I watched Sir Gawain and the Green Knight the Animated Epics 2002. There are many similar properties to the book version and the animated version, but there are a few noticeable differences. To start off the beginning of the animated version they did not have the other knights and the giving of the women. The Green Knight did arrive and offer the challenge to the court and he held out an ax for them to deliver the killing blow. In the animated version and the book version King Arthur was the one who decided to first take the challenge upon himself. When Sir Gawain delivered the head separating blow, however there was no kicking and playing around of the severed body part. Another thing that the animated version did not explain is how Sir Gawain decided not to go and seek the Green Knight until the very last moment. Both version did show how Sir Gawain came upon a man and his home and how he was able to stay with the man and his wife and the older female that was present. The deal that they made to trade the hunt of each day for what was able to be attained in the castle was also depicted in the animation version as well. The animated version of this story was great with the details about each animal that the hunter killed each day that he went out. The kisses that Sir Gawain received from the home owners wife and how he swapped those kisses for the spoil of the hunt was depicted as well. On the other hand a difference that came about in the animation that was more profound in the book is the seduction of the wife of the house to Sir Gawain. In the book version she was very persuasive and in the animation she lacked a little of the luster. When it comes to the 3rd day, as well, when she wanted a gift from Sir Gawain and wanted him to take something from her she offered less items than in the book version. He did accept the green sash and went to the Green Knight’s chapel. Once at the chapel and he had to take the swing from the Green Knight they did express that he flinched on the first swing, but in the book version he states how he will not flinch for the next swing and it made him seem more manly. In the animated version when he flinched they portrayed him as more cowardly and scared. The animated version also fails to show how the one behind the Green Knight was lady Le Fay. Sir Gawain does return to the court with the sash and admits to his short comings and the court does adapt the tradition of wearing the green sash. The main ideas and the moral of the book version of the story where executed well in the animated version even though there where a few changes and omissions from the original.
