Wotan ripped off the builders didn't he (or vice versa)?

Indeed, who were they and what did they build?

and there is a film Valhalla, about a one eyed little boy

A film, yes. There was a boy (called Boy) but he was binocular as far as I am aware. I haven't seen the film fortunately. You are nearly there.

Frustrated randy dwarf steals Rheingold and makes himself magic ring of power, but has it stolen by Wotan who has ripped off builders of Valhalla. Dwarf curses ring. Builders grab ring and commit fratricide. Wotan's illegitimate children get into incest, he is killed, cousin takes her away to give birth, but Wotan puts cousin to sleep in heated arena. Baby grows up killing dragons etc, finds and falls for auntie, then gets mixed up with toffs and betrays her. She plots his death, but remorsefully suicides, returning ring to the legitimate owners, and causing the end of the world.
Edit: Sorry, that is just the sub-plot!

Excellent, Anna, just about right!

I have my ticket for Opera North's Die Walküre in June. All 5½ hours of it - will I cope?

Yes cloughie, the two giants. Well, do We have the name of the film yet?

Or should I say Mike?

I like this one:

Ageing magnate plunders gold from the orphan's fund to prop up his business empire, while his own kids turn to incest, and his favourite daughter gives up her pony to sleep rough and fall for a happy slapper. It all ends rather enjoyably in a bonfire of his vanities as the gold price plunges

Or simply

Much ado about Nothung

and

From splashes to ashes

My favourite:

Rheinmaidens tease Alberich who steals Rhinegold, enslaves Neiblungs. Wotan steals gold and ring, cheats Giants who built Valhalla (fancy pad, unseen). Twin Seigmund gets sister pregnant, gets killed. Wotan's daughter Brünnhilde fights with Dad, gets ring, sleeps in ring of fire. Siegfried, son of twins, kills childminder Mime, gets spear and Tarnhelm, follows bird up Rhine, wakes Brünnhilde. Siegfried gets ring, dumps Brünnhilde, gets conned by Alberich's son's half brother, aka Mime's step nephew once removed. Who then kills Siegfried. Brünnhilde, having bad news from home, jumps into fire throwing ring to Rheinmaidens.
So? Why?????

You can call me Lionel if you wish!
I was only buggering about! Forgive!! Passing the time, whilst waiting for dinner. A fllm, by Ulmer maybe?

A wonderful way to pass the time! I had strayed on to that BBC web page from "The Ring in a Day" earlier today while researching my V so was alerted. I never listened to it at the time. I did listen to Rheingold over the last couple of days while walking the dogs, as a penance.

If it's as good as the Rheingold last year, the minutes will whizz past and you'll be sorry when it finishes, Flay!

[Flay]

Yes, I agree - I was there too

[Anna]

Dinner is on the way to being ruined, I just knew you guys were trouble the moment I met you!
