We were DROWNED in bad 90’s non-Disney animateds after Lion King, and this was the first Dreamworks movie, ‘nuff said. This one took us by surprise for being epic and intelligent, and NOT going for the musical and Disney-villain tropes that were starting to become coin of the realm.

@@ericjanssen394 it used something that Disney usually shys away from “religion” and made this epic story with it Exodus is one of the most well known stories of the Bible, and this movies portrayal of it is top notch

@@UnlicensedOkie But MOSTLY, because Spielberg had just bought Jeffrey Katzenberg because he wanted his “own” Lin King, and for the first Dreamworks project, wanted him to do something Really, Really Jewish. (Like he did with Don Bluth and “An American Tail”, right after Secret of NIMH was the big discovery in animation at the time.)

An actual Bible verse Exodus 11:6

It’s official, koolaid is an unholy abomination.

Exactly.

Not for the Hebrews, but for the Egyptians.

Well, technically Moses did tell ramases what the last plague would be. Every time God told Moses what the next plague would be, he went and warned ramases every time and told him what the next plague would be. Including the last plague. Of course ramases didn’t know what the last plague was in the movie but he did know what it was in the Bible which makes it even more depressing

Not to mention how surprisingly faithful this adaptation is in comparison to other takes on Exodus. There are some glaring issues, such as Aaron being pushed to the sidelines, but the creators were up front and honest about the creative liberties they took.

I'm as much of an atheist as it gets, but I adore this movie. I have always liked biblical stories, even though I only think of them as interesting tales, but this film is so much more than that. There is so much depth, emotion and artistic value. It's truly a masterpiece that talks to all sorts of people.

@@Kat-qf7ov Indeed. And I completely understand If you don't share the faith (though I personally believe Moses was a real individual, and the Exodus as a real historical event). The message of the Exodus has significant moral implications.

@Neevkl _7 - I feel exactly the same way.

The creators of this movie were SO respectful and thoughtful in their handling of the story of Exodus. It's part of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths, so when DreamWorks started the project, they actually reached out to hundreds of people: religious authorities in all three faiths, theologians, historians, archeologists, etc., and then they screened it for a bunch of religious leaders (including Catholic archbishops, cultural-religious leaders like Jesse Jackson, etc.) before the widespread commercial release of the movie.

Yeah sorry unfamiliar with the source material😂😂

Was literally me cuz I never knew the story of Moses till at least my teen years but this was such a childhood favourite I've worn the video tape out from the amount of rewatches 🤣

Many people aren’t Christian or Jewish.

How exciting to be unfamiliar with the source material and watch this for the first time? Awesome! Prob an incredible feeling. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t know the story of exodus.

It was so refreshing, I loved seeing the reactions from someone who was so new to the story!

Her voice is so pure. ❤️

I know, she was always part of my childhood. It's sad she passed away so young, I would've loved to have met her and tell her how much her voice meant to me when I was little.

I'm Israeli. I grew up on her amazing songs and when I watched this movie for the first time, I recognized her! I'm so glad she was cast in so many languages, she had an amazing voice and she definitely deserved it.

The reason the main cast was whispering was because they didn’t want to have one person be the voice of God, but the whispering was too quiet so they just got Val to do the lines on top of the whispers as well.

@@cjck1344 Which also hearkens back to the 1956 epic The Ten Commandments, where Charlton Heston played the same dual role as well.

Hacksaw Ridge is another good example of a religious main character but religion isn't pushed on the audience. It's really amazing actually, one of my favourite movies.

Can't push a religion onto someone

There’s no denying this is a deeply religious/spiritual film. You can tell they did their research when it comes to historical context. It’s literally taken straight from the bible and from a mixture of faiths. There’s no need to sound so defensive about it lol it’s ok to admit you liked something religious without being religious yourself. It doesn’t mean you’re being converted lol it’s just a movie. It also makes the story easily more palatable to a wider audience when it’s animated of course with a great score. That’s what makes it so universal.

Joseph: King of Dreams is also an awesome movie. The stories can be appreciated by anyone of any faith or lack thereof in my opinion.

@@KabrynMadeIt Oh yes you can and you denying it is part of the problem. People have been forced to be religious for YEARS or they would have been disowned and kicked out of their homes or killed even.

Same here

I was definitely raised with these stories. Although, I am not as connected spiritually as some. I still have quite a few of positive experiences with my Christian background to consider myself lucky. It's really not even a crutch being raised with these biblical stories as honestly "Moses"is just a naturally rich tale that can be approached from several angles.

I’m personally not religious but dang it this movie is really good.

As Jew it is very emotional for me to see so many ppl loving this movie

same!! I love seeing people's reactions to this movie, it's seriously one of the best movies of all time

If it wasn’t in the bible, what source do you have for that? (Hint: you made it up)

@@katarinawikholm5873 it was in the bible but not in the movie.

@@ArmagonAuthor ”slow of speech” doesn’t equal a speech impediment.

Greek and Hebrew commentators since time immemorial have understood "heavy of tongue" to be an idiom referring to a speech impediment of some sort, whether a common stutter, or an inability to pronounce the bilabials (b, p, v, f) correctly, etc.

This is in rabbinical literature- Moses was a very large child at the age of three. At this age, sitting at the king's table in the presence of several princes and counselors, he took the crown from Pharaoh's head and placed it on his own.The princes were horrified at the boy's act; and the soothsayer said that this was the same boy who, in accordance with their former predictions, would destroy the kingdom of Pharaoh and liberate Israel. Balaam and Jethro were at that time also among the king's counselors. Balaam advised the king to kill the boy at once; but Jethro say it was Gabriel in the guise of one of the king's counselors) said that the boy should first be examined, to see whether he had sense enough to have done such an act intentionally. All agreed with this advice. A shining piece of gold, or a precious stone, together with a live coal, was placed on a plate before the boy, to see which of the two he would choose. The angel Gabriel then guided his hand to the coal, which he took up and put into his mouth. This burned his tongue, causing him difficulty in speaking but it saved his life.

☹️

This movie IS the story of Moses, or at least an interpretation of that story.

Yeah, they deserved it. They were jerks the whole trip. LOL

@@kiramortwilson7411 *_starts reading every billboard sign aloud_*

Depending he on where they would've crossed the Red Sea, the journey would've only taken about a couple weeks. They basically get told to wander around like nomads for 40 years because the older gemeration too attached to their way of life in Egyot kept causing problems and would've presumably gotten them all killed or compromised had God just told them to go right in and make themselves at home again in Canaan. Some tried to lead insurrections, others worshipped foreign gods (not said explicitly, but they basically emgaged in occult sex magick rituals in worship to gods who demanded child sacrifice), and the rest basically complained the whole way and tried fighting whatever God told Moses to do alomg the way. At some point, God just gets frustrated after trying to help them amd tells them to wajder the desert for 40 years, that everyone over 20 would live the rest of their lives as nomads, and that instead only those younger than 20 (with only a few exceptions) would get to return to the homeland of their forefathers, but only after their elders had all finally passed away. Basically God's entire relationship is like a father trying to do what's best for his unruly kid, but he keeps having to teach him tough lessons because he keeps doing stupid stuff and won't learn any better, basically, "I love you like my own child, amd I just want what's best fot you, but why do keep insisting on running away from home, doing bad stuff and getting yourself into serious trouble?"

The second anything starts getting difficult: "we were better off back in Egypt!" lol. People never really change, do they?

@@RobAreviews Didn't they also start to make statues of other Gods out of gold when Moses came back after God gave him the 10 Commandments and Moses was super pissed?

@@leilanidoofy90 Playing with the Big Boys Now

Hear Jonathan Young + Calen Hyle's cover of the "You're playing with the big boys"... not that's a theatrical metal... had that been used, man it would've been badass...

Or maybe he deleted the name of the God before Moses, like Ra-moses, has Ra the God before Moses, or Thut-moses, with the God Thut. I think he didn't like the God in his name, or maybe Jews deleted it because of their monotheistic faith.

As archeologist: The name "Moses" has origine from "Ra-Mesh" (Ramses for the english pronounce). "Ra" is the title of Sun-God, tipical for more pharaons. "Mesh" is a typical egyptian name. So, the name "Moses" / "Mesh" is an abbrevation of the name Ramesh / Ramses, without the presence of divine additional name, 'cause is only for kings and queens (the same fact is present in the gerogliphic scriptur, because pharao' names are always followed to a sign of recognize of divine nature of pharao)

Except that in history this probably never happened.

@@likeaflower7427 this is true, from the time of Ramses II (reigned between 1279 BC and 1213 BC), or the pharaoh who hypothetically could be the one who opposed Moses, no documents have been found that tell us about the prophet nor of an exodus of Jews. But it is also true that we miss a lot of the reign of this pharaoh: in fact we have the funerary monuments but not the archives (if there were) of Pi-Ramses, the city that was built by the pharaoh and where, according to the Bible (Ex 1:11), the Jews worked as slaves.

except that in the story, he knew he was adopted and his family cuz his mother ended up being a servant for the queen

A death of the firstborn

Also the part where Moses came across Miriam for the first time as she sings their mother's lullaby. Notice how Miriam was bathing in a warm glow while Moses was in a dark blue atmosphere. And when Moses sings "This is my home, where my father, mother, brother.." It pans to their statues also within the dark blue. Additionally, I'm not sure if it's a symbolism in Egypt, but Moses was the only one with red on his clothing, the rest of the royal family wore blue. And we see his siblings also in red.

@@zctwenty I watched Channel Awesome's video on Prince of Egypt today and both of you have pointed out excellent examples where Egypt = blue and Hebrews = reds/oranges. This is something I don't think I would've ever picked up on had someone not mentioned it to me so thank you. It's another detail to enjoy next time I'm watching this film.

Ramses was right but not in the way he expected to be.

Not only that, but God himself was pleading with Rameses since he was speaking through Moses. Even God didn’t want the final plague to happen. He had no other alternatives after Rameses made that threat.

I knew very little about Moses but I still fell in love with this movie. And I'm not even that religious of a person.

That makes so much sense haha, thanks for letting me know!

With The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, and The freaking Lion King, I’m SHOCKED Hans Zimmer doesn’t score for animated films more often. ❤️

You forgot Man Of Steel Bradley

I ALWAYS sing along to this movie. My boyfriend just rolls with it because he loves the film and my crap singing voice (actually tone deaf so up and down is all I have to go off of-its easier in movies and headphones because a good chunk of the time the higher someone goes, the softer the tone...still mess if up But i digress) 1000000000000000000% agree with you on EVERYTHING

It’s ironic cause Pharaoh said to him, “sometimes for the greater good, sacrifices must be made.” He ultimately had to sacrifice his relationship with his brother and the lives of Egyptian children. He sadly had to take pharaoh’s advice but not in the way he intended.

You can see the rage burning harder and harder as he gets closer to the palace

It was likely also to appeal to us in order to show how cruel slavery is.

Both to the young and old.

I mean, they purposefully minimize the entire religion thing imo and make it more a social struggle. I loved religious stories in school. People just forgot to tell me some people actually believe these things happened IRL.(I honest to God saw religion as something from the past till I was like 15 or so) Still good stories and nice lessons for the most part though. With most of them at least.

These are NOT fairy-tales. They REALLY did happen. I pray you all will read the Bible and learn THE TRUTH. Those ten plagues were judgments. That which once was shall be again. The Books of Daniel and Revelation speak of 21 judgments on the wicked in the not so distant future. Choose Jesus Christ now to escape God's Wrath. Pray to Him for your salvation through Jesus Christ. Pray that you'll be ready to be caught up in the Rapture and escape the 7 year Tribulation.

@@kinagrill and more importantly he began to trust God working through his brother

That's a nice observation! I'll have to be looking for it next time I watch this film. Seeing this film as an adult I saw how they really did Aaron dirty in their interpretation of him, but it really makes sense to make him a smaller player to keep the focus on Moses and his relationship with his brother Rameses. There's not enough room for more than one brother in this film!

Dude same :,)

I’ve had similar encounters with God except it is more subtle. It only happens when I’m at church and looking at the Eucharist as the priest consecrates it. As I gaze at the Eucharist, I feel like my sins are leaving my body and my eyes start to get watery. A fellow Catholic told me it was a gift referred to in early church writings as The Gift of Tears. I’m not sure if I truly do have that gift or why I have it.

Zimmer did this one too? That's amazing. That guy is amazing.

He also did “Spirit” which is another beautiful non Disney movie

It’s Hans Zimmer’s favorite way to add emotion, using those lower bass and all the horns. You can also hear it in the Dark Night trilogy. Spirit is amazing too and let’s not forget The Lion King.

Agreed. I loved it that he didn’t know about Moses in the Bible I think it made for an even better reaction.

I also assumed it was short for Thutmoses/Thutmose, which was a name used by prior Egyptian pharaohs.

Pretty sure he is also known as Moshe in orthodox Judaism

@@laurencole2937 yeah, which means To draw out. I’m just saying historically, the name has some extra context.

I think Moses it's not his complete name, there was maybe the name of a God before it, it was deleted because of the jewish faith. Maybe Moses didn't want the name of an another God in his own name.

Being 9 when I saw this film I didnt understand what was happening lol and even now it gives me chills.

That scene gave me nightmares. As a kid I was terrified that God would kill my older brother.

It breaks my heart.

What's most chilling about it is that it's so quiet while it's happening. No music, barely any sound, just death.

You know: I think the reasoning behind the 10th Plague is the one thing more interesting the 1956 Ten Commandments film over Prince of Egypt. In that movie, after the 9th plague, Moses goes to Rameses one last time with the call to free the slaves and gives one last warning when he refuses: "If there is to be another plague in Egpyt, it shall be by your word that God will bring it." After Pharoah kicks him out, he turns to the generals around and says: "There will be one more plague in the city. By order of Pharaoh: the first born of every house will die" Now in the context, he's talking about killing the first-borns of the Hebrews, as Moses repeats later: God was would heed Rameses word on the next move. In his own hubris, Rameses ordered the death of his own son.

So true.

Exactly what it feels like to feel the Holy Spirit within! Such an amazing experience!

most amazing thing ever

Fun fact - Val Kilmer was also chosen to voice God (in addition to Moses) because the directors wanted it to resemble the way we might hear God speak to us in our heads!

I feel like having the same voice actor for both God and Moses was/is one of the best decisions in film history. I actually got into a debate with my boyfriend over it. Our final decision was that the only way it could've been topped is if Morgan Freeman was involved.

The music to the songs in this movie as well as the lyrics are by Stephen Schwartz.

Plan on it!

@@nickflix8657 It's not something that comes up often, but I don't think I knew anyone who didn't know this story. Though I have to admit, that around here "The Ten Commandments" were on TV on Christmas for decades. Your reactions not even knowing the story were interesting. If you compare "The Prince of Egypt" to "The Ten Commandments" I find both movies would get the same high raiting from me. The story is the same, but they put weigh on different parts of the story. One of the big differences it that 'Commandments' forgets that they were brothers. While the epic scenes in 'Prince' are good, they pale to those in 'Commandments'. 'Prince' shows a very human Moses, while 'Commandments' shows off the plagues more. And both movies have an equally stellar cast. So in overall quality they are both on the same level. There is only one detail where 'Commandment' leads and that's spectacle. It's 'real' and you will ask yourself "How? How did they do that." Though 'Commandments' is a long movie, but worth the time.

YESS!!

You just wrapped your head around it tho....

It's easy to simply say, to truly comprehend the real meaning of it is entirely different

Actually God saying "I am" is not quite Him saying that He is existince. (Something that can come across as a pantheism or panentheism). Rather the statement "I Am" is saying that He has always existed: before all things, and above all things. The queation: Who are you? The answer being "I Am" It is not a typical answer but it is also contrasting and showing how God simply is, the Egyptians had gods for everything and all of them had their own names. The revelation of who He is, not by name but by being sets Him appart. (There is a lot of discussion on the theology of the name of God. Simply because He himself is not seen to reveal Himself by name to people, (Untill Jesus). But all the names we do hear are ascribed to the character and nature of God.) In the origional text though often we will see either: El, or Yahweh, based on context and purpose. Sometimes in english translations the rendering LORD will be used. (All capitals being important as with capitalizing "He" when the subject is God.) Anyways this is a bit of a ramble of several points, and its been awhile since I have opened some books that tackle this matter deeper. But it is truly a facinating study.

@@Grayson.P Eloheim, YHVH, Jehova, Yeshua (Jesus, but more accurately, Joshua). What I find interesting is oheim is a plural. Eloheim means Gods, and the Bible refers to "we" in Genesis, implying a plurality of God, not singular. This may be a reference to the Trinity, and it may be something else. Trying to consolidate the Torah, or Old Testament, with the New Tesament is fascinating.

@@marshalljarnagin9370 Yep

Interesting fact: it's only implied in the text, but the reason God, Yahweh, sent the spefific plagues he did was because it was basically a flex on the Egyptian pantheon to prove his superiority to both the Hebrews and the Egyptians. Rameses basically says he has no rhyme or reason to free the Hebrews because his gods were greater. God basically accepts the challenge and shows his mastery over creatiom, exercising power over all of the domains of Egyptian life over wbich they believed their owk gods reogned supreme. He was basically saying their gods were nothing to him, so if he tells pharaoh to free the Hebrews, he'd do well to listen, which of course he eventually did. Unfortunately, he didn't listen until after his pride caused a lot of unnecessary turmoil and suffering, ultimately at thr cost of hid own son's life because he wouldn't let go of his own ego.

Traditionally, most people depict the stories of the Bible by the culture they were raised in rather than for historical accuracy. Pictures are pictures and they don’t have to be accurate.

This film does have a most, if not all, white voice cast, and whilst they did an excellent job, I do think it is a little sad they didn't have actors from that actual region play these characters

We aren’t called Hebrew’s anymore buddy just say Jews

Omg i didn’t know that, i love that she did that, it reminds me of Phil Collins who also did that for Tarzan

I hate that they did that for the voice of God. Now I can’t unhear it. If it’s just going to be the cast or Val Kilmer than what is the point of it really?

@@realSimoneCherie I believe the official reason was to avoid controversy. I think it makes sense from a thematic perspective. God says "I am that I am," which can be interpreted as him being everything, and thus having a voice that is everyone's voice combined.

Yesss good point. Yet God used it to manifest his power

It was God who did wonders

Yeah

You could argue that God basically opted to use Moses' staff as sort of a focus in which to act through. Given that this is an OT story, God was actually more limited in what they were capable of, and it wasn't until the NT when God started to experience power creep XD

All accurate to the biblical account. Taken straight from the texts, which makes it even more amazing. Love it. :)

Imagine if your siblings were Jeff Goldblum and Sandra Bullock. Heck yeah!

And your adoptive father was Sir Patrick Stewart.

@@Ninjewdi and if your adoptive brother was Ralph Fiennes, your wife Michelle Pfieffer, and your father-in-law Danny Glover.

Same here. :)

I don’t know if he can handle the Tarzan soundtrack. Phil Collins went SO HARD on every track.

@@clairefutrell5089 I know but it's so good! Such an underrated Disney film :D

I saw the musical. It sucked unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I’ve heard bits of the musical and they messed with some of the crucial songs. It just doesn’t hit as hard as the movie does.

They’re completely different from what we understand about God and his angels.

It's why I like the depiction in this of the Burning Bush. It's an otherworldly essence surrounding the bush, but the only comparison he would have to compare would be 'like fire'.

Kind of an error in the story there I think. Didn't the entire "stones" come after they were lost for nearly 40 years? Their long time lost being the reason for the "Golden calf". They had lost faith in Moses' ability to lead them. I'm just saying dude looks rather young carrying those stones.

My favorite part is the burning bush scene. The "I am that I am." taken straight outta the bible. Makes me cry

@@Londronable that was 40 years yes after GOD sent them water from stone and manna from heaven and meat from birds. They complained so many times but Moses pleaded that God would spare them. It was a grace to a disgrace situation

@@skits_3d824 At 20 miles/day of walking they could go around the planet every 3 and a half year or so. God could have given them a map if he wanted to be graceful. Trapping people in a room doesn't mean you're graceful for providing them food.

@@Londronable He gave them something else. You know that pillar of fire? Yeah that lead them at night and a pillar of cloud lead them during the day. It was faith that lead them

Well for an atheist is like good mithology, where different religious people can like.

Hell yes
