I would say the 80s were better than the 70s for animation because at least the toy people would pay enough money for the studios to send their shit to Japan, where good exchange rates meant they could get decent animation for relatively low prices. It's just the content that was total shit.

Whereas the 70s are defined pretty much by limited, Hanna Barbera style animating.

We still had Transformers and stuff. Not that I ever watched it because I was born in the 90s. I grew up on Animaniacs, and then Dragon Ball Z

Did it do well enough? I know stateside nobody went because nobody knew what Tintin was.

Asterix & Obelix was the shit here. I'd call all the older movies absolute classics that I'd rewatch happily even today.

Oh man, this is giving me a nostalgia boner.

I've watched all of the A&O cartoons up to the one where they go to America, except for the very first I think (which was drawn in an older style used in like the first comic book I think?). Great stuff with some pretty gud jokes (one of the tasks of The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is "Try to deal with bureaucracy without going insane") and a pretty high animation budget starting around Asterix in Britain.

It was such a shit here in Germany that we have alternate universe translations of the comics in pretty much every German dialect there is.

I'm not familiar with it myself, but I've heard it has a certain pulp flair like Good Indiana Jones.

It did a little over double it's budget and i liked it, i should note they made quite a few changes but i thought they worked well enough with what they did
