Asterix & Obelix: Der Kampf der Häuptlinge

Wished more people acknowledged that this came out. Asterix and obelix is pretty famous in my country wich yeah is in europe but still.

I haven't read allot of the comics but i have watched a few of the films.

Both the two animated ones and a few of the live action films.

This one is connected to the two animated films wich i both really like.

This one is a mini series but i found to be wonderfully charming.

The animation is great and they also use allot of 2d elements aswell, i like the hero's aswell as villains. Im not going over the plot since its like 5 episodes that are each half an hour so i would be yapping endlessly.

Considering the time it's been since the last asterix and obelix 'movie' This came out of nowhere, But the animation and design from that movie has been stepped up a notch.

Smooth as butter, accurate to the comics with added modern day / retro music, updated name puns and it's all wrapped up in 20 ish min bites, effectively a 2 hour ish movie cut up in to 5 pieces.

Characters are as you'd expect with the classic antics each are known for with a bit of drama mixed in.

I'd say safe for kids unless you think tom and jerry is too violent ;)

voice acting ( for english at least) is on point, everyone feels invested in their character, no phone in's.

Loved every bit of it. It has the subtle humor, puns, relatable to current times and to top it of the last few seconds conversation between Chief Vitalstatistix and Impedimenta was the cherry on top.

The show creators expanded the story without loosing the essence of the original story. As an Asterix fan, I must say this was the best animation of Asterix so far (12 Tasks of Asterix was my previous favourite).

Animation, Sound design and background score was perfect. The dialogues are witty. A perfect show to watch with whole family.

Thank you Netflix and the whole team. A true tribute to Goscinny and Uderzo.

"Le Combat des Chefs" is one of the most iconic Asterix albums, and this new adaptation not only captures its essence flawlessly but elevates it with thoughtful enhancements for animation. The contemporary updates blend seamlessly with the original spirit, including subtle allusions to current events-Caesar's resemblance to Netanyahu and Putin, for instance, is unmistakable. For me, it's a complete triumph: the character animation feels as if the figures have stepped directly out of the comic's panels, while the colour palette pays a respectful homage to the 1989 adaptation of this album and Le Devin. It's a superb achievement, enriched by a stellar voice cast and outstanding visual design.

That said, I do feel that recent Asterix adaptations increasingly target a younger audience. Given that the original comic material often carries more mature themes and wit, I hope future projects will embrace that richness more fully. I'd love to see an adaptation aimed at adults-perhaps of Astérix chez les Helvètes or Les Lauriers de César. Or finally, a proper take on Le Tour de Gaule."

As lovers of the original comics, but not having read them in years, and being acquainted with the terrible attempts at Asterix and Obelix film adaptations, this was an unexpected joy to watch as a family!

We range from 16-24 years and we loved this. We found the English dub to be hilarious. The accents selected were awesome and added to the humour and experience. The quick wit, attention to detail, consistency in story telling, and everything was so so loved. We couldn't stop watching.

If it weren't for a seemingly unnecessary character in the last three episodes (Apothexis), this would be a 10/10. The third episode was a bit of a filler and we found it to be a bit too modern and 'silly' which kind of broke the immersion in the world they had created. But, the rest of the show seemed to keep the 'silliness' to a level which was tolerable and well balanced with the geniuses humour and good plot.

Hoping for many more!
