Perhaps I should watch this movie again, now. As a child, this was always my least favourite Asterix. It felt more like "Asterix in Wonderland" to me than any of the others. Sure, it has its unique and unforgettable moments (restaurant, hypnotist and invisible bridge stand out), but it also had its weird, psychedelic, "Yellow Submarine" moments (the Underground, the bureaucracy).
So of all Asterix movies, this will always remain the oddest, least linear. That alone might make it the classic so many people believe it to be, but to me, as a kid, it made it simply bizarre. And I did not like the bizarre.
If Yellow Submarine or Alice in Wonderland are your thing, then this is the Asterix of your dreams. Otherwise, you will probably enjoy some of it, but I doubt whether any one person will like all 12 episodes.
