Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

I have corrected the spelling of actor Antony Sher's name. (It is Antony, not Anthony)

Erik the Viking was not animated. I am changing the animation stub to a regular one.

[edit] computer game

If anyone knows or can find enough to write a decent article on the computer game then it sounds like a good idea - if is definitely a different genre and worthy of its own article. Iancaddy 03:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

There is barely any information on the game or the movie posted here. Now assuming both get huge overhauls and make them actual articles and not just crappy stubs containing less information than is currently posted, splitting the article will just make two worse articles.

I've made a separate page for the computer game, so this one can be saved for the film. I'm just getting started on Wikipedia so I don't know how good it will be! Hope others will add/alter it as necessary. Zorba the Geek 23:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book

It was predated by a book, too - beautifully illustrated by Michael Foreman, if I remember correctly. Similar in style to Jones's Fairy Tales book. HiddenInPlainSight 14:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The book may be unrelated despite the same title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.8.70.189 (talk) 00:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
