What's left behind the scenes
- It is claimed that writing was forbidden among the Druids. This is historically accurate, as the Druids' knowledge was considered too sacred to be written down; it was passed on orally from one to another.
- The first animated film about the original characters created by René Goscinny (1926-1977) and Albert Uderzo since the full-length animated film “Asterix and the Roman” (1976), which is not based on the comics.
