The classic Asterix tales arrives on DVD which is based on the
highly popular Asterix character who is a national icon in France.
In
this tale, a nefarious Roman Centurion called Crismus Bonus
discovers the existence of the magic potions which gives our
diminutive hero his special abilities.
Crismus decides to kidnap the druid who created this magic potion in
order for him to disclose the special ingredients. Fortunately for
our unlucky druid, he is joined by Asterix and the two create a plan
to foil Crismus’ attempts with some hilarious results that is
classic Asterix story telling.
Although Asterix was created for children, the animated tales
features a healthy dose of mature anecdotes and dialogue to keep the
more mature viewer entertained, especially some of the innuendos in
the title.
A
great family DVD with some quite decent animation from the era.
