The animated film The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (Le Dodici Fatiche di Asterix, 1976) was conceived by Goscinny for the screen and later adapted into a reading version. The duo are publicly credited as the creators of the Asterix comic series.

A single DeBaser review discusses the 1976 animated film Le Dodici Fatiche di Asterix, highlighting its French/Gallic humour, episodic but solid structure, and romantic/dated animation. The reviewer recalls childhood enjoyment and notes that Goscinny conceived the film directly for the screen. Overall a pleasant, mostly light-hearted appreciation.
