Film Adaptation
- The animated movie Asterix Conquers America, starring Craig Charles as the voice of Asterix, is based on this book. The most noticeable differences between the book and the film is that in the film, Getafix accompanies Asterix to America- albeit because he has been abducted by Romans seeking to get rid of him by throwing him off the edge of the world-, and that the Vikings do not appear in the film.
