Asterix Wins Olympic Box Office Gold...

[Carlton Bach]

Wait a minute. Are you saying they've made a movie, with real actors of the Asterix and Obelix cartoons?
Too bad this will never make theaters in the U.S. Guess I'll have to look for the "import" DVD

Sadly, yes, they have. Three by now, in fact:
Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar

Mission Cleopatra

and this one.

They are probably not bad, in a slightly slapstick sort of way, but the animated Asterix videos are a fond childhood memory of mine and I HATE the live action movies with a passion.
