Best friends Asterix and Obelix accompany their village druid on his search for a successor to teach the secrets of his magic potion.

Everyone’s favourite Gaul stars in this animated adventure from France. After an accident whilst picking herbs in the forest, the Druid Panoramix decides that it is time he found a successor to transmit the secret of his magic potion. Enlisting the service of Asterix and Obelix, the two “bravest” warriors in the village, he sets out on a quest to find a young trustworthy druid who can become his protégé. However, the devious Demonix is also out to steal the recipe for his own nefarious means. Colourful, lively and exciting, this film carries on the 60 year legacy of one of France’s most enduring heroes.
