Reviews
Dan and Lienors Torre continue their invaluable contribution to the histories of Australian (and international) animation with this fascinating study of Alexander Stitt's utterly unique cult classic Grendel Grendel Grendel (1981), its production and circulation, and its themes and resonances as a 'reanimation' of Beowulf's monster. * Stephen Morgan, Screening Coordinator, Menzies Australia Institute, King's College London, UK *
