The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is a belgian/french animated movie from 1976.
Although the story is not based on an Asterix and Obelix Comicbook, it is a part of the Asterix and Obelix filmseries.
Everyone who is familiar with these comics knows that the Gauls always manage to beat the Romans, but the story gets further on in this film.

In this movie the desperated roman soldiers start to recognize the fact that they always lose and build their own theory about the invinceble villagers.
In their opinion Asterix and Obelix have to be gods.
The leader of the Roman Empire Caesar does absolutely not want to believe that so he builds a challenge for the Gauls to prove to the sodiers that the Gauls are human.
Asterix and Obelix have to carry out 12 tasks, like Hercules(Heracles) did, but new ones that Caesar invented (and which are in fact way more funny and absurd than the ones Hercules had to carry out.)
If the Gauls are able to master these tasks, they will rule the whole roman empire, because in that case there is no doubt and they have to be gods.
In this movie full of humor Asterix and Obelix have to beat the best athletes, fight monsters and even cope with the roman bureaucracy.
Can the Gauls master the tasks like Heracles, the hero of greek mythology (in roman mythology called Hercules) did?
Are they really gods and will they rule the Roman Empire?
Even if you think you might know the answer because of the typical endings of Asterix and Obelix storys, this ending is really going to suprise you.
The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is in multiple ways different to the other movies of the Asterix and Obelix series, but it definetly has the same beloved sense of humor.
With its references to Greek/ Roman mythology, the typical Asterix and Obelix humor and the more fantastic kind of story it is totally worth watching.
