More than 20 years after his success with ‘Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra’, French director Alain Chabat has again teamed up with the plucky Gauls for a 3D animated series that was presented Sunday at a festival in Lille before it runs on Netflix.
The series is based on the 1961 comic book ‘Asterix and the Big Fight’, the seventh in the series illustrated by Albert Uderzo and written by Rene Goscinny about the pugnacious warrior Asterix and his menhir deliveryman sidekick Obelix.
