History WesternAnimation / AsterixAndCleopatra

* AdaptationExpansion: The film adds Cleopatra taking a bath (complete with a song), a second encounter with the pirates, a DisneyAcidSequence song about Obelix's appetite, a VillainSong about the making of the poisonous cake, as well as an attempt by Caesar to quietly neutralize Getafix.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: The animated version of the special iced "Arsenic Cake" made by Artifis takes this UpToEleven - the cake is made almost entirely out of poison. According to the VillainSong, it is made out of: Strychnine, Hemlock, Paraffin, Opium, a Leech in Scum, Chopped Frog's Spawn, Arsenic, Narcotic, Castor Oil, Snake's Blood, Crushed Tadpole, Glue, Rat Poison, Cobra's Venom, Mandrake Root, Moldy Fruit and Vitriol. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And an orange slice (for flavor)]]. Somehow, the mixture is also HollywoodAcid, as it dissolves the spoon Artifis uses to stir it.

* MickeyMousing: Lots of this, especially with the potion-empowered Egyptians effortlessly passing bricks around.

* MadeOfIron: Cleopatra's taster. It's a miracle he doesn't die on the spot after tasting the poisonous cake (just have a look at what it contains below in the TamperingWithFoodAndDrink entry) made by Artifis, which seemingly just gives him stomach pains. It might be fatal to him eventually, but by the time Getafix gives him the antidote, a few hours have passed.

* BlackFace: Inversion. The black pirate in the pirate's nest turn white from fear when he sees the Gauls appear. This gag has been removed in some home video and TV versions.

* ArtisticLicenseChemistry:
** How Artifis managed to make a cake without eggs or flour is never explained. It's even lampshaded as, just before turning the large bowl of toxic batter upside down on the table without having baked it (revealing it as looking quite like a normal cake, which has somehow already been frosted), Artifis gives a wink to the viewer, as if to say "Just wait till you see our little trick!"
** It isn't explained, either, how he was able to bake something that contains ''petrol'' without exploding along with his mixture.
