    • Trivia
      "The Place That Sends You Mad" is not all that anachronistic. The Roman empire, especially its later eastern part (Byzantium) was famous for its over-complicated and heavy bureaucracy. All that red tape was partly responsible for the empire's fall.
    • Goofs
      When Julius Caesar lists the Twelve Labours of Hercules, several of them are wrong, namely Hercules killing Geryones and Diomedes and Hercules freeing Theseus from the underworld. Hercules killed Geryones while having to steal his cows; when Hercules had to steal Diomedes's men-eating horses he fed Diomedes to the horses; Hercules went into the underworld to capture the multi-headed dog Cerberus, during which he also rescued the captive Theseus.
    • Quotes

      Additional Voices: Brutus, stop playing with that knife. You'll end up hurting someone.

    • Crazy credits
      The Studio Idefix logo is in the form of the MGM logo, but it features Dogmatix in the logo and bears a Roman laurel wreath; the Latin inscription reads "Delirant isti Romani" ("These Romans are crazy.")
    • 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 Bavarian.

    One of the best animations of its time

    In the past couple of days I've been speedwatching all major cartoons of asterix and obelix, and I must say that this one is at par with the great classic ones of Disney. Sad that nowadays Disney renounced their old masterpieces, which is obviously a stupid (at the very least) thing to do. This is the best Asterix animation right until mansions of gods and might be even better. Highly recommended for all!
