The Viking's chief, Timandahaf, misinterprets his adviser's words and declares they must find a "Champion of Fear", believing that if the tribe were to become great cowards, they'll be able to fly and become invincible. The tribe's adviser, Cryptograf, concludes that their enemies have all fled, stating that "fear gives you wings". This adaptation introduced new characters, anachronistic references about modern technology, and cover versions of pop songs, such as " Get Down on It" by Kool and the Gang, " Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and " Super Freak" by Rick James.Ī succession of raids leaves a tribe of Vikings without anyone to fight against them. Unlike most Asterix films, the English dub's voice cast consisted of American actors rather than British or French actors. The ensemble voice cast features Roger Carel and Jacques Frantz as Asterix and Obelix, with Paul Giamatti and Brad Garrett headlining the English dub.
A loose adaptation of the story of the comic album Asterix and the Normans, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, the plot follows Asterix and Obelix trying to train the nephew of their village's chief, only to find themselves rescuing him from a tribe of vikings who believe him to be a Champion of Fear.
