Caeser had alot of gaul ( but he didn'thave it all). Hell, I love it already

Discovered Asterix in the secondary school Library when I was about 12 (in 1984 ; that and Tin Tin). God I was so excited to get my most recent 'borrow' home to read it. The discovery was a bit of a fluke; I knew nothing about the books, but was immediately hooked on the first reading. I forgot just how hilarious Asterix the Gaul was, and pleasantly surprised to see that the comedy translates very well in cartoon.

Funny how they look so off model here, but this is actually what they look like in the very first comic book entry, with the same title. Uderzo drew them here for the first time and his artstyle evolved as the books were following. Compare this for ex. with the 85's movie Asterix against Caesar. That movie might be way more high budget but it depicts Asterix and Obelix more as they currently look. The difference is night and day :)

The characters are not that sloppily drawn in any of the panels. The basic character design of any of the main Asterix characters hasn't really changed that much for dacades anyway. But this film is just atrociously drawn and animated. And yes, Uderzo did not like this movie exactly because the design and animation looks cheap. That's the exact reason why he insisted to be more involved in the film Asterix and Cleopatra. While even that film is not the best example of quality design and animation it is a stark improvement over this one.

Thank you for this.

I love this series. I wish, though, that they didn't change the names of the characters (Getafix to Panoramix - the druid, for example), or the dialogue. The English version of it is already hilarious, the changes made it less so. Example: When Asterix was told to be 'loquacious', the line in this movie became "I will surpass their loquacity..." (to that effect), but in the book, he said, "I will loquace as no one has ever loquaced before..." . I think the latter dialogue is funnier.

Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge didn't start translating the books proper until 1969, and this was 1967. At least they got some of the names right- an earlier dodgy-er English adaptation translated Asterix and Obelix to "Little Fred and Big Ed" (!)

On a French exchange in the '80s, my room had the complete set of books - in French. By the time I read them all, I'd do a double-take wondering if I'd just read some English. Still can't see Asterix throwing a punch without thinking "PAF!"

thought this was just a clip until i saw the duration of the video

French car-toons best listened to in french because those have play on words...loads of. missing them all in other languages. still fun though.
