Astérix & Obélix: Le Combat des chefs

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."

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.

Given the track record of Netflix productions lately I was a bit reserved about my expectations, but fear not, the Big Fight is Excellent!

It is probably just recency bias, but I can't recall when had I enjoyed an Asterix story as much. There is plenty of character development and a lot of various setups-payoffs that feel very satisfactory when you get to them. The plot evolves fairly logically with one event leading to the other. We even get a couple of suspenseful scenes of Asterix (competently) fighting without the aid of the magic potion and even Obelix gets a couple high stakes fights.

The animation is colorful and full of energy. There are LOADS of excellent jokes, quite a lot meant rather for the adults (e.g. The Pulp Fiction twist dancing is briefly referenced). It was truly the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Watching the big fight filled me with glee.

I think this was excellent. There still seem to be people capable of producing good Asterix content so I hope we will be getting more like it. Now go Watch it, increase the view count to let the producers know it is good and pretty please make an another!
