Fun fact: this production took such care to consult all three religions depicting Moses’s story-Christianity, Judaism, and Islam- and that’s one reason it’s so respectful and impactful.

I was super religious growing up and this is the only “religious” movie i rewatch as an adult. Ofra Haza’s voice gives me chills every time I hear it.

Is it just me or are animation movies nowadays are lacking with these types of epic stories that tackle huge themes but still manages to be kid-friendly? I kinda wished Dreamworks (or even Disney which is a long shot) would take huge risks like this again, even though the new Puss in Boots is a step in the right direction.

did you know that the voice actress for the mother of moses is the same in every language of this movie??? she's incredible

An amazing hint at him remembering his mother's melody was him whistling it while walking around the palace. He knows the melody by heart which was probably why it was so effective to hear that exact one sung by his sister.

I may be an atheist, but I am still in awe at how incredible this film is. It truly is a masterpiece of visual storytelling and animation, and it is clear that everyone put their heart and soul into it.

For those curious: in the real story of Moses, the reason the Pharaoh had those Hebrew babies killed was a bit darker. In the biblical story, it wasn’t that the Jewish people had “grown too numerous” but rather that he had a dream or vision of a Hebrew man raising his slaves against them and destroying Egypt. You’ll notice in the original story it was only baby boys born that year that were killed. That’s why

In the Bible, Moses was horrible at public speaking and had a bad stutter, so while he was sending the plagues, his brother Aaron was the one negotiating to have the slaves freed. Also, it was Miriam that negotiated with the princess to have the mother work in the palace as Moses' nurse as a means of freeing her from slavery. The staff was Aaron's as well.

Fun fact the parting of the Red Sea scene took TWO YEARS to complete 👏 the commitment to this film WOW no wonder it’s so amazing

To answer your question Sophia, this story is a pretty faithful adaptation of what’s in the Bible. I’d say that the biggest change they made was the role of Aaron (Moses’ biological brother). In the Bible Moses has an actual speech impediment. When he speaks with God through the burning bush he tells God that he can’t be the one who was chosen to save the Hebrews because he is “slow of speech”. God sends Aaron along on all these meetings with Aaron to do the actual talking. So…although there isn’t much explanation we can kind of presume that Aaron and Moses were closer in real life. The importance of this (in my opinion) is that Moses’ weakness emphasizes the strength of who God is. Throughout the Bible, God chooses people that society views as weak (second-born sons, people from low social classes, women lol) to carry out his plan. This is to show that they don’t succeed through their own strength but through Gods power

ok ok ok so I'm 3 minutes in let me just say some things I'm Christian and exodus it's literally one of my favorite books on the bible so let me just say this is an AMAZING adaptation, they did it so well, so beautiful, the scene with the burning tree when God first speaks to Moses it's like they ripped directly from the bible BUT yes there are some changes let me point it out just for some trivia moment: Moses's mother don't actually die without seeing him again, when he is rescued (by the pharaoh's daughter, not wife) she can't breast feed him so Mirian convinces her to take Moses's mother as a wet nurse when Moses goes back to Egypt he's like more than a 100 idk he's like really old his wife stays back when he goes on his journey to stay with his kids and they get together again in the way to the promised land he sees the promised land from afar but never gets in it, he dies first 😢

I went to a Catholic school district for 10 years. I can now confidently say that the best part about that whole upbringing was getting to watch this movie in classes (and also Veggietales) Edit: You asked for people raised Christian to give thoughts on the adaptation, so I'll do that. This movie is a phenomenal adaptation. Sure, there's obviously some stuff that was changed for dramatization, but this movie is so phenomenal all across the board.

As a Christian with Jewish heritage, I adore this movie. It's not an accurate adaptation, not really. But it is an incredibly faithful one where it represents the heart of the story, and the emotional impact it could have had from another angle of storytelling. The music is stunning, the faith feels real, and the relationships are heartbreaking. I couldn't praise this movie more.

Funfact: Removing the nose from a statue of a pharaoh was a common way to insult and defame a deceased ruler in ancient Egypt and to deactivate the life force of the dead pharaoh believed to reside within the statue. That is why many Egyptian statues are missing a nose. Sometimes the whole statues of the previous pharaohs and all the pictures that depicting them were completely destroyed and their names were cut out of the carvings, but it was less common than just removing the noses.

As a Christian, I didn't have that much hope for this movie but after one watch it became one of my FAVORITES! I'm so happy when I see people, religious or non-religious enjoy this movie because it's incredible!

egyptologist here: another amazing thing that people cannot really talk about/comment on but which is SO cool -- a lot of the art and imagery shown in this movie is taken directly from objects we have. even moses' sandals are based on tutankhamun's sandles, with the bound enemies (that you walk on your enemies with every step) -- the artists consulted 80+ religious experts (christian, jewish, and muslim) and many egyptologists as well. some of the hieroglyphs are even readable! so many movies that depict ancient egypt get it SO wrong, but this movie really takes great care in every aspect and even if you don't know about it, you can really feel it. which is what makes it so good. an amazing movie, my only gripe being the white casting for people like rameses (tho mr finnes did pop off), at least they actually showed egyptians as POC!! -- though many of the jewish characters are played by jewish actors like michelle pfeiffer and jeff goldblum!

The guys from the KZfaq Cinema Therapy did an EXCELLENT job of reviewing this movie. Jono is a marriage counselor and psychiatric psychologist and his buddy is a Movie Director. They handle this movie from both angles & go in-depth about many other movies or popular pop culture TV, you should definitely give their chanel a go (Especially when it comes to the Prince of Egypt, it's about siblings falling apart and Moses'es shift in perspective after finding out he is Hebrew). Big fan from the Balkans here! ❤❤❤

This movie may just be the greatest thing DreamWorks has ever released. The animation is incredible, it follows the story as written in the Bible almost verbatim, the score is perfect, (infact, this movie won an Oscar for Best original score,) and the bond, turned rivalry, turned hatred between Moses and Rameses was so fantastically and maturely written. Nothing the studio has released since has quite topped this in terms of pure cinematic scale.

Fun fact, this movie was the most expensive animated movie of its time to make, with the water CGI taking so much time to render, but it made back its money and then some. It's a genuine masterpiece.

The “Alice in wonderland” moment is a surprisingly common approach to storytelling, where the protagonist suddenly sees their beautiful world without blinders or a filter on.

One movie that I recommend that was also old DreamWorks is Spirit:Stallion of the Cimarron, it's such a beautiful and heartwarming story.

17:25 that is the most accurate and perfect (hypothetical) casting choice I have ever seen. It literally looks like they designed Moses' character based off of him

The animation holds up better than modern films I think too. The way the water looks, the facial expressions, also the music! This is such an epic film. I did have bias though because when I was a child I was obsessed with ancient Egypt so this and the mummy were replayed in our house a lot 😂

Cool fact: each of the ten plagues correlates with one of the major Egyptian gods. Also, Moses was eighty years old when he returned to Egypt . I also remember watching a documentary about the timeframe of the Exodus and how new archeological evidence suggests that Moses was even earlier in history than Rameses Ii (the Pharaoh in this movie is based on what many scholars believe, he is nameless in the Bible) in the Old Kingdom times. Also, please watch Joseph: King of Dreams next! It's a wonderful and underrated prequel.

This is one reason why Disney started locking these classics in their vault. I loved this movie and the hand drawn animation.

30:36 Does anyone realize the deep emotion between that final goodbye between Rameses and Moses? Rameses just drove away the only family he had left. That cry at the end is him begging for Moses to come back. It gets even sadder when Moses has to turn away from the brother who he grew up with all of his life. This is probably the saddest thing I never realized as a kid.

Hotep and Huy were almost on the level of the Gargoyles from Hunchback for me. I know why they're there but I wish they went a little differently with the comedic angle. Unlike the Gargoyles though, who I think could have been completely cut from Hunchback, they are a good plot device for the movie when having to combat God's miracles that Moses starts laying out. Apparently their song, Playing with the Big Boys, was going to be way over the top like Timon's comedic distraction for the Hyenas in Lion King. But they decided to tone it down to something more haunting while keeping the same lyrics.

Yaaay my fav movie 🍿💖✨😩 Some fun facts about the movie Sophie 1. You can see Moses whistling her mother's lullaby that's why when her sister sings it he remembers. 2. Ralph phiennes aka Voldemort is Ramses voice(perfect casting🌟) 3. When giving God a voice they combined all the voices from the cast which gives an ominous but cool presence. 4. There IS a live musical but I haven't seen it so I don't know Love your videos keep it up girl 💖💖💖

I wasn't raised religious at all but this movie was played CONSTANTLY. I think because my mom bought a as many "kids" movies with adopted characters as she could for me (this, Hercules, Tarzan, etc.) Through Heavens Eyes still makes me cry.

"I did not see because I...did not WISH to see." Arguably the most important line in the film. And provides a spectrum that often gets abused, on both ends. Willful ignorance is a powerful thing. Not because it permeates EVERY society whose function is based on a hierarchy of those who are served vs those who serve, but because it can be so subtle and nuanced that we often have NO idea where our blinders are. For Moses, he was exposed to the plight of the Hebrews from the moment he could walk... technically longer, but you really only start to notice incongruencies in your life when you start to physically and verbally interact with the world. Is this where he decided to see these these people as slaves? Or where he was first instructed to do so? After all, every person in this films has blinders on...and they all see things a certain way. Seti KNEW that the Hebrews were Hebrews....he says as much when Moses asks him how he could allow such filicide. But to Seti, the Hebrews have ALWAYS been slaves. They built his kingdom, established his dynasty and were firmly under his control...so long as their numbers are manageable and their spirit remains broken. A happy kingdom and lasting governance has always been built on the backs of slaves... so why should that ever change? Same for Ramses. According to his father, "one weak link can break the chain"...and setting the slaves free? That would shatter it. He couldn't stand to be less than what his father was...in fact, the swelling of the temples, statues and monoliths during his reign was his way of saying "My link is the strongest there ever was!" His subjects swell in wealth and prestige thanks to Ramses. Even to help a brother, Ramses cannot see past his own hubris. He is the morning and the evening star...and why should that ever change? Queen Tuya doesn't question the arrival of a new son in the river. It was a blessing from the Gods and they will guide her/our/their path. You don't question blessings, even if it comes on the tail-end of massive infant slaughter. Thus far, the gods have provided stability, peace, wealth and prosperity to her and her family. Why would THAT ever change? In truth, it was not Moses who first took his blinders off. It was his mother. Rather than wail and beg and plead, Yocheved just ACTED. Her plan was not to overthrow the government killing the children of her community...it was to save her son and have faith that he would be safe. By doing so, her daughter, Miriam, has her blinders removed from a very young age, which finally manifests when Moses appears to her at her home. Her song, though heartbreaking, takes Moses out of his established world long enough to ask a question: who am I? Problem is, after that hallucinatory dream and the horrifyingly cold confession from his father (arguably Patrick Stewart at his most creepy), Moses can't NOT see what's happening. He's like a college kid who SUDDENLY figures out just how big and f*cked up the world around them really is (Free Tibet, Break the Glass Ceiling, Trans Rights NOW, etc). He SEES the Hebrews...not slaves, not chattel...PEOPLE, and their oppression, at the hands of those who call him family. And, like a teenager, his first reaction to such injustice is poorly planned out. Most young people who march against the the corruption of Wall-street...they don't kill an investment banker as a form of protest. Ashamed, Moses runs. He's angry, confused, lost, gives himself to the desert...and is saved (spared?) because his job is not done yet. As I said, people will abuse this spectrum in many ways. Moses experiences both sides of this. When he was growing up, he was apathetic or even blind to those who suffered under the heel of his father. People do this all the time...they can't or don't watch the news, they assume everything is alright and that they can't/shouldn't get involved in righting the injustices of the world. These people ignore the bruises on a woman's body when they KNOW she is being beaten, they refuse to see the homeless even as they stand soaking in the rain, they treat war and scandal and institutionalized brain-washing as 'a part of life...never to be changed or stopped, only endured.' When Moses is 'awakened', he sprints to the other extreme...and it costs a man his life. Again, far too common when those who interpret injustice as a carte-blanche license to abuse power; blowing-up abortion clinics, spreading rumors or lies about devious governmental agendas, lumping people together based on superficial attributes because it's easier to see them as 'the problem' instead of 'people'. These are the folks that will change the world 'by any means necessary...and to hell with the cost'. By the time Moses returns, his faith in God is mostly restored. His miracles start as warnings..."you've seen what I can do, what God has commanded me to do, what God is doing THROUGH me. I'm not here to steal from you, I'm not here seeking revenge or blood for what you have done...just let my people go." He is neither passive nor hyper-zealous. He does not want war, but cannot abide slavery in its place. He loves his brother, but cannot BE the brother Ramses wants. He has found a balance. He is merely a prophet. And not a prophet as in "Jesus has appeared to me in a piece of burnt toast!", but a prophet as in "I turned the Nile to BLOOD, I set disease upon your ENTIRE kingdom, I called upon a SWARM of Locusts and pulled BURNING HAIL from the F*CKING SKY." You said it yourself, Ramses SEES all this, he's aware that this is not illusion. But his blinders stay on...and it costs him his kingdom, his dynasty and his son. It costs Moses his brother, too...and their relationship, their bond, sells the tragedy of their personal story within the film. It couldn't have ended any other way and they earned that last, mournful moment of Ramses wailing into the sea. A fitting end for both of them. I could write another 19 paragraphs about the score, the scale, the animation, the artwork, the music, but you pretty much summed it up. Still my favorite animated film, ever. Period. End of story. I love me some Disney, but this film blows most of the competition out of the water. I saw it in theaters at 12 and it has stayed with me for the last 25 years...outstanding achievement and a testament to how professional, heartfelt, detail-oriented and conscientious films can rattle your bones. I hope more people see it. Great vid! So glad this film made it on to your schedule. Maybe we do 'Road to El Dorado' if you decide to cover something less heavy. 😄

This is a very accurate adaptation of the Biblical story as well as being a stellar piece of animation. As the big baby I am I do cry every single time Tzipporah looks at Moses and says "They're free." cause it's like what seemed impossible came to pass. Also thanks again for another awesome video! Your genuine sense of wonder and astonishment was infectious and I was so here for it.

I'll never get bored of Prince of Egypt, it holds up SO WELL. I still remember my eyes being blessed when I watched this masterpiece for the first time in class back in 7th grade. I love this film so much it's become a tradition for me to watch this every Holy Week as well lol

I saw this in the theatre when I was younger. Moses' dream sequence and the parting of the Red Sea were breathtaking on the big screen. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!

I was very into the production of this masterpiece. Apparently, if you were bad, they would send you into gulag which was the animation team for Shrek 😂 when I found out how long it took them to animate the parting of the red sea, my respect for their work was off the oceanic charts! Aloha from Hawaii! 🌺

I grew up catholic and went to catholic school. We watched this movie and the Joseph King of dreams a lot. I am no longer religious but I still enjoy these movies. The music and animation in this one are amazing! I'm so glad you made a video reacting to it. The choir at my one school used to do the When you Believe for every Christmas concert. Anyway I hope you are doing well and I hope you have a wonderful day.

16:20 Thirsting over Moses' glow-up was both adorable and hilarious.

Regardless of any religious themes, the movie is just sooooo good. I have definitely rewatched this as an adult just for the music lol

This movie is absolutely iconic for every reason you mentioned, but also that behind the Dreamworks scenes, Shrek was also being made. The pure creative sauce there to have cranked out these two bangers.

An epic animated masterpiece that's as good as the original TEN COMMANDMENTS.

I think I read somewhere that the cgi in the scene where Moses parts the sea took them two years to make. You can definitely see the time put into it if that’s true, it looks better than some cgi today

As a Christian myself, I love this film, but the one change from the source material is that Moses knew he was Hebrew and the person he saved actually scolded Moses thinking he did it to show he was Master over him and this humble Moses more. This contributes to why Moses feels more unworthy to be God’s servant

This is extremely accurate to the story. Some parts are not accurate but as a Christian I don't mind that it's not exact since it's sooooooo good.

One of my favourite details in this movie are the two Egyptian guards you can see leaving their posts during when you believe. All throughout the Red Sea scene, you can see them walking along and helping the Jews.

went to see this in theaters when it came out and it had my momma in tears! rewatching it once i got older had me awestruck. such a masterpiece !!!!

You were asking if Moses could really remember the lullaby he heard as a baby, and the answer, from a psychological standpoint, is yes. Simple things like tasting a certain food, smelling a certain scent, and even hearing a certain song can all trigger very specific memories you may have forgotten. If you go back to the very beginning of the scene between Moses and Ramses on the balcony after Pharaoh chastised them, you can hear Moses softly whistling the melody of the lullaby his mother sang to him before she set him adrift. The lullaby has always been with him in the corners of his mind, but they were never at the forefront until that inciting incident when he met Marian and Aaron.

This movie works for people who aren't religious as well, imo. Because overall it's a GREAT story and it's so beautifully done. I remember reading that those who 'failed' animating this film got sent to work on Shrek as punishment

Moses is one of my favorite Bible stories. Currently going through the book of Exodus at our church and I am learning more and more things about this story each week. One thing to note is that in Egypt the Pharoah is considered to be a "god-king", he interprets the will of the gods for his people. So when he ordered that the sons of the Hebrews needed to die, it was taken as an order from the gods. The soldiers weren't the only ones to throw the babies into the Nile. By throwing the babies into the Nile they were sacrificing them to the Egyptian god Hapi (pronounced Happy) who ensured that the Nile flooded each year and the crops grew. That's why it was so important for Moses to get the Pharoah to agree to let them go, his blessing was considered the gods blessing.

Who knew Voldemort had such a beautiful singing voice 😢

While not mentioned I love the two guards that joined the Hebrews as they were leaving. And you can still see them being apart of the crowd. It wasn’t a one-off joke

First: your hair looks soooo gorgeous omg 😳 Second: I'm Christian and this is my favorite movie soundtrack ever and one of my favorite movies period. I do get in trouble at church when I can't remember what actually happened in the Bible and what happened in the movie 😅. I wish there were more movies like this, ones with clear religious meaning but fundamentally about family and not losing hope so that people of all backgrounds can appreciate it. Last: Another DreamWorks movie I would LOVE for you to react to that has my other favorite soundtrack is Spirit! Its so ballsy for an early 2000s movie and Disney would Never have the guts to make it 😌

The image they used as the family portrait in "All I ever Wanted" is actually based off of carvings of Nefertiti and Akhenaten and their children.

My three favorite religious films: The Nativity Story (Oscar issac) Joseph: the king of dreams (prequel to the Prince of Egypt) The prince of Egypt What I love about all of these is that they shove religion down your face. It is set in a biblical setting and God is part of it, but the heart of each story is the people. You see their souls and motivations. While I am Christian, I am not overly religious, but each time I hear stories from the Bible, I focus on them as lessons that we can learn from including this one.

28:24 Yes, this was 1998. 😎 (One year after Anastasia, and one year before The Mummy with Brendan Fraser)

The whole movie gives me chills. From the character development of Moses and Rameses to the animation, voice lines and music itself. No doubt the best DreamWorks movie

The prince of Egypt is and always will be a masterpiece. There aren’t many renowned Christian films let alone animated ones, so I’m glad that there is one of this calibre. It’s perfect

I LOVE PRINCE OF EYGPT THANK YOU

A good aspect to note is that before his sister sings the song that makes him remember, he is whistling the tune of it earlier in the movie, so he did subconsciously remember.

the guy who voiced ramsés was Ralph Fiennes, the actor who played Voldemort, that´s why his voice was familiar.

The impact of the lullaby in this is so amazing! Like others have said, him whistling the tune when he's going to meet Rameses at the beginning is a hint for us, but it's so much more! If you think about it more in depth, it's even more impactful. Him whistling it casually in an eveyday moment suggests that it's probably not the first time he whistles it. If he whistles it somehow regularly, he probably asked himself at some point where he knows it from, or someone else would have asked him. He probably asked people around him, his adoptive mom, wet nurses, maids, etc etc but of course no one would have been able to answer him. But this random slave girl, who, to his knowledge, he has never met in his life, sings it to him right away. Imagine everything falling into place in his brain: the melody no one in his life ever knew the origin of, is sung by this slave who says she's his sister. That automatically proves she's saying the truth. He didn't trust her words but he trusted her song. I just love this!

As a Christian this movie hits different, it’s so good that even non-religious people appreciate its quality, but for those of us who believe in the authenticity of the Bible, seeing something like this not only be so high quality but also being appreciated by basically everyone is so heartwarming.

A fun fact: the parting of the red sea scene took either a year or two (can't remember exactly) to create and they had to create a whole new animation style to do it. They don't know how they did it, after all the different struggles, so it can't be replicated.

"He who I called Brother, once I thought the chance to make you laugh, was all I ever wanted!"

The voice actor for Ramses was Voldemort in Harry Potter! Mind blown.

My mother loves watching Moses's movies, and I've watched different versions of this story. I always remembered that Rameses always hated Moses in every different version, but when this came out, it was new to me that Rameses and Moses's brotherly relationship was so good, it was new, and was immediately drawn to that. The story was still the same, but some characters weren't added, it didn't really bother me. But this version is my favorite. It added more impact to Moses since he loved his brother, and now he will destroy him. It gave more drama. Then they added the good, not lazy, animation, despite it being a bible story, because I remember, there were bad ones. I love this movie so much.

2:44 . . . Yes. It’s a great adaptation. My favorite moment when watching when it first came out was when they were walking through the Red Sea and could see the whale shark and other sea creatures swim past them backlit by some flashes of lightning. It took my breath away, the scale and majesty of it. In general, the level of animation they achieved was appropriately epic for honoring such an amazing act of God.

I’m agnostic but I grew up Christian, and I can wholeheartedly agree that this movie is absolutely beautiful. The animation, emotion, and story is incredible. My brother is an atheist and loves this movie as well

I'm a Pagan, but this movie is incredible. The soundtrack is beautiful and so is the art. Its a marvel of a film.

I am also religious (Muslim), and I love this movie! The animation and the music is perfection, I love it all! I would say it's pretty accurate to the Quran, though there are some changes (I assume they're from other religious texts). I'll be referencing the Quran because that's where I know the information from lol. Some context for those who aren't religious: In the beginning of the movie, the pharaoh enslaved the Israelites after the time of the prophet Yusuf (Joseph). Around the time of Musa's (Moses) birth, the Pharaoh has a dream in which he sees fire coming from the city of Jerusalem, which burns everything in his kingdom except in the land of the Israelites. When the Pharaoh is informed that one of the male children would grow up to overthrow him, he orders the killing of all newborn Israelite males in order to prevent the prediction from occurring. Durin that time, GOd purposely hid Musa's mother's pregnancy from view so she can give birth without suspusion. After Musa was born (in the time of the killings), his mother heard God's voice stating to hide her son in the oven when soldiers come to her house. After barging in and not finding any signs of a baby, they leave. God then instructs her to put him in a basket and float him down the river. So, she did it as instructed. She instructed her daughter to follow the basket, which floats down to the pharoah's house where his wife, Asiya, finds the baby. Asiya was a notably reliageous women, believing in God (in secret) rather than the pharoah. She wanted children but couldn't have any and God blessed her with a baby boy. When Asiya brought the baby in front of the pharoah, he loved her very much, and kept the baby. Asiya hired a wet nurse (Musa's biomother) to feed the baby after Musa's sister (who worked for her) told her of a wet nurse. Musa often played on the Pharaoh's lap in his childhood, when one day he grabs the pharaoh's beard and slaps him in the face. This prompts the pharaoh to consider Musa as the Israelite who would overthrow him, and the Pharaoh wanted to kill Musa. Asiya persuaded him not to kill him because he is an infant. Instead, he decides to test Musa. Two items were set before Musa, one containing rubies and the other glowing coals. Musa reaches out for the rubies, but the Angel Gabriel directs his hand to the coals. Musa grabs a glowing coal and puts it in his mouth, burning his tongue. After the incident, Musa suffers a speech defect and had a burnt mark on his palm, but is spared by the pharaoh. One day, Musa was walking in the streets and a Isrealite (one of his friends) calls upon him for help because an Egyptian was harassing him. In a state of anger, Musa strikes him so hard, killing the man instead. Musa was charged with mansalughter and sentenced to death. Musa ranfar away, to a small village where the head was none other than Prophet Shuaib. Musa saves Shuaib's daughter from a couple of men that were harassing her when she went out for water. Shuaib was an elderly man, and had no sons (only daughters) to care for his lands. After inviting Musa for a feast, Shuaib set demands that Musa had to follow through before marrying his daughter. Shuaib told Musa that he had to work as a shepherd for 8 years in return of marriage. After some time spent away from Egypt, Musa and his pregnant wife were traveling though the desert, when his wife told him she was tired and needed to rest. In need of finding a safe spot to set up tent for the night, Musa went out looking for it. Musa notices a light coming from a cave, and upon entering, he notices a fire eminating from a dead tree. There he speaks to God about his mission to free the Hebrew. [Honestly, this is my favourite part of the movie because I just love how beautifully its animated, it gives me goodbumps everytime I watch it]. Also, Due to his speech impediment, Aaron (his brother) was made his second in command and translator by God. Musa had many miracle that were bestowed by God; he had a staff that could turn into the biggest snake (sawllwoing the sorcerers' snakes whole), also the mark on his palm glowed a bright light, which was considered "sorcery" by the pharaoh. THIS IS VERY LONG EXPLANATION IM SORRY I JUST WANTED TO WRITE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MOVIE VS. QURAN. feel free to correct/add anything I missed or any similarites/differences between the Quran and other religious texts!

From what I’ve read, the studio sent “bad animators” who were working on prince of Egypt to work on shrek as punishment and they called it getting “shreked” 😭 how ironic that shrek is now one of the most iconic animations to have been made

They don't have a live action of Prince of Egypt, but they do have The Ten Commandments.

I LOVE this movie, the song the mother sang as she was sending him off on the river gives me chills every time, and often gets stuck in my head

I loveeee this movie. It's a classic to watch during the sabbath and Passover!

As a non religious Jew...I have and always will love this movie. It's just so much culture lol I don't know how to explain it but it just feels like watching my ancestors lol....and then again the music.....the MUSIC!!!

THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES 🥺 IT ALWAYS GIVES ME INSPO WHEN I’M FEELING BURNTOUT 💖💖💖

My favorite fun fact from the movie is that the scene where everyone thinks its a "whale" its actually a shark as if you watch the tail it goes from side to side like a sharks tail vs up and down like a whales'.

As a Christian this is my favourite biblical movie I cried!😊

I have only ever seen this film dubbed in Latin American Spanish, but I always loved the songs, they are way more powerful than they should be, omg they had no right being this good. Also, I was raised catholic even though I’m not religious anymore, and believe me, this film made me scared of god and Jesus and all that rage, I was a little traumatised :S Edit: btw, this is not a good adaptation of the Moses part of the bible, he wasn’t even Ramses’ brother hehe, but still, the main idea is there i think.

I remember seeing this in theaters and I will never forget the awe I felt as a kid. The scenes that get me the most is where moses just crumples after meeting ramses and in the exodus where you see some of the guards joining them.

So criminally underrated!

I don’t believe in any religion, ocult, supernatural or any gobbledygook… yet this movie gives me chills every time, it’s so beautifully and artistically made

This was my FAVORITE movie growing up and I think it was one of the main reasons Moses was my favorite bible stories as a kid! I've been wanting to rewatch it again, but I wanted to delve into your question about the accuracy! It is incredibly accurate to the book of Exodus! (Please give it a read if you're interested!) There were liberties taken, the biggest being the relationship dynamics-espcially Moses and Ramses closeness- because the bible doesn't go super into depth on those things, but with the movie choosing to go that route gave it a since of humanity that God has placed within our hearts, and feeds our souls when it comes to story telling. Other liberties would be timing, like how Moses was actually 40 when he ran away and was 80 by the time he returned to Egypt. (And didn't take Zipporah and their 2 sons with them.) But it did follow incredibly specific things like Moses's snake eating the other snakes, and God's words to Moses in the bush. But I couldn't go and say all of that without sharing the significance of his story within Christianity. Moses was a deliverer of Gods chosen people, the Israelites during this time, showing that God cared for them, and was going to provide their promised salvation from bondage. He brought the law (the 10 commandments) to the Israelites and the Jewish culture refer to Moses as such. But the beautiful thing about Moses's life, is that in several ways, is a foreshadow to Christ. He was born to save his people from a bondage in his day- the oppression from Rome- and brought about a new fulfillment to the law- Himself. But it wasn't only to Jews he offered salvation from their sin (because everyone EXCEPT Jesus has sinned, and the direct result of sin is death, making Jesus the only person to ever have not deserved to die, but took on death to save His creation he loves so deeply) it IS to ANYONE who would call on him and repent (and the Jewish Passover is a direct parallel to Christ being the unblemished lamb that was sacrificed, and his blood guarding those behind the doorframe that spread it from death.) If you do read Exodus, I recommend reading the book of Mark or John first, and please look for who and how you see Christ in them! It makes you not only appreciate the story so much more, but it helps you understand God's heart for YOU in it! We we're in bondage and Christ came to set us free, as challenging of a task it was!!! Thank you for the excellent review!❤ It truly is a masterpiece of a movie!

As a religious person, I think this movie was REALLY spot on!! With minor changes of course, but it is the most biblically accurate adaptation I’ve seen in my 18 years of existing 😊❤

I just noticed that the melody to which the Queen sings to Moses about “not questioning when a blessing is received” is the same one used for The 10 Plagues!

What I notice with the river turning to blood is that you can see the dark red and thickness of the blood, whereas when the Egyptian priests try to replicate it, it still just looks like water, only slightly coloured red. I always thought it was a cool moment to show that God's wonders were the real deal (like with the snake scene) compared to the priests magic/trickery.

Moses did remember the song. He was humming it in the scene at 7:10.

It definitely is, Sophia.😊

I saw this in theatres with my mom and grandmother YEARS ago. Though I am catholic and went to catholic school I' very never been super religious but this movie is totally one of my favorites and I think I like it more now than when I was a kid because I can appreciate the nuisance and the deepness of the brotherhood conflicted with what is ACTUALLY the right thing to do. Poor Rameses just didn't get it. And poor Moses just didn't want to hurt his brother but knew that his people were more important than anything. So beautiful.

I was literally 7 years old when I first watched this on VHS and it's still my favorite movie to this day. I like how it doesn't just tell the story of Exodus, but also tells the story of Moses and Ramses relationship. The music also helps you feel emotion in the scene your watching and gives you chills every time you listen. This is a masterpiece of a movie 10/10

ABSOLUTE PERFECT CAST Val Kilmer Sandra Bullock Jeff Goldblum Michelle Pfeiffer Ralph Fiennes Icon duo Steve Martin & Martin Short Danny Glover Helen Mirren Patrick Stewart Best soundtrack including a song with 2 queens Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston Absolute Perfect Visuals Especially the wall scene, the burning bush and the parting of the red sea BIG OL CHEFS KISS😚😚😚🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

As someone who loves animated movies, and Dreamworks' old animated movies, I confidently recommend Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron to watch, if you haven't reviewed it yet (which I don't think you have). I may be biased by nostalgia since I grew up with it, but I still rewatch it as an adult, and it is still amazing in my opinion. ^^ I also grew up religious, but became atheist in my adulthood, this and Joseph: King of Dreams are both really good, and I love the animation and music.

Love how you picked ups a lot on the animation and symbolism in the background details! This movie was such a mix of overwhelmingly powerful scenes, and smaller details that bring it to life gloriously.

A small note to him remembering the melody from when he was a baby, if you listen at the beginning of the scene where he drops the wine on the priests, as he's walking by the statue he's actually whistling the melody to himself.

Hey! Love your content! I actually studied Bible and theology in college, and we talked about this movie in class a few times when we went through the book of Exodus. This movie is awesome! Of course, creative liberties were taken. Pharaoh decreed that Israelite firstborn boys (

i have a weird sentiment connection with this movie. when i was little my older brother used to be in and out of hospital a lot because of his asthma, but i remember when the nurse would bring the tv and vhs tapes we’d always chose to watch the Prince of Egypt. and the older i got the more i really got to appreciate the beauty and the amazing production of it

I saw the stage version twice in the West End not too long ago. The cast, the music, the choreography, the set pieces & the stage effects were amazing! I love both the stage version & the movie for very different reasons.

The irony of Sophia telling the Egyptian queen "Slay!". 😂

I loved watching Prince of Egypt in the theatres, and being Catholic knew the story they were telling (which is why seeing the soldiers go in for the babies was frightening). The music and visuals were breathtaking and a great visual interpretation of the bible text. For me, however, the most powerful scene in the film was not the parting of the red sea (which was incredible) it was when Moses, having finally got freedom for his people, cast out by brother, dropped his staff and collapsed, breaking down in tears. This moment showed Moses human heart, a view missed in other interpretations. * re-watches are the best. When Moses is setting up the prank on high priests you can hear him hum his mother's lullaby, which he later would remember when his sister signs it to him.

I think the whale may actually be a Whale Shark since its tail fin is moving side to side...? I read once that Whale Sharks can be found in Egypt every so often, so that's my best guess :) Definitely thought it was a whale growing up too though!

18:35 This little snippet links so well with the movie "Joseph", in which we see the pomegranate tree in full green.
