Synopsis
Asterix the Gaul (Astérix le Gaulois, 1967) is the first animated Asterix film — watch it online on iFILM. Produced in Belgium and France, it brought René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo's comic-book Gaul to life for the first time on screen. The year is 50 BC, and the Romans hold most of the territory. Most. One small village holds out, its residents powered by a druid's strength potion that stops any legionnaire cold.
When a Roman centurion sends a spy to steal the formula, the druid himself gets kidnapped and smuggled to Rome. Asterix and Obelix go after him — which the Empire will come to regret. At 65 minutes it moves fast and keeps Goscinny's two-level humour intact: broad physical comedy for children and dry satire for everyone else. Stream Asterix the Gaul (1967) online on iFILM.
