In this video, some characteristics of an epic hero can still be seen. The ‘new improved’ shreck is handsome, tough, and is on a mission to save a beautiful princess. The gingerbread man also is a hero in this movie when he has to help get into the castle. Shreck seems to be fearless when he is trying to rescue Fiona. Beowulf is a hero because he is brave and kills the monster that is plaguing the village with great strength. He has the characteristics of an epic and modern day hero.
