s were made for ''Asterix the Gaul'', ''Asterix in Britain'' or ''Asterix and Cleopatra'' which followed the original albums relatively closely. *In 1967, there was an attempt to make an animated film based on Asterix and the Golden Sickle, which wasn't completed. The incomplete script and drawings were sold in a book-exhibition in Brussels and is today a part of the book ''The Mirror World of Asterix''. Another reason for its failure is that Goscinny and Uderzo rejected the artists from releasing this movie because of its low quality drawings. *''The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'' is the only animated movie not based (at least loosely) on any of the comic books until the 2018 film ''The Secret of the Magic Potion''.

A North American Dub of ''Asterix and the Big Fight'' is used in all DVD releases, but fans generally consider it inferior to the original British dub, which is only available on VHS. *''Asterix Conquers America'' and ''Asterix and The Vikings'' are the only animated Asterix films to be produced in English first, then dubbed into French. *Though several of the Asterix comics are available in the United States, most of the Asterix films have not seen releases in America, likely due to the comics being not as popular as in the United Kingdom. The first five films (''Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Cleopatra, The Twelve Tasks of Asterix, Asterix and Caesar'' and ''Asterix in Britain'') did see VHS releases through Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Just for Kids Home Video, but all five have since gone out of print.
