Asterix and Obelix versus Cesar

Rather than revealing any of the numerous incidents in the story, let’s just say that Asterix, Obelix the brave Gauls and the mean Romans are in it as well as the whole host of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo original characters, all playing their traditional – let’s say the word – historical roles. After all, the film is only a new chapter in their lengthy story. Or is it? For the first time Asterix will here swing into homeric battle with Obelix… Obelix will turn Asterix in to the Romans… Asterix will restore the fallen Caesar to power… Tunnabrix will steal the Roman tax collector’s chest, only to have it stolen from him in turn… And the magic potion will be replaced by Mathusalix’s Super-Magic-Potion… So is this an Asterix turned inside-out? Certainly not. Everybody is completely in character, but… well, it’s too complicated. It takes a whole movie to explain it.
