Asterix in Britain

Asterix in Britain (Astérix chez les Bretons, 1986) is an animated comedy adventure you can watch online on iFILM, drawn from the Goscinny and Uderzo comics. Rome has landed on the island, and one small British village is left holding the line alone.

The Britons are brave, but they only fight five days a week, stop for tea at the stroke of five, and wash down their boar with mint sauce. So they send for the Gauls: Asterix and the hefty Obelix haul a barrel of magic potion across the Channel. Cue the fog, the warm beer, Caesar's legions, and a chase that nearly sends the precious barrel into the drink. Directed by Pino Van Lamsweerde and clocking a brisk 79 minutes, it is an easy, good-natured cartoon for a family night, and the jokes about British habits still land decades on.
