Line #12 Trivia/TheMansionsOfTheGods


1	!!2014 animated film:
2
3	* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/AlbertUderzo was apprehensive of the use of CGI for his characters, fearing it wouldn't be as expressive as traditional animation, but when he saw the work of animation directors Louis Clichy (who once worked at Creator/{{Pixar}}) and Patrick Delage, he was delighted, especially regarding Obelix's design.
4	* BadExportForYou: Had an incredibly limited theatrical run in the UK, only lasting about a week, and very few cinemas carried the 3D version.
5	* CelebrityVoiceActor:
6	** For France: Creator/AlexandreAstier (creator and main actor of ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'', and director of the film) as the centurion, actor Lorànt Deutsch as Anglaigus, actor/director Creator/AlainChabat (who directed and played in ''Film/AsterixAndObelixMissionCleopatra'') as Senator Prospectus, and comedian Élie Semoun as Cubitus. Also from ''Kaamelott'', there's Alexandre Astier's father Creator/{{Lionnel\|Astier}} as Fulliautomatix.
7	** The Polish dub has popular actors Wojciech Mecwaldowski and Arkadiusz Jakubik as Asterix and Obelix, singer Czesław Mozil as Cacofonix and sportsmen Mariusz Pudzianowski and Mamed Khalidov in minor roles of gladiators.
8	* CreatorCameo: Animation director Louis Clichy also voices a dimwitted legionary.
9	* DescendedCreator: Co-director Creator/AlexandreAstier also voices the centurion.
10	* EnforcedMethodActing: Alexandre Astier had the French voices recorded ''before'' the animation work was done so the voice actors would come up with more originality in the roles and not be influenced by their characters' moves and attitudes.
11	* IronyAsHeIsCast: Caesar is voiced by Creator/JimBroadbent in the UK English dub, which is very ironic because in the French dub, his enemy Asterix is voiced by Roger Carel, who also used to provide Broadbent's voice in the French dubs of his works.
12	* TheOtherDarrin:
13	** Bar Creator/RogerCarel (Asterix), none of the French voice actors from any previous ''Asterix'' animated film returned.
14	** Similarly in the Polish dub, the voice cast was totally rebooted.
15	* ProductionPosse: Many of ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'''s actors can be heard as Gauls or Romans, due to Alexandre Astier being in charge.
16	** Arthur is the centurion.
17	** Guethenoc is Vitalstatistix.
18	** Léodagan is Fulliautomatix.
19	** Séli is Bacteria (Unhygienix's wife).
20	** The Witch Hunter is Cubitus (the whiny legionary).
21	** The Burgund king is Obelix.
22	** His interpreter is Squareonthehypotenus (the architect).
23	** The Duke of Aquitania is Senator Prospectus.
24	* PromotedFanboy: Co-director Alexandre Astier is a fan of ''Asterix'', and of the album ''Recap/TheMansionsOfTheGods'' in particular.
25	* RoleReprise: Compared to previous ''Asterix'' animated films, most of the voice actors are new. However, Creator/RogerCarel, who had been voicing Asterix ''since '''[[WesternAnimation/AsterixTheGaul 1967]]''''', came out of retirement just for this movie (he hadn't done any voice acting since 2010). Nobody had to beg him for it, though -- [[AwesomeDearBoy he volunteered]].
26	* YouSoundFamiliar: Senator Prospectus is voiced in French by Creator/AlainChabat, who played Julius Caesar in ''Film/AsterixAndObelixMissionCleopatra''.
