Two albums by Goscinny and Uderzo collide in Astérix et la surprise de César, airing on Gulli Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at 9:05 p.m.. Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi helm this 1985 French animated feature, which draws on elements from Astérix gladiator and Astérix légionnaire.
Obelix is in love with Falbala, but the young Gaul is engaged to Tragicomix. Their capture by the Romans sends the two heroes and Dogmatix on their trail. Their pursuit leads them into the Legion and then to the arenas, where a celebration for Caesar is being prepared.
The film fuses two strands of the comic adventures: the Gauls’ military campaigns and their stint among the gladiators. Roger Carel voices Astérix and Pierre Tornade voices Obélix, while Serge Sauvion brings Caesar to life. Vladimir Cosma provides the score for this animated adaptation.
