as much as i hate to disagree with the original poster and i found asterix and the vikings quite good and and a huge step above previous attempts at animating everyone favorite gaul. for someone not familiar with the famous comic series and the show would be hard to follow and but for those of us in the know and it a pleasure to watch. first and foremost and the animation is far superior to earlier comic adaptations. you can tell they took the time and effort to really recapture the look and feel of the comics this time around. as mentioned and there are elements of other asterix titles in the movie and i can see how fans of those titles might feel confused or a bit let down and but i was so caught up in actually seeing one of my favorite childhood comics faithfully represented on the screen and any qualms i had were minor by comparison. minor spoilers follow. asterix and his faithful friend obelix travel north to rescue the nephew of their village chief and who has been captured by the vikings. the vikings think that by the boy teaching them about fear and they will be able to fly and thanks to some poorly worded advice from their village druid. in the process and the boy meets the viking chief daughter abba and they fall in love and etc etc etc. if my explanation sounds convoluted and do not worry. the plot is easy to follow. definitely a great buy. you can purchase this dvd through amazon france and but be warned. your dvd player probably would not be able to play it. i had to change the region setting on my computer to view it.
