The Dreaded: Deconstructed the Vikings' reputation has become so fearsome it actually plays against them, as people now know better than to stick around when they are coming. He's alive and well at the end of the movie, and shows up a few times during the Creative Closing Credits mentioned above. Cryptocraf does fall to his apparent doom during the climactic confrontation, but is later revealed to have survived. Disney Villain Death: Played with but averted. Here, he's reduced to just the joke about teaching the Vikings about fear in the final scene. Demoted to Extra: Cacofonix was a key character in the original story, and essential to resolving the issue with the Vikings there. Creative Closing Credits: The ending credits are displayed alongside a storyboard of what happened after the wedding (including a Parental Bonus moment, see below). Despite there being enough steam emitted to launch a man hundreds of feet in the air, the snow doesn't melt. Convection Schmonvection: The climax takes place in a snow-covered cliff riddled with steam vents. Influenza from Asterix and Caesar's Gift makes a brief appearance when Justforkix is dancing. Huntingseassen, the Vikings' dog from Asterix and the Great Crossing, has a cameo appearance as Asterix and Obelix enter the Viking party. And his french actor dubbed Sylvester Stallone in Lock Up. Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Olaf is modelled after Arnold Schwarzenegger. 
Childish Tooth Gap: Abba has a noticeable gap in her top teeth, presumably to make her cuter. 
Neither did Abba (Timeandahaf's daughter) and Olaf.
Canon Foreigner: The Viking priest/chancellor Cryptograf did not appear in the comic book. However, in the climax, when Cryptograf gives him an instruction he can actually understand perfectly (kill Justforkix), he proves frighteningly effective and almost succeeds.

Beware the Silly Ones: Olaf spends most of the movie as a Dumb Muscle comic relief who can't figure out what is going on to save his life, with Cryptograf struggling to make him even understand the most basic parts of his scheme while he just goes along. Asterix and the vikings super freak license#
Artistic License History: Vikings only started their invasions in the late 8th century, over 800 years after the Roman conquest of the Gauls. Sailing from Northern France to Viking territory and back in a little under a month with such a tiny boat is also highly unlikely. Sailing North from Asterix's village would take him to Great Britain, not Scandinavia. Artistic License Geography: Asterix chases the Vikings back to their home by following the North Star. 
Aerith and Bob: The characters taken from the original Asterix and the Normans all have their original Punny Names, as does new villain Cryptograf, but other Canon Foreigners Abba and Olaf have quite normal names. That latter part, interestingly enough, was left out of the previous film, Asterix Conquers America, which adapted The Great Crossing. Adaptation Amalgamation: The film blends the bulk of Asterix and the Normans and the climax in Denmark of Asterix and the Great Crossing, since both feature Asterix and Obelix clashing with Norsemen. Adaptational Nice Guy: While still something of a brat in this version like he was in the comic, Justforkix gets a bit more Character Development in this version, including being genuinely touched by Obelix's affection and support of him.
