The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra bets against the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, that her people are still great, even if the times of the Pharaohs has long passed. She bets (against all logic) to be able to build a new palace for Caesar within three months. Since all her architects are either busy otherwise or too conservative in style, this ambivalent honor falls to Numerobis. If he is unable to complete the gold covered palace in time, he will be eaten by crocodiles! Numerobis calls upon an old friend, the fabulous Druid Panoramix from Gallia, who brews a potion that gives supernatural strength. In order to help and protect, Asterix and Obelix accompany the old Druid on his journey to Egypt. When Julius Caesar gets wind of the project succeeding, he has the building site attacked by his troops in order to win the bet and not lose his face. But he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix! Review: An undiscovered classic - What a superb film! An amazing recreation of a favorite Asterix story. Characters and action are brought to life with excellent special effects translating cartoon reality into a 3D world. If your french is pretty good, then go to desertcart.fr and search for "Mission Cleopatre edition prestige" and make sure you get the 2 DVD set: this will give you a most remarkable second disc with interviews, but above all a full length documentary on the making of this film. And you'll find that desertcart.fr have all your details at hand and that ordering is as easy as from desertcart.com. I have watched this documentary twice now with great enjoyment and have gained immense admiration for the military precision necessary to make a film of this complexity. The reason I recommend the French 2-DVD set for french speakers is because of the lack of english subtitles, although my wife still enjoyed the documentary since most of the content is visual and obvious. Review: ASTERIX & OBELIX = LOL ! - IT'S "MISSION CLEOPATRE" INDEED WITH THE VERY BEAUTIFUL "MONICA BELLUCCI" AS THE QUEEN OF EGYPT !! THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY I PURCHASED THIS MOVIE, AND WHAT A SIGHT SHE IS AS "CLEOPATRE" ..... WOW, AND I GIVE HER THE FIVE STARS ! TO MY SURPRIZE I FOUND THIS MOVIE TO BE VERY FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING ASWELL. NO BIG DEAL WITH THE ENGLISH DUBBED VOICES NOT IN SYNCH WITH THE ACTORS, IT JUST ADDS TO THE COMEDY AND CRAZINESS OF IT ALL ! FYI, "desertcart.COM DVD-R" DID A GREAT JOB ALLOWING US HERE IN THE U.S. TO SEE THIS UNIQUE FOREIGN FILM BY "REGION" TRANSFER. THE PICTURE AND SOUND QUALITY ON THIS DVD-R IS VERY GOOD.

My favourite music and songs in the movie came out of nowhere and I liked the choreography.
As usual most Asterix cartoons and movies are hilarious and over the top, but I love most of it, and even the anachronism. I also love Asterix comics and video games.

Fun. I'm learning French and to be honest I don't understand everything, but it is very helpful. There is no English subtitle on the DVD I purchased so if you need English subtitles be sure to look for them.

Not worth your money.
The dub is just awful. At some points they try to add extra 'funny' cuss words but it's not working. The audio in this movie is really important and this just wont do, feels like a homemade amateur work.

Nice try, but it's not the same movie with BURNT-IN subtitles that can't be turned off.
I'm happy to get this movie with original French soundtrack--the movie is published in a large array of languages and editions, most of which don't include French. However, this edition does not have an original French movie, nor English subtitles, but rather the original movie with English subtitles burnt into the video, so they cannot be removed. Hmmm. So the movie is for Anglophones, most of whom live in the USA. This is a Region 2 DVD. There's nothing wrong with that, but why publish a DVD for European players that has American subtitles burnt in, that cannot be played by Americans? Question: When a customer pays good money for a movie, what's wrong with giving it to him? In my opinion, all such movies should be mastered with the original-language sound track with OPTIONAL dubbed voices in other languages; OPTIONAL original screenplay subtitles in the original language, and OPTIONAL foreign subtitles in as many languages as possible. A DVD like this is better than nothing, but a poor substitute for anyone who wanted to see the movie unadulterated.

Great Movie!!!
Great Fun!!! They really capture the spirit though they don't follow the letter of the books! The version I purchased didn't have any extras which was too bad. I saw a rental version years ago with a "Making of.." bonus which would have been great to have. Still a movie that I can watch over and over, I'm glad I bought it.

Great movie
Having trouble with the roman empire, pirates and sneaky politicians, not to mention your home builder...droid or druid ? The little village in Gaul that was never conquered is a vivid and funny place to visit. Funny and amazing as pyramid workers go on strike and legions "follow orders" and history gets tweaked. Funny and great gators.

Colis recu rapidement, parfait etat CD et son boitier dorigine! Ce film est format NTSC, donc il ne vient pas dEurope; ca signifie que les DVD en region Nord-Americaine peuvent le faire jouer sans problemes. Regardez toujours si votre film contient la mention NTSC dans la description du format, pour ceux et celles qui sont incertains de la region. Souvent, ils sont aussi multi-formats, de plus en plus. Je suis satisfaite de cette belle comedie daction. Je vous recommande ce film marquant de mon enfance tres fortement! P.S: Oui, ce film peut etre ecoute avec audio francais, non pas les sous-titres seulement. Merci!
