Synopsis

Big event for our favourite village in Gaul: Justforkix (voiced by Sean Astin), the Chief's nephew, has just arrived from Parisium! Asterix (Paul Giamatti) and Obelix (Brad Garrett) are assigned an impossible task: to make a real man out of him. Because under his arrogant looks, the kid from the big city is just a scared chicken, and the tough training he receives does little to change things...

Meanwhile the Vikings have landed in Gaul, determined to find a "champion of fear" who will, as their seer has promised, teach them to fly, since supposedly 'fear lends wing'...

Disaster strikes when Justforkix is abducted by the Vikings! Asterix and Obelix must find him at all cost. While they chase after him all the way to the frozen North, their young protege, now unwillingly cast at the centre of an abominable plot, meets the beautiful and intrepid Abba (Evan Rachel Wood), and discovers that love can hit you like a punch in the face... talk about culture shock!
