 Asterix - Information Missive N°40
And it is perhaps because his authors created him as a sort of anti-hero, short, ugly and irreverent, that he became such a cultural phenomenon as early as the sixties (last century), a symbol of France's heritage on the international scene and an unlikely hero.
Asterix is the product of the counter-culture that emerged in the fifties and sixties, and his colossal success, which is unequalled anywhere in the European publishing world, has managed to obscure the main themes that underpin the character's values.
It is this common sense that has driven the world since the dawn of time and which we would do well to exercise now in order to preserve it and to prevent the sky from falling on our heads one day.

The story is an adaptation of two great books "Asterix the Legionary" and "Asterix the Gladiator", but it is not as good as any of those two stories.
Negative aspects of this album is; Obelix falls in love (unhappily); Asterix is telling the story instead of it being a story (narrative); the wordiness; lower pun frequency.
In my opinion the best Asterix albums are: Asterix and the Normans; Asterix in Corsica; Obelix and company; Asterix the Gladiator; Asterix the Legionary; Asterix and Cleopatra; Asterix and the Goths; Asterix in Belgium; Asterix and the big fight; and Asterix all around Gaul.

Asterix, the hero of these adventures is a shrewd, cunning little warrior.
The Asterix series is probably the most popular French comic in the world, and familiar to people of all ages in most countries, due to its global newspaper syndication and over 30 best-selling books and films in over 100 languages!

Some of those animations were based on Asterix books like, Asterix the Gaul, but others were based on combined elements from all the films like 'the 12 tasks of Asterix' and 'Asterix versus Caesar'.

And so Asterix and Obelix enter a Roman gladiator school in order to rescue them from the arena.
Most of the film - particularly during the first half - is maintained at a really annoying level of biff-bap-bop slapstick pratfoolery - the ultimate message of the film is the dubious one that all problems that occur in life may be solved by an application of brute strength.

In a strictly mercenary action they wind up working for Cleopatra (Monica Bellucci) by way of an inept architect named Numérobis (Jamel Debbouze) who has been given the unenviable task of helping his queen win a virtually impossible bet with the Roman Emperor.
He has precisely three months to build a temple in Caesar's honor that rivals anything built in Rome, or die.
The only way of managing the feat is with the aid of the druid Panoramix, brewer of the famed potion to which Astérix and Obélix owe their mighty Roman-bashing strength.
