Features a strong ensemble cast including Tim Robbins, John Cleese (as a vicious warlord), Mickey Rooney, Eartha Kitt, and Terry Jones.

Disillusioned by the brutality of his village, Erik (Tim Robbins) sets out on a quest to find the "Horn Resounding" to end the Age of Ragnarok and bring peace.

A children's book version, also titled Erik the Viking and written by Terry Jones, exists, offering a different, highly praised telling of the saga.

Reviews have been mixed, with some finding it funny while others (such as Roger Ebert) found the comic invention limited and similar to a "20th-century satirist" approach. Related Material
