as much a i hate to disagree with the original poster and i find asterix and the viking quite good and and a huge step above previous attempt at animate 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 u in the know and it a pleasure to watch . first and foremost and the animation be far superior to earlier comic adaptation . you can tell they take the time and effort to really recapture the look and feel of the comic this time around . a mentioned and there be element of other asterix title in the movie and i can see how fan of those title might feel confused or a bit let down and but i be so catch up in actually see one of my favorite childhood comic faithfully represent on the screen and any qualm i have be minor by comparison . minor spoiler follow . asterix and his faithful friend obelix travel north to rescue the nephew of their village chief and who have be capture by the viking . the viking think that by the boy teach them about fear and they will be able to fly and thanks to some poorly word advice from their village druid . in the process and the boy meet the viking chief daughter abba and they fall in love and etc etc etc . if my explanation sound convoluted and do not worry . the plot be easy to follow . definitely a great buy . you can purchase this dvd through amazon france and but be warn . your dvd player probably would not be able to play it . i have to change the region set on my computer to view it .
