Even tho he begs for a drop of it, Panoramix wont give it to him. Obelisk fell into a vat of the magic potion when he was a child, and so is infused with the stuff.

It has some funny moments, but does not do justice to Goscinny's writing and comes across as pretty bland. The second one, Astérix et Obélix : Mission Cléopâtre, is truly a thing of beauty, much more balanced and coherent, with great comedy that captures the spirit of the original comic. The only problem is...I don't think a non-French viewer (even if he understands French) would get the cultural references or appreciate the humour, which is very language-based. Anyway, it's good to see a French movie reviewed here, and very nicely if I might add. Keep up the great work !

If you want to see a really great asterix animated movie, you should get 'the 12 tasks of asterix' (les 12 travaux d'asterix). This is my favorite one of every movie thry made. The book is just an adaptation of the movie. Me again. If you want to see a really great asterix animated movie, you should get ‘the 12 tasks of asterix’ (les 12 travaux d’asterix).

American and europeean movies are different, like in comics. The subjects, the style, the acting, are done in a different way. Your are right when you say that it feels different, that' because it is. Oh, and next time you review a french movie, ask me first. After all, i am from french canada :-) The first live action film was a mess, this one is great. American and europeean movies are different, like in comics.
