Asterix at the Olympic Games: Where to Find the Verified English Dub

• Physical Media (Difficult but possible)

  • Praised: Brad Garrett’s Obélix (deep, gruff, warm) and Tara Strong’s energetic Lovestorix. Paul Giamatti’s Astérix was called “unexpectedly fitting” for the small, fierce Gaul.
  • Criticized: Michael Phelps’ delivery as Brutus is notably stiff—intentionally so (playing Brutus as a dim jock), but many found it wooden.
  • Lost in translation: Several French puns (especially about 2000s French politics) were replaced with generic gags, but the physical comedy remains intact.
