Ray Winston play him.
Surprised Andy Serkis wasn't involved in this in some way.
The grendel is very, very ,VERY CREEPY. This monster scare me ever i watch the film. Great monster.

I can compare this to a PS3 graphics. Or early PS4.
Glover is awesome! He should have been Gollum
Tom Hanks involved wow
1999

Beowulf (2007) is very bad, A Christmas Carol (2009) is beautiful
I bet if Chris Hemsworth was well known at this time he would of been Beowulf instead of this guy who looks nothing like titular character
No, bet if it was live action they would have picked Hemsworth. When shooting a CG, mocap film like this, they choose actors based on their voices, and facial expressions, how they look doesn't matter... obviously.
@@godchi1dvonsteuben770 plus Ray Winstone played the part really well I thought
Ray Winstone looks like Beowulf.
