So here we have the chief called Tonnabrix, the bard called Stopthemusix and Getafix called Panaramix The animation is solid it's not flashy but it is similar to the books and works quite well. A minor complaint is that many of the characters don't use the same names that are used in the English books. ![]() It's not rocket science, but for fans it's important. The story remains quite faithful to the book and even manages to have quite a lot of the pun and wit. One of the first Asterix films and sets a solid standard for the rest.
