Asterix bei den Briten (1986)

Asterix bei den Briten: Directed by Pino Van Lamsweerde. With Roger Carel, Pierre Tornade, Graham Bushnell, Pierre Mondy. The diminutive Asterix and his rather larger companion Obelix, warriors of the last village in Gaul still free after the Roman invasion, set out on a mission to deliver a barrel of their druid’s famous magic potion to help Asterix’s cousin in Britain fight off the invading Roman army.

“Before the British can ask themselves what the Romans can possibly do for them they are not too terribly pleased with the bothersome invasion. Anticlimax, cousin of Asterix, sneaks off to Gaul for help. Getafix makes a barrel of magic potion and Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix courier it back to Britain. Many, many beaten, bruised, and broken Romans make the mistake of getting in their way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe jokes and visual humor just donu0026#39;t stop. Youu0026#39;ll be grinning from ear-to-ear when watching Asterix in Britain. The animation has such a detailed quality to it that the film nearly rivals vintage Disney. The music too, is also lovely. A score CD was produced in France, but itu0026#39;s long out of print. Bill Oddie is the voice of the little warrior this time around, while amusing English stereotypes fill out the rest of cast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA favorite of mine since I was a kid, I first saw Asterix in Britain on BBC2 one Xmas morning. I nearly wore out the tape I recorded it on. My advice, buy the DVD. Even for kids raised on CGI itu0026#39;s a winner.”
