Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (out May 30) is a simple, unremarkable animated film about an ageing druid looking for a successor who he can trust with his secret, power-generating potion. There's no complexity to the story and it's the kind of thing you'd expect to go direct to DVD or TV. Grade: C.
