Asterix and Cleopatra Reviews

When I was kid, I have watched this movie so many times. Indeed, one of my aunts had it on VHS and, each time we would visit her, I would watch it, even after I saw it at least 20 times. Of course, you might argue that my high rating is overly generous and based solely on pure nostalgia but, even though it might be true, I still think it is a really awesome animated feature. I have to admit it though, after all these years, the animation itself was not always top-notch, especially if you would compare it to a Disney feature but it was all compensated by the humor. Indeed, the whole thing is basically some wall-to-wall jokes and even though something like this would usually not really appeal to me, it worked amazingly well here. To be honest, if you are not fluent in French, I'm afraid you will miss half of the humor but I thought it was pretty damned hilarious. Eventually, I would watch many more animated features starring these characters but even though some of them were decent, none of them turned out to be so awesome like this one. Anyway, to conclude, in my opinion, this movie is a real masterpiece and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
