The Twelve Tasks of Asterix	comment	So imagine this: Julius Caesar conquers all of Gaul territory, with the exception of one tiny village, whose people just so happen to have a magic potion that can make them invincible. Due to this, the Roman soldiers start to wonder whether the village's inhabitants might actually be gods. So Caesar - who considers the whole idea idiotic - challenges the Gauls: If they - like Hercules - can carry out twelve tasks he invented (the original 12 labours are outdated), Rome will surrender and the Gauls will rule it as the new supreme masters. The chief picks his best men Asterix and Obelix and sends them off for an exciting adventure dealing with old hermits and sirens, facing beasts and ghosts and even...retrieving bureaucratic writs.Released in 1976, Les Douze Travaux d'Astérix (The Twelve Tasks of Asterix) has been the only Astérix movie (animated or live-action) to date, that is based on an original screenplay rather than drawing its story from any of the comic books. It can still be considered a "legitimate" installment of the series, since it was co-written by Asterix authors (and French comic book legends) René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo along with Pierre Tchernia. The story was also adapted into a written book with illustrations.While the story starts like any other Asterix adventure, it quickly shifts into much more surrealist, fantastic and at points downright trippy territory, leading to an ending so bizarre you have to see it to believe it. However the original series' trademark humor (pun-filled historical satire mixed with some well-placed jabs at contemporary issues) is still present for the entire flick. It was generally praised by critics and fans of the series alike.See also The Ballad of the Daltons, also created by René Goscinny and the same studio.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_1e7487cd	type	Breaking the Fourth Wall
The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: The narrator notices a pile of 20th century junk and wishes it to be removed, because the story is set in the Ancient Roman Age, whereupon it is instantly zipped away. The narrator asks the audience: "Who doesn't know the Gauls?", whereupon several hands in the cinema audience rise and cover the screen. The Gauls for their part look depressed that the audience doesn't know who they are. During his introduction, Asterix says "Hello" in various languages (English, American English, Japanese, German, etc.) to make the point that the comics have been translated in all of them. As the flag of France appears Asterix makes a rooster-like sound as a reference to the fact that the rooster is a national symbol of France. When Julius Caesar explains Hercules's twelve tasks, he pulls down a screen over the movie screen showing twelve individual vignettes explaining each task. During the running contest the Greek runs so fast that the scenery falls apart. Near the end of the film, Obelix calls attention to how far Off the Rails the plot has gotten in regards to real history, as he asks Asterix if they are really the rulers of Rome now. Asterix responds that they are in a cartoon, and as such "everything goes" and they can do what they wish. So Obelix wishes himself to be back at the Isle of Pleasure.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_75979171	comment	The Cuckoolander Was Right : Zig-Zagged. After Vitalstatistix and the rest of the village accept Caesar's challenge, Getafix the druid (and typically the village's voice of reason) calls them fools, arguing that Caesar will never keep his word. Throughout the entire movie it's hinted that Caesar might back out at the very last minute (which also seems most likely, since the comic books are usually somewhat historically accurate). And it seems he was right, as the final task was designed to get the entire village to come willingly to Rome and be put into the Circus. But after the village pulls together and makes a complete mockery of the task, Caesar is actually true to his word and the Gauls become the rulers of the Roman Empire.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_8171b426	comment	Fantastically Indifferent: As you might expect, Asterix and Obélix are generally unfazed when dealing with various fantastic beings, creatures and people. In fact, the only thing that really bothers Obélix at all is the undead Roman garrison, since they are immaterial and can't be injured.

Here we have almost literal fourth-wall breaking, a Rubber Man, a man that flies like a bird just because he was hypnotized, sandals that walk by themselves, Hammerspace, and a hen that lays eggs shaped like souvenirs, among other surreal elements.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_88e1831d	comment	Vast Bureaucracy: Also kind of a Take That!. In what might be the most memorable task of the story (the seemingly unobtainable "laissez-passer A 38" ["permit #A 38"] has since become a cultural trope in France, Poland and Germany, whenever tedious bureaucratic issues are concerned) Asterix and Obelix need to get a certain paper from a bureaucratic agency. All previous attempts to do so have ended in insanity: going up and down stairs, being informed that the form you need doesn't exist/is the wrong color, the person you need to consult with is out to lunch, and so forth. The method Asterix uses to win is sheer elegance in its simplicity. He turns the bureaucracy against itself asking for a paper that doesn't exist, "laissez-passer (permit) #A 39", required by a supposed new decree that nobody knows about, "circular B 65", but which the employees try to find anyway, exposing the weaknesses of a system where everyone has a task but no-one knows how the whole, or even how the part not involving them, works. In the end, the employees themselves go mad.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: While the comic series as a whole dabbles in this, this movie in particular has history taking a truly different course, as Asterix, indeed, conquers Rome. In particular, things end up a whole lot different (and better) for Caesar, who, rather than being murdered, gets to enjoy a happy, quiet retirement in the country with Cleopatra. The ending is non-canon in both history and comic book continuity, of course.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Much like most Asterix stories, the movie contains plenty of shout-outs: The goddess Venus (while appearing among other Gods) is drawn after French actress Brigitte Bardot. The buxom priestesses of the Island of Pleasure (especially the high priestess), in turn, appear to be modeled after Italian movie star and sex symbol Sophia Loren. Cleopatra appears near the end. Modeled after Elizabeth Taylor, much like she was in the Asterix and Cleopatra comic book and animated movie. A rare musical example occurs during the protagonists' ascent to the Old Man of the Mountains, when the score takes on a notably Wagnerian feel (as opposed to the more jolly score heard throughout the rest of the movie) using motifs that are clearly inspired by both the "Ride of the Valkyries" and the prelude to "Das Rheingold". The riddle of the Old Man of the Mountains, and subsequently Asterix's answer and the Old Man's reaction, all make fun of laundry detergent advertisements. When the chicken in the Roman arena goes insane she lays several objects, one of them a mini image of Donald Duck!

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix / int_dfe57573	comment	Historical In-Joke: Near the end of the movie you can notice the sign "Via Asterixa" (this is a reference to Roman road "Via Latina"). Caesar's group of counselors features Brutus, who constantly plays with a knife. Caesar remarks: "Stop playing with that knife, you'll end up hurting someone!" ironically referencing how Brutus was the leader of the senators who stabbed and killed the historical Caesar. Cylindric the German being a Judoka is a direct reference towards the three German pioneers of Asian martial arts: Erich Rahn, Alfred Rhode and Heinrich Frantzen, who made the art popular in the West. At one point, while wandering through the Cave of the Beast, our heroes suddenly find themselves at a metro station. The sign at the station reads "Alesia". The Battle of Alesia was the last major engagement between Romans and Gauls and the final victory of the Romans in the Gallic wars. While on a rampage, Obelix breaks the arms off of the famous statue of Venus de Milo.
