ASTERIX: THE MANSIONS OF THE GODS

Synopsis

Julius Caesar unveils his latest plan to get rid of those indomitable Gauls once and for all. As his army has not been able to crush “the last pocket of resistance”, he decides to try a stealth invasion: civilization delivered to the village gates! He builds a new Rome – The Land of the Gods – around Asterix’s village, pressuring the Gauls to assimilate or vanish. Despite Asterix and Obelix’s plans to stop the construction work, the buildings quickly rise and the Roman citizens start to peacefully invade their surroundings, bringing chaos to Asterix’s village. Could this finally mean victory for Caesar?

The animation, there is a great job done on the film. It’s very, very pleasant to watch; it’s joyful and it’s communicative”

Alain Chabat, Actor, France Voice Casting “Prospectus”

The first installment of the collaboration between Mikros Animation, Alexandre Astier, and Louis Clichy was a success, paving the way for new challenges. The studio continued its partnership with M6 on the second feature film, “Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion,” showcasing a remarkable transition within the company. The emphasis on diversity and inclusion was also evident with the significant integration of talented women into key roles.

Mikros Animation, with branches in Montreal, Paris, and London, adopted a unique approach by tailoring the visual style to each project and director. The artistic challenge for Asterix was considerable, featuring a script rich in travels and settings, a high number of shots, and the adoption of a new format. Marion Bayard, as the line producer, and Stéphanie Aubriot, as the CG supervisor, played a crucial role in bringing these two films to life. Mikros Animation not only provided technical expertise but also contributed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment.

It’s a titanic work, it’s incredible.”
