Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
As the Romans fulfill their imperialist journey to rule all the land, only one village stands in their way: the Gauls. These are common people who rely on a magic potion to give them super strength. But when the Druid who brews it loses his memory of how to prepare it, Asterix and Obelix must find a way to combine their strengths to lead their people in winning The Big Fight and preventing the erasure of their culture.
Is It Any Good?
Viewers who already love the franchise will likely enjoy it (a lot!) With beautiful animation, Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight feels true to the original material, with a few modern updates. But the story focuses a lot on fighting and bad behavior, and doesn't spend much time on resolution or solving problems in a positive way. There are also jokes and references that may go over kids' heads, and others that might not sit well with some parents. While it's a loyal adaptation for fans, not everything in it is made with kids in mind.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the unrealistic portrayal of violence in Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight. What are the real-life consequences of hitting other people like that?
If people are angry or disagree, what are other ways they can solve the problem without fighting? Can you think of peaceful examples of conflict resolution?
Some moments of the series seem to make fun of modern culture like theme parks and celebrities. Why do you think they did that? What are they trying to say about ancient Rome and today's world?
