Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy complement each other like Asterix and Obelix!
In addition to the legendary aura of the Asterix license, the success of these two feature films can be explained by other factors: faithful writing of the original work, full of humor and references, but also polished animation, 100% made in France.
In the writing, the viewer will be able to recognize the pen of the great Alexandre Astier, the author of the Kaamelott series. Co-director and screenwriter of two feature films, he brings the spirit of Uderzo and Goskin to his sharp humor and sense of dialogue.
Co-director in charge of animation Louis Clichy, a graduate of the French Gobelins school and formerly of Pixar studios (WALL-E, Là-haut), brings his touch to the world of the iconic comics, with a recognizable artistic style, while testifying. Love the graphic style of Asterix and Obelix.
