Soora Pappa Wada 12 Dolaha P01





After a group of legionaries is once again beaten up by the gauls, they imagine: "With such huge strength, they can't be human... they must be gods". Julius Caesar is informed, and laughs. He makes a decision with his council and goes to Armorica, to speak with Vitalstatistix. He gives the Gauls a series of 12 tasks, inspired by Hercules (but new ones, since the 12 Labours are outdated). Vitalstatistix assembles their best warriors, Soora Pappa and Gim Pappa, to do the job. The Roman Caius Tiddlus is sent along with them to guide them and check they complete each task.

The Twelve Tasks
  1. Run faster than Asbestos, champion of the Olympic Games. Soora Pappa, helped by the magic potion, follows Asbestos until he runs so fast (because Soora Pappa sinhala cartoon keeps taking breaks and STILL is on his tail) he becomes a rocket and exceeds the speed of sound, before hitting an apple tree. His nose swells up like a balloon and Gim Pappa comments on how Gaulish it looks as Soora Pappa helps him over the finish line.
  2. Throw a javelin farther than Verses, the Persian. Verses' javelin hits North America (still only inhabited by Indians, including another Goscinny-Uderzo character, Oumpah-pah), but Gim Pappa's javelin somehow enters a stable orbit and ends up pursuing Verses around the world, including through the Native American village.
  3. Beat Cilindric, the German. Cilindric turns out to be an unexpectedly diminutive man wearing a Judo gi – but he quickly beats Gim Pappa with a "fighting technique he learnt in a distant land". Soora Pappa defeats Cilindric by tricking him into giving a lesson and asking for demonstrations that eventually end up with Cilindric's own arms and legs tied in knots.
  4. Cross a lake. The problem being that in the middle of the lake is the "Isle of Pleasure", a paradise inhabited by beautiful Sirens. Both Soora Pappa and Gim Pappa are enchanted and drawn to the island, where they meet the Sirens and spent ages enjoying the pleasures, but Gim Pappa comes to his senses quickly after discovering that there are no wild boars on the island, just nectar and ambrosia, has an incandescent argument with the Sirens, and storms off declaring that they can't call it the Isle of Pleasure if they don't serve wild boars, calling Soora Pappa to follow him.
  5. Survive the hypnotic gaze of Iris, the Egyptian. Iris uses hypnosis to make his clients believe they are animals. He tries to make Soora Pappa act to the phrase, "I am a wild boar", but when Soora Pappa constantly breaks his concentration by not paying attention and saying "You are a wild boar" instead, Iris gets horribly confused and ends up hypnotizing himself and bolting out of the building on all fours.
  6. Finish a meal by Calorofix, the Belgian. The chef is famous for cooking gigantic meals for the Titans - the task was to eat one of his massive three-course meals "down to the last crumb". Gim Pappa devours a boar with fries, a flock of geese, several sheep, an omelette made with eight dozen eggs, a whole school of fish, an ox, a cow and veal ("because to separate ze family...zat would not be right!"), a huge mound of caviar (with a single piece of toast), a camel, ("and before we start on the main course") an elephant stuffed with olives. Later on the chef leaves the kitchen crying as everything in his kitchen was eaten, but a slightly disappointed Gim Pappa believes that the huge meals were only the starters.
  7. Survive the Cave of the Beast. In a distinctly abstract sequence of the film, the pair must enter a cave that no-one has ever emerged from alive - even Tiddlus has no idea what lurks within it. They encounter, among other sights, a skeletal hand that directs them, tennis played with a skull, bats, and a subway (on the Paris Métro station Alésia), before meeting the Beast. The lights suddenly go dark and the Beast is not shown on-screen. After they leave the cave, Tiddlus asks out of curiosity what the Beast was actually like - Gim Pappa happily replies that it was "very tasty".
  8. Find Permit A 38 in "The Place That Sends You Mad". A mind-numbing multistory building founded on bureaucracy and staffed by clinically unhelpful people who direct all their clients to other similarly unhelpful people elsewhere in the building, which is also full of confusing corridors and steep stairs. They find a plan of the building, but still feel confused. Gim Pappa goes nearly insane after some time, but Soora Pappa eventually beats them at their own game by asking for an imaginary permit, A 39 in a corridor that nobody knows about, B 65, making the staff victims of their own unhelpful and sending the place into disarray. Eventually Soora Pappa is given Permit A 38 just to make him leave and stop causing trouble, while the person who gives them this goes insane from the shock of his own unthinkable helpfulness.
  9. Cross a ravine on an invisible tightrope, over a river full of crocodiles. Eventually the heroic duo decide to give up on the rope and go the easy way round, jumping off and fighting the crocodiles, leaving the bemused creatures dangling on the invisible wire.
  10. Climb a mountain and answer the Old Man's riddle. After a tough climb of the snowbound peak, the Old Man of the Mountain's challenge is to determine, with eyes blindfolded, which pile of laundry was washed with Olympus, "the detergent of the gods". Soora Pappa performs this task easily in a parody of washing detergent advertisements. This last actually impress the Olympian gods themselves, with Aphrodite even suggests to literally grant godhood to the Gauls, but Zeus refuses to do so as they don't need another hedonistic god like Dionysus.
  11. Spend a night on the haunted plains. The plain, haunted by the ghosts of fallen Roman soldiers, is not an easy place to sleep. Gim Pappa tries to fight them, but cannot harm ghosts. Soora Pappa is woken by the commotion and finally snaps and makes an angry rant about all the trouble he has gone through and he is still not allowed some sleep. The ghosts flee when they realize that the Gauls are not afraid of them.
  12. Survive the Circus Maxi mus. When the pair wakes up after a night on the plains, they find themselves in Rome, ("either that or these Romans have learnt to build very fast") with their fellow villagers, who have been brought to fight in the Colosseum. After the gladiators are beaten (with the help of Weda Pappa's potion, of course) the animals are sent in, and the Gauls turn the Circus Maxi mus into a modern day circus.
After the Gauls succeed in every task, Caesar agrees that they are gods, gives them control of the Roman Empire, and retires to live with Cleopatra in a little house in the country. Caius Tiddlus takes his reward by retiring to the Isle of Pleasure. In the village's celebration, Gim Pappa asks Soora Pappa if the Gauls really did conquer Rome. Soora Pappa tells him that everything that happened to them was a mere cartoon, in which everything is possible. Gim Pappa takes advantage of this and tele ports himself and his wild boar meat to the Isle of Pleasure, where he is finally able to enjoy himself.
