The plot follows the original comic book almost to the letter. In the animated film Asterix the Gaul there are three blond men working inside the forge – two of whom look similar to Fulliautomatix. In the comic book, a prototype Fulliautomatix appears in the village forge, with the blacksmith's shop itself labelled 'Fulliautomatix – weapons for all the family'. The established characters in the other existing Asterix stories at the time could well have appeared in the background of the village. However, by 1967 when the animated adaptation was made, ten Asterix adventures had been written and published. The comic Asterix the Gaul that the animated adaptation is based on does not feature many of the village characters, simply Asterix, Obelix, Getafix, Vitalstatistix and Cacofonix. One of the weaknesses of this adaptation is that it lacks the minor village characters that are found in the world of Asterix.

This is even though the map at the beginning of the film does not show a fort of that name 5.
