Asterix and the vikings english version full#
In the late 50s, Uderzo, the series illustrator, developed a graphic style that clearly demonstrated the influence of American comics, yet added a distinctly French touch: his sinuous drawings combine caricature and realism, and are both well researched and stuffed full of deliberate anachronisms. A phenomenon within the book publishing world, like Tintin, translated into dozens of languages, the adventures of Astérix and Obélix owe their success to a combination of highly verbal humor (not always that easily translatable) and drawings that appeal to a very wide audience. Its the eighth animated feature outing for the two Gallic warriors, which must be a record in the animation world.It should be said that within Europe, the saga has long since traveled beyond the French borders, particularly in Germany where the two Gauls are hugely popular. However, things in Europe these days have moved on somewhat and now we have Scandinavians joining forces with the French to make the animated feature film Astérix et les Vikings, the first alliance between two cultures without any obvious affinities! The film, which skillfully combines both Scandinavian and French references, is based on the adventures of two legendary French comicbook heroes, Astérix and Obélix, and, very loosely indeed, on ancient history and Caesars conquests in Gaul. In France, the Vikings were hardly remembered with fondness back in the Middle Ages, their name was synonymous with pillage and rape from when these northern invaders sailed along the Seîne in their longboats and brought terror to the local people.
