“After successfully rebooting the Asterix franchise into a clever CG animation movie with 2014’s The Land of the Gods, writers-directors Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy offer up a lively if less-enlightening follow-up with Asterix – Le Secret de la potion magique.
“Chockfulll of gags and pop-culture references, this latest tale of France’s favorite superhero gets a brand-new storyline based on the original comic books from the 1960s and '70s, which were written by Rene Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo.
“Voiced by comedian Christian Clavier, Asterix is — as all French people know — a barrel-chested Gaul protecting his village (and by extension, his people) from Roman invasions during the first century B.C. Aided by the barrel-bellied Obelix (Guillaume Briat), Asterix and the Gauls are above all safeguarded by the wise magician Panoramix (Bernard Alane), whose magic potion allows them to pounce the better armed and better trained Roman army, which far outnumbers the Frenchies.” - The Hollywood Reporter
