I guess this may be one reason why Obelix sometimes feels a bit underrepresented in these films, at least this one here, that the voice actors are no really big names. Tramitz I knw very well too, was that really him doing Asterix? Jacques Frantz, even if he seems to be a successful actor, also internationally, I cannot say a lot about. There is something pretty unique to his voice. Especially Hallervorden was very easy to identify. In any case, the German dub had many really familiar names. I think Forestier is somewhat known in France. As for the voice actors, I mentioned the legendary Asterix performer Carel already and cannot say too much about the others. So really, really many writers here honestly (and directors) for a fairly short film. I cannot really talk about the original, but they cannit be that bad if they worked in the German dub. Good inclusion because I liked the dialogues all in all. One would be the aforementioned Fjeldmark and the other two that focused mostly on the dialogues were also fairly experienced by then already. Goscinny died decades earlier and Uderzo was also 80 already at that point. Goscinny and Uderzo deserve a mention too of course, even if they were not incolved with this film anymore. I like the looks of it, it seemed like a healthy mix of retro combined with new visual standards.

This movie was the eighth animated Asterix film. Even if the Vikings are not more in the center of it all than our French buddies here.

So two Danish directors for a film about Vikings. His co-director here is Stefan Fjeldmark, who had directed a lot before this film too and his Oscar-nominated short film surely may have helped him in getting the part here. Pretty interesting still that this was his first directorial effort overall, but then again he was truly experienced in the animation department at that point already, for example also worked on the Asterix film before that and that was more than a decade ago in the mid90s. Jesper MГёller sure sounds like that, but he has worked on all kinds of international movies over the years. So kinda fitting with the background and characters in here that two filmmakers from Denmark were in charge of the direction here. Just like with the other Asterix films, this is based on a book, a book with the same title I believe. Roger Carel was almost 80 when this was made and he also gave his voice to Asterix back in the 1960s already. The much bigger name is the Asterix actor this time again. He's not foing the voice work here though. I should also add that this is fully animated, which is not really a given if we take a look at Asterix films from the 21st century because of the films that had GГ©rard Depardieu as part of the cast. The title makes it really obvious that this is of course another Asterix movie (I will do without the accent for now) and just like the older ones, it is a pretty short one at under 80 minutes, which is not even the shortest from the series. 'AstГ©rix et les Vikings', which of course means 'Asterix and the Vikings', is a co-production between France and Denmark from 2006, so this movie has its 15th anniversary this year already.

They decide to chase the champion of fear in Gaul to learn how to fly and make them invincible warriors.
