History WesternAnimation / AsterixAndCleopatra

* YouDontLookLikeYou: None of the pirates look like their comic book counterparts, the Redbeard stand-in chief among them.

** Additionally, the trafic cop seen in the streets of Alexandria after the opening credits takes a similar hieroglyph pose and stands there, motionless, while another Egyptian turns him around to regulate trafic.

* WalkLikeAnEgyptian: Several instances of this, like Cleopatra's maids during her bath song scene -- who are followed by her ''lion'' walking on two legs somehow, or some of the workers on the palace's construction site as they carry stones.

* TitleSequence: The opening credits are made of uncolored comic book-like panels getting briefly animated.

UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar provokes UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII by pretending Egyptians are not capable of building anything significant anymore. She retaliates by betting she can have a gigantic palace built in three months. To do so, she tasks the (pretty inept) architect Edifis with it, and shall he fail to pull it off, she would feed him to her crocodiles. Edifis remembers that his distant friend, the Gaulish druid Getafix, can make a potion that grants tremendous strength, and sets sail for his village. Getafix accepts to follow him in Egypt, and so do Asterix and Obelix. Once they get to Egypt, the Gauls have to thwart the attempts by both rival architect Artifis and the Romans to ruin the construction.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: The animated film 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.

* {{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.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The Arsenic Cake doesn't just contain arsenic, but also a multitude of other poisons that are all deadly on their own.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: None of the pirates look like their comic book counterparts.

* 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, quite a few hours have likely passed.

* AdaptationExpansion: The film adds Cleopatra taking a bath (complete with a song and her goofy lion's antics), 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.

* VillainSong: "The Arsenic Cake" ("Le pudding à l'arsenic" in French), sung by Artifis and Krukhut as they prepare said cake with glee in order to frame the Gauls.

* ThemeTune: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jIqE0LNFo4 previous film's theme]] was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1iZ35jcC1w reprised and rearranged]].

* MickeyMousing: Lots of this, especially with the [[SuperStrength magic potion]]-empowered Egyptian workers effortlessly passing bricks around.
