Most of animated movies from asterix are "remakes" from the comics. But live action films of Asterix are inspired by comics (and animated movies), they are not remake. Especially Mission Cleopatra which add a lot of new stuff and new ideas. There are really good directing ideas that makes it an unforgetable classic, at least in France.

Yes, numerous times. Love the Buffyverse. Saying it was never serious is removing some of the best moments of the show, ones still critically lauded for how they tackled serious issues.

The Body is a prime example of a serious episode. There were quite a few others. It wasn't all campy fun.

Not sure if it's the same movie but I remember a HK movie from when I was a kid with a similar scene. If it's the same movie I remember the baby getting a choice between a rocking horse toy and a sword? Vaguely recall a firey backdrop too. Swordsman had come home to find his wife slain and home on fire with only the baby/kid who then picked the sword. I have some more vague memories of that movie if it happens to be the same one?

edit: kinkinoa posted the one I was thinking of I think.
