Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (Astérix: Le Secret de la Potion Magique) is a 2018 French animated ComicBook/{{Asterix}} film. Like WesternAnimation/TheMansionsOfTheGods it was directed by Creator/AlexandreAstier and Louis Clichy and is made in CGI, therefore it can be viewed as a sequel to it. However the plots are unrelated and nothing tells you if things happen before or after the plot in the Mansions Of The Gods.
Unlike the previous film (adapted from a specific Asterix book), this one tells an original story. Getafix is old and searches for a young druid to replace him as the village's druid.

!!''Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion'' provides examples of:
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Asterix snaps and [[spoiler:leaves everyone]], Obelix gets angry at him for a very silly reason.
* EvilLaugh: We hear Sulfurix's laugh before seeing him for the first time.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The title is dropped so many times it might not count as TitleDrop. Just don't expect to be able to make a magic potion after watching this film.
* MythologyGag: The movie contains several references to other ''Asterix'' books or films:
** Asterix resisting hypnosis already happened in WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix
