Sure enough, Asterix and Obelix free Minus and believe his flimsy cover story that he is a Gaul from Lutetia. He is dressed in a wig, false moustache and traditional Gaulish dress and led in chains through the forest as a prisoner, awaiting rescue by the Gauls. Phonus selects a volunteer (by means of a single round of musical chairs) to pose as a Gaul in order to infiltrate the village the unlucky loser is a short, slack-tongued misfit named Caligula Minus.
Their state upon their return to camp prompts the leader Phonus Balonus to seek the secret behind the Gauls' superhuman strength. Despite being significantly outnumbered, Asterix leaves the Romans beaten and bruised. The film was animated by Belvision and Halas and Batchelor.Īfter a brief introduction to the principal characters, the film follows Asterix as he is ambushed by a group of Roman legionaries in the forest. Afterwards, they ensured that they would be consulted for all subsequent cartoon adaptations, starting with Asterix and Cleopatra. Goscinny and Uderzo were not satisfied with the film, and managed to block the release of the planned sequel, Asterix and the Golden Sickle (likewise made without their involvement). It was produced by Dargaud, publisher of the Asterix comics, without the involvement of Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny. The film was originally planned to be aired on French television, but instead it was released as a theatrical feature film. The film closely follows the book's plot.
