Has asked to get the Asterix book out from the library again.īut, again, enough history. While Starkius and Hutchkis racing off in a chariot is wasted on my girl, she gets the Star Wars references about an evil empire. Caesar (who every Asterix fan knows is a big-nosed pompous arse). A reference to Jurassic Park, a song by Claude Franois, a voice you know well and a message hidden in a pyramid. Return on the famous comedy of Alain Chabat diffused this evening on TF1, and on all the easter eggs which are hidden inside. Which may be why I have always had more of a taste for the Ptolomys, the Greco/Egyptian dynasty founded by Alexander’s general, Ptolomy, who started the line that ended when Cleopatra went out with a bang with Mark Antony having moved on from lover #1, Mr. Asterix and Obelix Mission Cleopatra: 24 details hidden in the film. Me, I’ve always been much more into the Romans.
#Asterix and cleopatra this egiptians are crazy skin#
I finally understand the difference between Upper and Lower Egypt, and the three different kingdoms, thanks to the captivatingly passionate professor who has to shade her pasty Brit skin from the Egyptian sun with an umbrella employed for its proper purpose. Last week we started watching a cool BBC documentary called ‘Immortal Egypt’ which has made ancient Egypt a lot clearer to me than it has ever been. Is slowly making her way through an Older Fiction ‘autobiography’ of Cleopatra from the library, saying names like Berenice and Ptolomy in her own 8-year old way.
Often dances to their Lady Gaga-themed Rah-Rah-Cleopatra song. 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. Adores the Egyptians in Horrible Histories. The wonderfully barrel-chested Gerard Depardieu/Obelix voiced by an empty US teenage voice just sounds weird.īut my 8 year-old thinks it’s ‘great’. The fact that the fine comic French actors are over-dubbed with dry American voices close mic-ed in a dull/dead studio certainly doesn’t help. Maybe it’s because I’m not French, or because it’s live action (filled with seemingly-hammy French actors) that it seems a bit flat. At the end of the book, Obelix decides to go on a diet. In Asterix and the Big Fight, a druid mistakes Obelix for a patient with an eating disorder. Obelix's size is often the brunt of many jokes. But I must say it seems to lack the magic of the original Goscinny and Uderzo books. The only exception was in Asterix and Cleopatra when they were trapped in a pyramid and Getafix allows him to have three drops of the magic potion. I recently turned her on to the Asterix books I loved as a child, so I thought it might be fun to see the film. She plucked it from the plethora available, avoiding the usual Simpsons or the good/awful Grammy performances we’ve been making our way through. Popular animated hero Asterix and his faithful sidekick Obelix travel to ancient Egypt to help Cleopatra build a new summer home. I’m watching Mission Cleopatra with my 8 year-old daughter.
