@tryandlisten It's the original name in French. Most names in English are translations of the original, except for Asterix and Obelix, among a few others.
I don't know much about Asterix, but was curious so watching this video. I'm a little confused, he's a Gaul? They were the Celts of ancient France weren't they? I heard he was a viking. Or do I need to keep watching?
@anlonning I suppose I thought he was a viking because I used to see the characters when I was young, and thought his helmet was exclusively a viking helmet. Seems to be an interesting franchise though
He was forced to lay his arms at the feet of Caesar. Literally! OWWW! Asterix sounds kind of old. OW! What hit me? Obelisk sounds kind of retarded. Yum yum roast boar!
I'd read that somewhere. Apparently, they both wanted to get into animation, too, so they finally got their chance to through their own work. Isn't that cool?
I've also read that Goscinny and Uderzo got an adaptation of Asterix and the Golden Sickle canceled because it was going to use the same limited animation. In a way I'm glad they decided to jump to Asterix and Cleopatra since that particular album I feel was the point Asterix really settled in.
I agree! That period in the sixties, where they did Asterix and Cleopatra, Asterix and the Banquet (my all-time favorite Asterix book), and Asterix the Gladiator are, I feel, where the books really came into their own. I think those three books are the best they ever did. They did good books before and since then, but...
Good for them for passing on the Golden Sickle adaption because of low-quality animation! Their work deserves better! Asterix and the Vikings is very well animated.
I LOVE the Asterix books (I own almost every single one) and REALLY like the Asterix and the Vikings movie. I just hate the limited animation in this film.
I have! Probably my favorite Asterix book is Asterix and the Banquet, where they tour all of Gaul (France), buying specialities from every noteworthy town, all the while being pursued by Roman legionaries with orders to be on the lookout for them. The artwork from that period was AMAZING - very detailed.
From what I've heard, this was released in the UK and US before the books were published, so when they translated it, the names they gave were actually very original at the time. When the books came out, they changed the names again, but to better ones. It's a decent enough film, but it still feels shameful because of the fact they were making a movie without the rights. That wouldn't happen today without a billion lawsuits! God forbid they get a hold of my comics without asking!! :)
The first machine used to remove trees from the ground forcibly was called "Asterix", which ran on mistletoe-lobster-potion-stew, not fuel or steam. In fact this "machine" was a person, who created what we know today as "The French Lumberjack".
I just love at around 1:00, how they so neatly changed Asterix presenting the title of the movie into a scene of him and Obelix fighting five Romans. Good work!
@huhtime you do know that in the original (french) and most of the translations it is Panoramix... But I know people get annoyed with things differ with what they remember from their childhood... I for hate the English dubbed version because I was brought up with the dutch dubbed version...
I am here because i got asked a question.It was what was my last book i borrowed from the library and that was back in the late mid 80's.
