Release Notes
In the English DVD Box Set release, rather than using the British dub, the American dub was included. This new dub was never released theatrically and is considered inferior by fans of the original due to it changing parts of the plot as well as character names ("Getafix" is changed to "Vitamix", "Vitalstatistix" to "Bombastix", "Cacofonix" to "Franksinatrix" and "Unhygienix" to "Fishstix"), and general dumbing down for an audience assumed to be unfamiliar with the characters.
The first English dub featured the voices of Bill Oddie, Bernard Bresslaw, Peter Hawkins, Brian Blessed, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Ron Moody amongst others. In 2010, the film was released on Blu-ray.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or notes:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
