YMMV / Asterix and the Vikings

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Just how much of a villain can Olaf be considered? While he clearly is as blood-thirsty and violent as the other vikings, and does go along with Cryptograf's plan, the fact he doesn't appear to understand what is going on and clearly doesn't care about marrying Abba (forcefully or not), basically just going along with the plan because Cryptograf is his father, kinda gives the impression he merely is an Unwitting Pawn in this whole story.
• Awesome Art: This may be the best-looking of the traditionally animated Asterix movies in addition to being the last. It's colorful and lively, the backgrounds are lush and beautiful, and the character animation and design is solid and pleasant. Even the few CGI effects look far better and less jarring than they did in Asterix Conquers America.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Almost every scene with the vikings. One particular moment is when the chief's wife, Vikea, asks him to steal certain things during their raid by giving him a list of things she wants, as if he's going to a store.
  Vikea: And I need a pair or matching skulls.
  Chief: ... I'll see if I can find twins.
• Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The previous two Asterix movies, Asterix and the Big Fight and Asterix Conquers America are widely agreed to be sub-par. This movie, while not the very best of the Asterix movies, is seen as a marked improvement upon those two.
