During one of the customary brawls in the Gaulish village, the supply of magic potion is spilled, and the Romans capture Getafix the druid before any more can be brewed. Taking him to their galley at the edge of the world, they catapault him into space, however he lands in America. Asterix and Obelix follow and soon find themselves pitted against an American medicine man, who has his own designs on the potion recipe.

Of Interest: The first Asterix movie to be filmed in English, then later dubbed in French. At the time of writing, this is the latest Asterix animated cartoon, but an eighth, 'Asterix and the Vikings' is due for release in 2006, meaning a 12 year gap. It is supposed to have the largest budget of any European animated film ever made.
