Cowardly Goudurix will have ample opportunity to skirt his manly responsibilities until he has to impress the girl.ДЇour years in the making on a budget of E22 million ($27 million), animation hews fairly closely to the look of the hand-drawn comics. GrossebafвЂ™s proto-feminist teen daughter Abba (Sara Forestier) stows away on her dadвЂ™s ship, intent on emancipation and adventure. Machiavellian CryptografвЂ™s muscle-bound dunce of a son, Olaf (Michel Vigne), provides goofy laughs as he fails to grasp even the most basic task, let alone his dadвЂ™s plot to usurp power. Meanwhile, far to the north, ferocious Viking Grossebaf (Marc Alfos) misunderstands his elderly advisor, Cryptograf (Pierre Palmade).В When the wily advisor remarks that вЂњFear gives wings,вЂќ the fearless Viking takes a figure of speech literally and assumes that if he can round up a scaredy-cat, he and his fellow sea-going pillagers will be able to fly.

He shows up with his pet bird, who delivers messages Flintstones-style by pecking text into the nearest piece of wood. No easy task, as Goudurix - the very early prototype of an ecology-minded surfer dude - couldnвЂ™t be less interested in hunting wild boar and clobbering hostile invaders. Asterix and Obelix are assigned to make a man of him. The village chiefвЂ™s nephew Goudurix (Lorant Deutsch), whose dad is a famous warrior, arrives from Lutece. Jovial pussycat Obelix (he of the super-strong brawn and bottomless appetite, voiced by Jacques Frantz) and his best friend Asterix (the smart warrior whose strength is unbeatable after a gulp of magic potion, voiced by Roger Carel) live in the last Gallic village to resist the Romans, circa 50 B.C.
