Asterix is well known as a French icon. Appearing in comics in 1959, he has appearing in almost everything. This movie, from the 1960's, is one of the many films involving this hero.
In ancient Egypt, Cleopatra is having an argument with Caeser, and after he loses faith in the Egyptians, the queen makes a bet with him that she will have a grand palace built for him in Alexandria in three months, with success convincing Caeser the Egyptian people are still powerful. Hiring Edifis for the task, with failure resulting in him being fed to the crocodiles, and needing magic to make it possible, he goes to his old friend, Getafix, and enlists his help alongside Asterix and Obelix. However, Artifis, the rival of Edifis, is out to sabotage the construction by any means necessary, and even Caeser attacks when he learns of the three heroic Gauls being in Egypt.
This is a neat French cartoon, as it has a lot of action and comedy. The English voice acting is nice (even though the lip sync is off, but thankfully, the intro warns of this), and the music and songs are memorible.
