Cleopatra and Julius Caesar have made a bet, with Caesar wagering the project cannot be completed in a few weeks time. This actually reminds me I did not explain the central. Asterix and his faithful sidekick Obelix travel to ancient Egypt to help Cleopatra build a new summer home. Relatively complex scenes of palaces being built at MAGIC POTION STRENGTH speed look really great after the dismal first movie. Theres big crowd scenes where laborers and merchants and stuff move around without being the focus of the shot.

The fact that Cleo is the only woman with lines (I guess her and the silent/singing maids are progress over the complete LACK of women in the first) and she's a complete idiot would be distressing BUT there's such a joviality to the proceedings that it's hard to get upset. ASTERIX ET CLEOPATRE is a far better animated movie that came out a mere year after the first one. This was the second Asterix live action film and was the most expensive French film made at the time.

The Romans constantly try to find out what is in the brew to make their legions as invincible as that blasted little town that seemingly cares for little but eating boar and building dolmen! Mostly the Asterix comics are travels around the world full of Flintstones jokes about Roman/Celtic era versions of 1960s European stereotypes. The 1968 animated cartoon Asterix and Cleopatra is not the only film to be based on the comic the 2002 live action film Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra was as well. All of Gaul is conquered except his little village, because of a magic potion brewn by the druid Panoramix. Classic EURO mistake!Īsterix is a gaul from Caesar's day. This actually reminds me I did not explain the central concept of Asterix my post about the first movie. 'Asterix and Cleopatra' has been ranked 4077 times, wins 43.27 of the time on Flickchart, and is currently ranked 5297 of the best movies of all-time. There's big crowd scenes where laborers and merchants and stuff move around without being the focus of the shot. The movie holds fairly true to the book (unlike several of the other Asterix movies). Actually, the music in general is quite poor - like a combination of Merry Melodies and silent movie music. ASTERIX ET CLEOPATRE is a far better animated movie that came out a mere year after the first one. The worst is Cleopatras bath song, including a singing lion (male, but no mane), and singing dancing girls with tambourines.
