Short description

In the year 50 BC, Gaul is occupied by the Romans - nearly. But the small village of Asterix and his friends still resists the Roman legions with the aid of their druid's magic potion, which gives superhuman strength. Learning of this potion, a Roman centurion kidnaps the druid to get the secret formula out of him.

What's left behind the scenes

120 animators worked on the film.
Upon his first appearance on screen, Obelix is shown carrying an axe, and this axe never appears again in the film. Obelix is a secondary character. He will become Asterix's partner later.
