I think the cultural impact it has is that it proofs that adults do want to see a full feature animation in the theater that is aimed for adults and isn’t a kids comedy. Cameron succeeded where Zemeckis failed. Beowulf crawled and stumbled so Avatar could run.
Let’s not forget the extent to which these movies have inspired people to bitch about them on the internet. If that’s not a cultural impact I don’t know what is.

Beowulf animated is dope, though. Anthony Hopkins kills it, as does the actor for Beowulf. And Grendel.
