The 2008 live-action film Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques , the third in the modern French franchise starring Clovis Cornillac and Gérard Depardieu, represents a unique case study in transatlantic dubbing practices. Unlike its predecessors, this film was given a high-profile English-language dub featuring notable comedic actors, including the final voice performance of Joss Ackland. This paper analyzes the English dub of Astérix at the Olympic Games through three lenses: (1) linguistic adaptation and the loss of French farce, (2) the performance and miscasting of celebrity voice actors, and (3) the cultural flattening of Franco-Belgian comic tradition for an Anglo-American audience.

UK and international DVD/Blu-ray releases often feature the English dub as an audio option.
