Funny thing, the bible records that the Egyptians themselves went to pharaoh halfway through the plagues and said "bro just let them go already, not worth it"
The fact that Moses is whistling the lullaby after Rameses gets scolded by the father, and the fact that you can see how the wind blows the hair and clothes of the characters... Damn, they really care about those details. Also, the figure of Pharaoh father who is still shaping Rameses even though he is dead (remember the scene where Moses asks Rameses "Don't you remember who Seti was?", And another one when Rameses points out and says "And I think it's time I finish the job")... That is symbolism. Also, I really liked how he reacted to being Hebrew, he is like really shocked and enters in denial state and then in identity crisis. Likez your whole world crumbles. In many stories, it only takes 1 minute or 2 to the protagonist to accept these kinds of things.
Here's another detail that I just noticed. Both Moses and Rameses look just like their mothers. I heard years ago that the genes that determine your appearance is contained on a person's X chromosome, so since girls have two X's that's why we tend to look like a combo of both parents, while boys having only one X tend to look like their mother more often than not.
"Why can't thing be the way they were before?" ... "Isn't that the man who did all this?" "Yes, but one must wonder, why?" "Because no kingdom should be built upon the backs of slaves." Answered both questions in one response.
One of the best non-Disney animated films of all time. And a Bible story done right where never once does it preach at you or demand you join their church. It just tells the story of what happened in the best beautiful way they could have for EVERYONE to see. =)
I’m sorry but this movie has a waay stronger sibling story than Frozen ever did. Yes it’s very sad and tragic Moses and Rameses broke apart in the end, but it really shows how much they still loved each other even as enemies.
I was super emotional when I left the theater after seeing this film as well. I'm not religious but I felt a real sense of spiritual fulfillment upon watching it. I've never had that experience before or since. It was truly a special experience and the movie is now an absolute all-time favorite.
I love this movie. As a Christian this isn’t just a story in the Bible it’s history. The movie takes creative liberties of course, but the idea that the things depicted here more or less happened is just… awesome!
@@judeancupcake7553 Christianity is a continuation of Judaism. As far as im concerned, its a Christian story. Jews have the same history we do, they just dont have the complete book.
As a Muslim, I love this movie. My only real critique is that it is forbidden for us to depict prophets. Other than that i especially love the verses at the very end. Feels like tying the Abrahamic religions together.
@@wowitsfrostygames155 yes and no. Yes, both Jews and Christians believe in the book of exodus. Exodus is in the Torah and the bible. There are kinda 2 different types of Jewish religions (there might be denominations or something like Christians have but I mean in a different way). The original Jewish religion was the same as the Old Testament, when their savior (Jesus) came and saved them, it was technically still the jewish religion just with a new name (Christianity). But in the current time we live in, there is both jewish and Christian religions known to be different. The difference is that this other/new jewish religion isn’t the original jewish religion. Because this other jewish religion doesn’t believe their savior has come.
This was an amazing movie, I'm sad they did not play the lullaby, I began singing the lullaby to both my sons when they were babies. And recently one of the RUclipsrs my oldest watches did a cover of Deliver US from the opening and when the lullaby came on he got real still and quiet then came and gave me a huge hug. He's 25.
As a kid when I grew up watching this when It 1st came out I was sad for Moses' mother cause she had to give him up in order for him to grow up free and happy & not as a slave or worse dead. As a child at the time I cried for the mother and now that I'm a mother myself this hit me even harder
The Hebrew verses at the end of When You Believe always gets me emotional. A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah x2 (I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously) Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai (Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial) Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh (Who is like You, majestic in holiness) Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta (In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed) Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta (In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed) A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra... (I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)
I always loved this nostalgia movie as part of my childhood and I'm thankful that Prince Of Egypt came out the same year I was born, this is still one of DreamWorks greatest animated masterpieces of all time even better than all the animated films.
the kid of Rameses dying haunted me when I watched it young. My family is not religious and is from Europe but being the oldest I still thought that one of these days god would come after me and I couldn't sleep.
This movie is so amazing, and I grew up with this film. There is actually a stage adaption of this film that played in the West End. And when the Covid struck 3 years ago, fans got the chance to submit a video of them singing When You Believe to make a special lock in video. I was one of the selected fans who got to be in the video. The video as well as the musical soundtrack can be found on RUclips. There’s a prequel that was made called Joseph: King of Dreams that’s worth watching. 🧡💙
I've actually listened to the musical soundtrack sometime ago because at the time I was doing theatre, and I was curious how it would be adapted. There were elements of it that I really liked. I'll definitely look up that fan video.
This movie is a big reminder that you can always strive for improvement but at what cost? Sometimes its best to leave things alone or to play out as they are. Such a beautiful movie in all aspects.
This movie is wonderful. I really hope that they never do a live action version, because I know that it won't top this. This movie is so touching and every song is great. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey were a dynamic duo.
They used quite a bit of artistic license to fill gaps not mentioned in the Book of Exodus. Now, there are some things that were changed to make the story but in the Book of Exodus it is the sister not the wife of Pharoh that finds Moses. I don't know the reason for this, but it is not artistic license but a change in the scriptures.
The fish did die. It's mentioned in Psalm 105:26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. 27 They showed His signs among them, wonders and miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt). 28 He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God’s two servants] rebelled not against His word. 29 He turned [Egypt’s] waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
to think, that this is not just a beautiful and touching story, it is very real! God saved his chosen people from slavery in Egypt to set them apart from other nations so that everyone could be saved through them. Because Israel was set free from their pains in Egypt, we can too be set free from our suffering.
18:35 That’s why I find this movie, in many ways, more “true” than, say, “The Ten Commandments.” Yul Brynner is magnificent in that film, but Ramses in that movie is written very one dimensionally; he’s only lacking a long black mustache to twirl. And at this moment in that movie, Charlton Heston is wandering off in “prophet mode,” praising God for his people’s deliverance. Every year at Passover, Jews remember the Plagues, and like this Moses, we regret that deliverance came at such high a price.
yes yocheved weaned moshe, and there is also a midrash that said that batya knew who yocheved was to moshe and who exactly moshe was meant to be when she saw the basket and she disagreed with her fathers decrees, in the torah paroh is batyas father not husband and that he loved moshe very much when moshe was small and there was only a handful of times that the advisorsin his court tried to warn paroh about moshe leading to him having a lisp and later on being sentenced to death for killing a mitzri over an israelite because they saw that as a sign that he was in fact what they suspected when he was a toddler, there are also midrashim and talmudic opinions that he had ruach hakodesh and knew exactly who he was the entire time and used to hang out with levi most of the time as they weren't enslaved to the same extent. in addition aside from simply drowning the jewish male children he also used to take babies and force slaves to put their own babies as pyramid bricks, or he'd round up a load and bathe in their blood for his tzara-as, he believed it would cure him. His court magicians advised him that bathing in the blood of Hebrew infants would cure him. This practice not only magnifies Pharaoh's cruelty but also symbolizes his exploitation of Jewish lives for personal gain. Bathing in blood represented the ultimate dehumanization and desecration of life. It also turned Pharaoh's personal illness into a national moral sickness, as it was his decrees that allowed for such atrocities. Pharaoh, who had bathed in Jewish blood for selfish reasons, was now surrounded by blood everywhere. The water he used to cleanse himself became a reminder of the innocent lives he had taken, a direct confrontation with his sins. The plague of boils, which afflicted Pharaoh and the Egyptians, may be seen as a reflection of the physical suffering Pharaoh had sought to avoid by bathing in blood. Instead of healing, his cruelty resulted in a plague that left him (and others) afflicted with painful sores. there's also a midrash that relates back to the nile specifically since it was such a publicly heinous thing midah k'negged midah during the plague of blood it was the blood of the jewish children that the mitzrim were only able to access from that river. The Midrash describes that during the plague of blood (makkat dam), the crocodiles of the Nile began to cough up the blood they had consumed when devouring the Jewish babies drowned in the river. Just as the Egyptians used the Nile as a tool of oppression and murder, the very creatures within it-once complicit in the horrors-were forced to expose the atrocities. The crocodiles' actions would have been a public and undeniable display of the Egyptians' crimes. The river they worshipped and relied upon became a source of shame and disgust, its desecration highlighting the moral corruption of Pharaoh's regime. please note that the paroh who did these awful things is not the same paroh moshe greets, as the paroh who raised him very paternally was niftar (dead) the new paroh refused to recognize yosef or any of his contributions to egypt as such he perpetuated the slavery and made the work harder on them, and ever still refused to let them go and disobeyed Hashem. Thus- plagues. fun fact: moshe switching around heads is an easter egg in the film relating to a the story of how Avraham rebelled against idolatry :) This subtle reference helps connect the story of Moses, the liberator, to the broader Jewish narrative of rejecting idol worship and striving for the belief in one God, which is central to Jewish monotheism. It's a creative and clever way for the filmmakers to link the stories of Moses and Abraham, both of whom are pivotal figures in Jewish history and the rejection of idolatry. it also beautifully displays how moshe was very much a hebrew, to the core. the apple doesn't fall far from the great-great-great-grandfather tree ;)
Honestly, I don't see how anyone can continue worshipping Egyptian gods if they witnessed all of that. I mean if I was a citizen fo that city, and I witnessed all of that, and my Egyptian gods did nothing in retaliation, then I'd leave with Moses and the slaves. I'd be like "Uh I believe what you believe." XD Your god nearly destroyed this city to free his people. My gods did nothing, but watched. I think I'm riding with you. XD
Everyone in the comments and the sweet lady who made this video repent of your sins, and turn to Jesus Christians in the comments section of this video spread the gospel to everyone in Jesus name amen
Funny thing, the bible records that the Egyptians themselves went to pharaoh halfway through the plagues and said "bro just let them go already, not worth it"

The art wall nightmare and the 10 plagues scene actually scared me when I was younger
The fact that these two scenes still haunt me as an adult says so much about the thought that went into this film.
And it sometimes makes me tear up as an adult
"Why can't thing be the way they were before?"
...
"Isn't that the man who did all this?"
"Yes, but one must wonder, why?"
"Because no kingdom should be built upon the backs of slaves."

I nearly cried when Moses was talking to God so you are not alone 😅
10:11 it was voiced by Val Kilmer as the God and Moses.
Man I'm a 22 year old grown man who accepted Jesus 2 weeks ago and this scene made me cry a lot 😂
I noticed that, whenever he runs and escapes, Moses becomes a tiny figure in contrast to the big buildings and surroundings. Beautiful shots.
7:05 yep
The brother relationship... So tragic. Moses fulfilled his mission, but at the cost of, amongst others, the relationship with his brother 😢.
I know😭
I wish he could have gone with him or made amends in the end, but I guess in the end it just wasn’t meant to be.😢😢😢😢
@@mackenziecollins2688this movie shows what sacrifice means.
In the Bible Ramses and Moses are not that close. Actually Ramses is a piece of shit 😂 always jealous of Moses, for the attention ect.
I’m sorry but this movie has a waay stronger sibling story than Frozen ever did. Yes it’s very sad and tragic Moses and Rameses broke apart in the end, but it really shows how much they still loved each other even as enemies.

you don't have to be "religious" to have God gently tug at your heart to remind you He's there... just sayin'.
This movie brought Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey together. Its a classic off that alone
I love this movie. As a Christian this isn’t just a story in the Bible it’s history. The movie takes creative liberties of course, but the idea that the things depicted here more or less happened is just… awesome!
This is not a Christian story, it's a Jewish story.

10:02 “Here’s the thing: if that was me…”
Me: Ready for something profound and inspirational
“I would run, probably… probably”
😂
Best animated movie of all time, period!
Very good reaction 👍
The burning bush scene always brings tears to my eyes
It is so beautiful
Such a gorgeous film
this is my favorite animated movie, the third plauge scene is one of the most beautiful and horrifying part of any animated movie.
This was an amazing movie, I'm sad they did not play the lullaby, I began singing the lullaby to both my sons when they were babies. And recently one of the RUclipsrs my oldest watches did a cover of Deliver US from the opening and when the lullaby came on he got real still and quiet then came and gave me a huge hug. He's 25.

I loved your reaction. I have been bawling my eyes off from the beginning, middle, and especially the end with the epic score.
The Hebrew verses at the end of When You Believe always gets me emotional.
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah x2
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)
I have always had the same question, about how Ramases gets up and down from that statue…
Fave reaction to this movie
ayee I'm glad I found this channel lol I feel you on the being the oldest, I'm not the oldest but definitely see how y'all get treated 😭
I always loved this nostalgia movie as part of my childhood and I'm thankful that Prince Of Egypt came out the same year I was born, this is still one of DreamWorks greatest animated masterpieces of all time even better than all the animated films.
I was born a year before the prince of Egypt was released.
@@nathancruz9172Same here, I was born on October 18.
Underrated movie by far. We own a copy, but we need to re-watch it.
I freaking love how they add so many verses and psalms and phrases that are actually from the Bible in the movie and the songs as well.
the kid of Rameses dying haunted me when I watched it young. My family is not religious and is from Europe but being the oldest I still thought that one of these days god would come after me and I couldn't sleep.
Thats song about last lullaby always makes me cry 😢.

Best reaction of this movie!
it's one of my favorites too, I saw it in my childhood
7:06 me too.
YEEEEEEESS!! I’m always looking for more POE reactions!

Legit reaction. Blessings
Hey congratulations on the first 100, i have a feeling 1k wont take all too long, but anyway this is a good movie
Thank you!
Do you know why Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years? Because he wouldn't stop and ask for directions.
And the directions he did get just weren't good enough for the Hebrews. 😂
love the video, but when i saw the thumbnail, I was certain that your picture was part of the poster.
19:46 gets me every time.
The fish did die. It's mentioned in Psalm 105:26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They showed His signs among them, wonders and miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt).
28 He sent [thick] darkness and made the land dark, and they [God’s two servants] rebelled not against His word.
29 He turned [Egypt’s] waters into blood and caused their fish to die.
"How heartless do you have to be to snatch up babies..." - wow, in light of recent events, I guess not much has changed in thousands of years.
to think, that this is not just a beautiful and touching story, it is very real!
God saved his chosen people from slavery in Egypt to set them apart from other nations so that everyone could be saved through them.
