Asterix and the Big Fight (in French: Astérix et le Coup du Menhir; in Germany as Asterix – Operation Hinkelstein) is a 1989 French animated film directed by Philippe Grimond and produced by Yannick Piel. It is the film based on the Asterix comic series to being a co-production between France and Germany. Despite sharing the same title as Asterix and the Big Fight, the film shares only minor plot elements with that story, and is primarily an adaptation of Asterix and the Soothsayer. In the film, Getafix is accidentally made insane and amnesic by Obelix, forcing Asterix to try to cure him as his village is deceived by a fraudulent soothsayer that works for the Romans.
