Netflix bets on animation
This Asterix album had already been adapted for our screens in 1989, with the film
Asterix et le coup du menhir
.
In
The Battle of the Chiefs,
Obelix accidentally sends a menhir on the head of the druid Panoramix, who forgets the recipe for the magic potion.
An accident that turns out badly: the Gallic leader Aplusbégalix challenges the village of Asterix.
A defeat would bring the irreducible Gauls under Roman domination.
Alain Chabat's animated series should be available on Netflix in 2023. The platform is investing more and more in the field of animation.
In addition to the adaptation of the Terminator saga, Netflix announces future adaptations in animated series of the video game Lara Croft and the King films.
