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 vows (against all logic) 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 Edifis. He is to build the palace and be covered in gold or, if not, his fate is to be eaten by crocodiles. Edifis calls upon an old friend to help him out: The fabulous Druid Getafix from Gaul, who brews a fantastic potion that gives supernatural strength. In order to help and protect the old Druid, Asterix and Obelix accompany him 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 face. But just like the local pirates, he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix.
Cleopatra wears clothes that reveal a lot of cleavage. Twice her bare back is shown down to the point that crack between buttocks is already visible.
A woman kisses Asterix on the forehead, cheeks and lips behind a curtain.
Caesar and Cleopatra talk about checking out the numerous bedrooms in the palace, then kiss passionately and somewhat comically.

frightening
Nothing really intense but:
The scene where Astérix, Obélix and Panoramix are lost in the pyramid may in some way be intense for young viewers.
The pyramid being destroyed may in some way be intense for young viewers as well.
A lamb is being fed to crocodiles and Numérobis is threatened with the same kind of death. In one shot it is alive, in another there is nothing left of it except the harness. It might upset small children as well as animal-loving adults.
