Lucky Luke ➦ animated adaptations:

Ceasar challenges the Gauls to twelve tasks and will become the rulers of Rome if they complete all of them but if they fail they will have to live under the rule of Ceasar.

I definitely prefer this from the last two Asterix movies but I still have some problems with this one. The thing with the Asterix franchise is that you can't really have proper stakes since the main characters are overpowered. It works great for your Saturday morning cartoon but not as a movie. It just makes things repetitive and boring after a while.

The animation is a tad choppy but I like the use of characterization in the posing and the colours are much nicer than before.

While it is far some perfect The twelve tasks of Asterix does a good job for what it's aiming for. If you're a fan of the franchise I'm sure you'll like this.

Lucky Luke, the Belgian cowboy comic character, locks up four bandit brothers (the Daltons) to halt their lifetime of crime. While in jail, a lawyer visits them and informs them that their rich uncle has died, having been hung for his own myriad crimes. (“A natural death,” one of the brothers tearfully says.) To get their inheritance, according to his will, they must murder the judge who sentenced him, under the supervision of none other than Lucky Luke, as he is the only trustworthy person their uncle knew, and therefore is uniquely fit to oversee this task.
