Default Asterix animation films in Blu-ray with subs??

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about these French blurays being released WITH English Subtitles.
These are some of my favourite animation films!

I saw most of them on TV during the hollidays, they look alright in HD, nothing amazing but certainly better then the regular version. One as to remember that the animation for these was always very simple.

My DVD from Canada only have the French language track (which for me is not a problem). I can't see anything anywhere on any French site about English sub on these Blu-ray. I am still looking if I find anything I will post it here.

Well, in amazon it says only French as language. And to tell you the truth I prefer always the original which in this case is french. I love Ovelix's voice in these films.

I justed checked DVDProfiler for the French release of those titles and based on the profiles and back cover art these titles only have French audio tracks and subtitles; no English.

I fix the name for you

For me Asterix as always been read and seen in French but French just happen to be my first language. I only started with English at 14 or so. I am surprise that there is no English subs however on these Blu-ray releases as someone else mention

http://www.archambault.ca/asterix-coffret-%283br%29-ACH002829970-fr-pr

But this is peculiar. I can't find anywhere else these bluray releases.
In france they only released so far the other 3 Asterix films..

And of course there is the question; does it have English subtitles or just dub?

@Peter008
are those 1:78 cropped ratio from the dvd edition transfert or they are with right ratio ?
les 12 travaux original ratio is 1.66 : 1
astérix et cléopatre original ratio is 1.66 : 1
asterix le gaulois original ratio is 1.66 : 1
also the the cropped widescreen dvd edition of asterix & cleopatre miss one scene

Yes this scene is no longer on the DVD releases, not sure why. The HD copy that is shown every year during the Christimas holliday on Tele-Quebec still as the scene. They must be using a different master.

@P@t_Mtl
i don't have Tele-Quebec do you remember the ratio was full 1:78:1 (full screen) or original 1:66:1 (with thin black bars on the left and right sides)
if the image is 1:78:1 then the image is cropped if there are black bars then the image is original ratio
