    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Obelix is seen carrying an axe in his first appearance. It is never seen again. He is satisfied with helping Asterix eat just one boar between them. Obelix is only a peripheral character in the first album, and doesn't truly become Asterix's sidekick until the next album.
    • Goofs
      In the UK version of the film, at the end you can see the English voice cast list, but it's actually Asterix and the Big Fight (1989)'s voice cast.
    • Alternate versions
      As a bonus feature for the German DVD release, each Asterix film was given a new dubbing in a German dialect. This film was dubbed in Saxonian.

    Not as good as the album...

    I read the album then one day later I saw the film.

    Now in comparison to the other albums Asterix the Gaul is no where near the best. But its still good. And with this film it is the same Asterix the Gaul is no where near as good as the other films but it is still good.

    Maybe its the dubbing in the English language version but it just doesn't feel like it all came together. At times it was also confusing. They didn't explain or really animate the rapid hair growth of the Romans very well.

    The animation is not great but Asterix fans and young children should like it...
