Witness the ultimate monster slayer in this stunning 4K remaster of the award-winning animated epic
Long before modern CGI, this 1998 masterpiece set the gold standard for adapting the oldest story in the English language. Written by Murray Watts and directed by Yuri Kulakov, this is widely considered the most faithful adaptation of the original poem—the very same legend that served as the primary inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
