* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In addition to ''Asterix the Gaul'', which was already made without asking Goscinny and Uderzo, Belvision Studios was making two other animated films at the same time, based on ''Recap/AsterixAndTheGoldenSickle'' and ''Recap/AsterixAndTheBigFight'' respectively. Goscinny and Uderzo ordered to destroy the footage as they were made without consulting them (it was not possible to destroy the footage of ''Asterix the Gaul'' as it was already advertised and soon to be released), and they took over for the next project, which ended up being ''WesternAnimation/AsterixAndCleopatra''. Part of the plot for ''Asterix and the Big Fight'' was adapted into [[WesternAnimation/AsterixAndTheBigFight an animated film]] over two decades later, ''Asterix and the Big Fight'' in English, albeit it was really more an adaptation of ''Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer''.
