  3. ey- it wasn't me man!
    as a matter of fact let me clear something up: I worked on that film for a couple of weeks! And NOT at A-Film! so no anecdotes or insider stories I'm afraid.

    The only thing I can tell everyone is that it's the best Asterix film so far- I thought it was genuinely funny and charming(leica), and the animation is very good.

    here's a Swedish trailer:
