## History

* No novelizations were made for Asterix the Gaul, Asterix in Britain or Asterix and Cleopatra which followed the original albums relatively closely.
* In 1967, there was an attempt to make an animated film based on Asterix and the Golden Sickle, which was not completed. The incomplete script and drawings were sold in a book-exhibition in Brussels and is today a part of the book The Mirror World of Asterix. Another reason for its failure is that Goscinny and Uderzo rejected the artists from releasing this movie because of its low-quality drawings.
* The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is the only animated movie not based (at least loosely) on any of the comic books until the 2018 film The Secret of the Magic Potion.
* Starting from 1985's Asterix Versus Caesar the animation quality improved dramatically.
* Asterix Conquers America was the only one produced solely outside France.
* Early English dubbed versions of cartoon movies used character names from the Ranger/Look and Learn "Asterix the Briton" translations, such as Tunabrix for the village chieftain.
* Asterix Conquers America, Asterix and the Vikings and Asterix: The Mansions of the Gods are digitally drawn and animated.
* Asterix: The Mansions of the Gods is the first Asterix movie in stereoscopic 3D.
* The animated Asterix movies that were dubbed into English were all dubbed in either France, the United Kingdom or Germany, with the exception of Asterix and the Vikings, where it was then dubbed in the United States, in order to bring Asterix into the U.S. market, while The Mansion of the Gods and The Secret of the Magic Potion were dubbed in Canada. A North American dub of Asterix and the Big Fight is used in all DVD releases, but fans generally consider it inferior to the original British dub, which is only available on VHS.
* Asterix Conquers America and Asterix and the Vikings are the only animated Asterix films to be produced in English first, then dubbed into French.
* Though several of the Asterix comics are available in the United States, most of the Asterix films have not seen releases in America, likely due to the comics being not as popular as in the United Kingdom. The first five films (Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Cleopatra, The Twelve Tasks of Asterix, Asterix and Caesar and Asterix in Britain) did see VHS releases through Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Just for Kids Home Video, but all five have since gone out of print.
