Somehow, the mixture is also Hollywood Acid, as it dissolves the spoon Artifis uses to stir it. According to the English version of the Villain Song, it is made out of: Strychnine, Hemlock, Paraffin, Opium, a Leech in Scum, Chopped Frog's Spawn, Arsenic, Narcotic, Castor Oil, Snake's Blood, Crushed Tadpole, Glue, Rat Poison, Cobra's Venom, Mandrake Root, Moldy Fruit and Vitriol. Tampering with Food and Drink: The animated film version of the special iced "Arsenic Cake" made by Artifis Exaggerates this - the cake is made almost entirely out of poison.Pain-Powered Leap: Cleopatra's lion jumps high in the air after putting its hand in a fire bowl during the "Bath of Cleopatra" song.Ode to Food: When Obelix is hungry, he sings a song called "When You're Eating Well, You're Well" about various food and drink, including beer, boar, meat in general, cheese, and bones (for Dogmatix).Mickey Mousing: Lots of this, especially with the magic potion-empowered Egyptian workers effortlessly passing stone blocks around.It might be fatal to him eventually, but by the time Getafix gives him the antidote, quite a few hours have likely passed. It's a miracle he doesn't die on the spot after tasting the poisoned cake (just have a look at what it contains below in the Tampering with Food and Drink entry) made by Artifis, which seemingly just gives him stomach pains. Indeed, the animal is really just a goofball. The servant who brings it on a leash has to sing about the animal symbolising courage and the like ( while thinking otherwise). Informed Attribute: Cleopatra's lion is brought to her during her bath.The lookout in the crow's nest is smaller, and the wisecracking old pirate is replaced by a parrot. The captain is taller and more muscular, and his hair is more orange than red. Early Adaptation Weirdness: The pirates look different in this film than in the comics and the later animated films.Disney Acid Sequence: Obelix's "When You're Eating Well You're Well" ("Quand l'appétit va tout va" in French).Depending on the Artist: None of the pirates look like their comic book counterparts, the Redbeard stand-in chief among them.

This gag has been removed in some home video and TV versions. The African pirate in the pirate's nest turn white from fear when he sees the Gauls appear. Artistic Title: The opening credits are made of uncolored comic book-like panels getting briefly animated.
It isn't explained, either, how he was able to bake something that contains petrol without exploding along with his mixture. It's even lampshaded as, just before turning the large bowl of toxic batter upside down on the table without having baked it (revealing it as looking quite like a normal cake, which has somehow already been frosted), Artifis gives a wink to the viewer, as if to say "Just wait till you see our little trick!".
