I spent a couple of years living in Paris as a kid, and that time was full of (among other things) Asterix & Obelix. Reading these simple, joyful comics in their original French was a fabulous way for me to learn the language (Tintin also did its part). It's made me a lifelong fan of the characters, so when a new adaptation rolls around I'm always wary.
Netflix is the latest in the firing line, though, and I'm deeply reassured by the first trailer for Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight. From its animation style to its humour, it looks like it might completely nail the feeling of reading one of the source comics, transposed onto one of the biggest and best streaming services.
