It was the final film for Roger Carel, the legendary voice of Asterix, before his retirement.
Asterix and Obelix initially try to stop the construction by using magic acorns from Getafix to regrow trees instantly. However, the Romans eventually succeed in opening the complex, leading the Gauls to compete for Roman tourist money before realizing they are losing their identity. Social and Satirical Themes
Produced by Mikros Animation in collaboration with M6 Studio. Budget: Approximately €31 million ($38 million).
