Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: Getafix is looking for an heir.
In 2014, Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy struck a blow with Asterix – Le Domaine des Dieux, which brought together nearly 3 million spectators on French soil. Four years later, they came back even stronger with Asterix – The Secret of the Magic Potion, which surpassed the score of its predecessor by approaching 4 million admissions.
Whether writing the screenplay or directing, the two men are once again working together. They thus deliver a completely new story, centered on Panoramix and its search for an heir druid, and take up significant technical challenges in order to maintain a cartoon aspect to the image and therefore, a comic strip spirit.
Their humor (characteristic of Kaamelott’s father), their inventiveness and their modernity are hailed by a nomination for the César 2019 in the Best animated film category.
With an average viewer rating of 3.9 out of 5 on AlloCiné, Asterix – The Secret of the Magic Potion is one of the best-rated Asterix films by Internet users – ex aequo with Asterix – The Domain of the Gods and The Twelve Labors of Asterix -, just behind Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (which has an average of 4.1 out of 5).
