Where to Watch Asterix and Cleopatra
- ZokkiieMarch 11, 2026Pretty fun little classic with that loose, hand-drawn charm you don’t really see anymore. The humor is silly in a good way and the pacing keeps things moving, even if some jokes feel a bit dated. It’s the kind of cartoon that’s easy to throw on and enjoy for the personality and old-school animation style alone. That said, parts of it really haven’t aged well. The extreme racism with its depictions of Africans is pretty uncomfortable by today’s standards and definitely sticks out when watching it now.
