This was Dreamworks's first traditional, hand-drawn animated musical. So, they went *all*-out. They knew they needed to make a *big* impression. And, by God, they did.
That’s still my favorite Dreamworks movie.
@@nathancruz9172 Personally, this has to be THE best animated film of all-time.
@@fynnthefox9078 agreed
@@fynnthefox9078 even for non-religious people this animation and story, fake or real, is absolutely beautiful
By God indeed
The female vocalist for Moses' mother sang her part in each language for each countrys release.
Now that's dedication!
You don't see much dedication in most animated projects these days!
@@nicktechnubyte1184 Not that this was the norm back then, man. And besides how exceptional could you call this if it was?
Ofra Haza was a real treasure for the whole world
Ofrah Haza was THE diva of the Israeli music scene. There are streets and parks and such named after her in Israel.
@@xyzdgthereal may she RIP, fuck HIV/AIDs.
You don't need to be religious to recognize this as a great story.
Exactly! The Bible has some fantastic mythology. Some of it… not so much. But this one is awesome and this film is stellar
@@83gemm the Bible truly is the book of life :)
@@Kerenscardi Well, no. That’s very much not what I said. Just with this story, it’s pretty unfair that Moses doesn’t get to get into paradise in the end. Also the whole Lot and his daughters story - couldn’t make a musical about that one.
But this particular part of the story and the film make a great story.
@@83gemm Moses didn't get to go to the promised land because he disobeyed God. He did things his own way in the desert and before that as well, as did so many others and the price for that was that they lost out on their opportunity to see the promised land. I don't think it meant that he wasn't allowed into Heaven. He did have faith in God and I do believe that he repented of what he did wrong. None of us has ever been perfect and God has always known that, and that's why He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us. To give us a way to get to HIm and to save us. He loves us that much and this was always his plan. He just had to lay down the foundation for it first by giving Moses the Ten Commandments first.
@Cannibal Teddy 😂😂😂😂Ok, but I feel like there could be a musical comedy about the really crazy stuff in the Bible.
Things to be noted.
First, the final plague was unique among others because God was actually gonna have the Pharaoh choose the final plague. The Pharaoh was not aware of this, but Moses was which only makes that scene worse. You can tell Moses wants to stop Ramasese before he says something he can’t take back. This was what lead to the killing the firstborn.
However, final plague wasn’t just the firstborn “children.” It’s the firstborn. Firstborn Adults, firstborn animals, even plants. the FIRSTBORN!
In a time where the firstborn played a huge part in politics, marriages, etc.
It was pretty bad.
It is extremely sad and should not be ignored, but just as a reminder, because so many people miss the point, remember that the Egyptians had enslaved the Hebrews (who were originally their allies before enslavement) for years on end, killing plenty in the process.
The Nile turning into blood was actually a reminder to the Egyptians, “Hey, remember ya’ll coming and killing all the Hebrew Babies? Butchering them? Throwing them in the Nile to be eaten? This is a quick reminder of that.”
This is not God killing the Egyptians for nothing, and it’s not even God wanting to play executioner like many people think. It’s just justice, straightforward as that.
Even then, God pays this back with his own Son (Jesus) dying on the cross as the last sacrifice.
I felt the blood in the Nile is the same blood from the children they dumped in the river. Like a "hey, you get the bathe in the blood of the children you killed"
@@wierdgamer3067 I think so too. And that makes it even better. They have to face what they did in more ways than one.
Ramasese the 3rd would later go on to be killed in the "Harem Conspiracy". Possibly arranged by his second wife. Supposedly the latter half of his long reign was in fact a decline for Egypt. Exodus or no his reign never got better.
Wait, so why didn’t Ramses die too then? Wasn’t he the firstborn as well? Are there previous children we’re not told about who just didn’t make it past infancy? Or was a special exception made just for him?
@@jordinagel1184 I'd personally say a peaceful, quick death is a mercy too good for the sins that Rameses had continued to act upon.
The Prince of Egypt is one of the best depictions of this story that I have seen. The animators spent 2 years working on the water animation to make the Red Sea moment as epic as possible. Another fun fact, Ralph Fiennes voiced Rameses! He was Voldemort in Harry Potter too! Thanks for reacting to this and showing it some appreciation!
Spielberg used a lot of his connections with the Shoah foundation after making Shindler's list to consult on this adaption all the way through, and you really feel it in every frame.

There are closet trannes in the cast and this is a gospel production...This is off limits and blasphemous. Study up on how they have been hiding this truth from everyone: they can easily mimick the voice and--while not easily--they can mimick the look enough to pass. Most of the skeletal markers will remain(most notably the back/middle area of the body and no photo should exist that is atypical of the person that they are claiming to be). Some are very good passers: Jessie AIbah(original F4 movie), Vannessa Willyums(former Miss America and common actress over the years), Hallie Berry(X-men's Storn plus many other roles), Emily Proctor(CSI), Gail O'Grady(B-movie quean), and Marg Helgenberger(CSI) are great examples, but their skeletons belie who they claim to be. And, age usually reveals the deception(apparent men turn into grannies and apparent women turn into grandpas).
From my experience, the number 1 indicator is the back(since you almost never see the private region in someone else), but many have clear skulls, shoulders, and middle area that are not indicative of what they claim! The true middle area may be revealed in bikini or beach photos. NOTE: Most men will have Adam's apple from puberty, but this can be shaven down greatly and, also, they medically inhibit puberty. My AA, however, is not visible nor can I feel it in my neck and I am a guy! There have to be some guys like me. But, my shoulders are very wide(probably about as big as anyone outside of a giant) and I have mule jaw! And, men can have fake hips/butts/bellies added on to mimick womanhood. And, don't be fooled by the added muscles of those born as women. There are PEDs to produce this result. Other ways they trick us is by photoshopping images, corset training*, and the changing of someone's image in a magazine. No photo/video should exist that is atypical of who they claim; it should not exist!
*This can temporarily create female curves.
The Prince of Egypt is truly one of Dreamworks' masterpieces. Over 350 artists worked on it, and when it came out it was the most expensive film in all history of cinema. Inside Dreamworks they had taken the making of The Prince of Egypt so seriously that no mistakes were accepted, anyone who was no longer competent to work on this film was moved to work on Dreamworks' B-series project as punishment. It's funny that that "inferior" project was Shrek.
In any case, in every frame of this film you can see the commitment and dedication to this work, and it is beautiful.
It honestly is ahead of its time… The use of CGI to complement the hand-drawn animation is seamless. It looks good and convincing even by today’s standards
I mean, Shrek is an inferior project no matter how you look at it, no matter how much you may enjoy it… It’s a shame that it ended up overshadowing its predecessor so thoroughly in the public eye
@@jordinagel1184
Disagree there. Shrek and Shrek 2 were very entertaining movies for me
This is as well, just for very different reasons 🙂
@@coyotelong4349 I meant specifically the first Shrek (again, taking personal enjoyment out of the picture, PoE is just a better-made product in every way)
@@jordinagel1184
Eh, agree to disagree! I love both films and think both were well-made, just in different ways for different reasons
Shrek is an out-and-out family comedy, and doesn’t try to be anything else, while PoE is a more serious animated musical/drama
I am not even remotely a follower of an Abrahamic religion, but "The Prince of Egypt" is hands down, objectively just a fantastic masterpiece.
It's not Abrahamic religion, it Christianity religion
@@kawaiipie5475nope the Muslims and the Jews believe in this story as well
@@kawaiipie5475 Even if we ignore the fact that jews and muslims also believe in this story, Christianity is still an Abrahamic religion.
Zipporah is definitely badass. Honestly, any time a woman gets a name and even *slight* plot relevance in the Bible, chances are she's either a badass or a villain. You do *not* mess with these ladies.
You just got EVERYTHING RIGHT!
Haha remember that one woman who stabbed a dude through the skull with a tent stake in his sleep
@SirPogsalot Yael. I'm proud to bear the name. 😊
@@SirPogsalotCreates Or the one who walked into the enemy camp, cut off the head of the commander, and then walked back out *with his head?*

you know a movie's done something right when it's literally a Bible story and non-Christians still love it
It’s a Jewish story really.
Not a Christian story at all.
Lol it’s literally both what are we saying 😂
@@glossygloss472 Bro christians have both parts of the bible as reference, it is a christian story too
@@jaredf6205Yes we know. But aren't d firat christians Jewish people. Its how we christians see bible stories.... We know its a jewish story but bcuz d first christians were jews we call it both a jewish and christian story... When people hear christian, the first thing that getsvto their head are white western Europeans. When we christians say christian we mean the first christians who r jewish. Christianity in its sense is not a religion. Its just another belief set up by some jews. More like another jewsish sect. That's was separated by war and all that. No offense
I HIGHLY recommend checking out Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Dinosaur
I love Dinosaur! Crazy underrated movie
These are amazing movies to list. I think treasure planet also deserves to be up there
@@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT That is a good one! I would love to see Logan Lerman or Dylan O’Brien play Jim in a live-action remake. Also, I forgot to put Chicken Run among my recommendations.
YES!! All of those movies I watch even as a full grown adult.
And Joseph king of dreams
Moses didn't do any of it. He didn't bring the punishments. God gave Ramses the opportunity to let them go. He could have at any point in the plagues. Ramses chose the punishment that God smote them with. He named it.
Not true. The book of Exodus said 3 times that God hardened the heart of Pharaoh.
@Cannibal Teddy God always gives us free will, but He also knows how much a human heart can be hardened if they don't listen to Him. It was always Pharaohs' choice to let the Hebrews go or not, and since he chose not to he suffered the consequences of his decisions.
Lucinda is correct.
@@jamesfowler5100 no the scriptures say that Pharaoh's heart was already hardened. He would not relent so the LORD hardened, in that context meaning strengthened, Pharoah's resolve. I believe it wasn't until the 3rd or 4th plague that the LORD hardened his heart. God gave him up to his own stubbornness just as later on He would do to His own people because they refused to obey His ways and chose their own way even though He is the one who delivered them from the hands of pharaoh.
@@robbinsnest6163 read Romans 9:18.
wow I was not expecting this reaction! Everything about this movie was so good. A masterpiece. AND THE MUSIC. 10/10. There's another movie that's also animated by DreamWorks and is based on the Bible. It's called Joseph: King of Dreams. I definitely recommend y'all watch that too! It came out 2 years after The Prince of Egypt
And, it’s prequel.
I definitely agree
Surprisingly I think Joseph: King of Dreams was straight-to-video
Same for sure
Oh man, I think you guys would love another DreamWorks animation! The Road to El Dorado somehow passed as a kid movie hahaha
Yeah, seeing that one as an adult, I'm surprised my parents let me watch that one. Of course, I've let my kids watch it too. 😆
The Prince of Egypt is a classic. Such a quality film.
The voice actor for Rameses is actually Ralph Fiennes, and he plays a perfect antagonist with that voice.
He also plays the main antagonist in Schindler's List, as a Nazi General of some sort and he does an incredible job.
He also plays Voldemort throughout the Harry Potter series.
So he's got a well versed 'bad guy' voice, lol.
I adore Ralph. His voice was perfect
Also voices Jesus of Nazareth in the claymation the Miracle Worker
Sir. Patrick Stewart was the voice of Seti the First (Rameses Father).
This movie is fantastic, even for those of us who aren’t religious
I love the touch of the Egyptians largely being voiced by actors with British accents (except for Steve Martin & Martin Short), while the Hebrews are voiced with North American accents
Me too.
Is that a "touch" or is that just cuz Americans feel royalty = British and because it's an American movie it needs you to identify with the Hebrews so it gives them American accents.
@@ThisBlackFreeSpeeDeemedHarmful yea this is what movies always do
I love how unlike "The 10 Commandments", this movie is more based on brotherhood.
@@ThisBlackFreeSpeeDeemedHarmful
Haha I’m sure that’s part of it… A subliminal element
Cast in this show was astounding too. Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart, Jeff Goldblum, Steve Martin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren.
Fun fact, there were 2 10 Commandments. The ending scene cut to black with the Ten Commandments right before Moses slammed them into the ground in rage upon seeing what his people are doing when he came down from the mountain lol.
Yup worshipping a false God they made out of the gold
"See like, it's a very pretty song but didn't kids just get smited?" That delivery kills me
I remember seeing this in the theater with my cousins and standing up close to the screen during the sea parting scene and it was literally breathtaking
That’s awesome 👏🏻
@@nathancruz9172 it is! Wish I saw it in theaters, but I was born in 2000. I did however watch it for the first time last year with my grandma through an Amazon Prime rental, and we loved it! I actually bought it on DVD last month at a mall while Christmas shopping with a friend; I plan to watch it again around Holy Week. If this ends up getting a Fathom event for the 25th anniversary next year, I’m definitely going to buy a ticket!
I think this movie did a perfect set up. You could see the bond between them, and you can see that their father and mother loved them very much, but that couple seconds of his father saying "One weak link can break a chain of a great dynasty" cemented Ramses fear of being weak. And when Moses came back it wasn't for him but for the slaves. I heard Ramses's story was originally more tragic and they had to turn it down. I also heard some Christians hated them showing the good relationship between the two and rather Ramses be pictured as evil and Moses steadfast. As a Catholic myself, I believe that they would have had affection for one another. Growing up as siblings, how could you not? And watching the people you grow up with suffer would be a heavy mental toll as long as you aren't a psychopath.
I agree with you 100%!!
My brother and I watched this movie for years and even acted it out growing up (I played Rameses)
But now when I watch it, each time Moses says “goodbye brother” for the last time, I break down crying.
The reason this movie resonates so much is BECAUSE it's a human story more than a bible story by portraying the characters complexly. Rameses wasn't some caricature "evil bad guy," he was a man, flaws and all. It felt REAL, because THEY felt real.
I can't believe people were trying to simply portray Rameses as "simply the bad guy" is what I'm getting at
It took practically two YEARS to fully animate the the parting of the red sea bit. That's where the animators fully deserve that respect.
Seriously I would kill to see this same team do a Noah's Ark movie or the story of David
You're not alone on this, bud!
Yes you are religious, in true Christian culture kill to get what you want. Good for you
To be fair, in the actual story, Moses didn’t have a choice. After he killed the Egyptian, the Pharaoh wanted Moses killed and he had to flee because a Hebrew had killed an Egyptian.
All of this never happened
@@grifcheese1076 Egyptians wrote about having plagues in history. There was also a drawing someone did of an Egyptian cow all the way in the desert the Hebrews were in.
Just for context at the end there:
Moses having the 10 Comm, means he's either about to see everyone worshiping a golden calf, or he's already broken the first set and had to get a second copy.
Yeah, not a high point in his leading career...
But he went off the mountain with hope so I guess it counts as a good ending
I believe it's the second time since Moses is alone (Joshua isn't with him) and he only has two stone tablets. (And, you could argue his face is glowing during this scene, which supports the second time as well.)
It makes the swelling of the reprise of Deliver Us at that part even more moving. It's like, "Yes, we have erred in terrible folly. We are lost. Deliver us."
Truth!
As someone who watches this movie from from a secular mindset, the animation and soundtrack are amazing. I still have the cd somewhere in an old binder. The opening song still gives me full body goosebumps and makes me teary eyed, it's so beautifully done. Rip Ofra Haza, what an incredible voice she had.
Being an ardent Catholic Christian myself, I watched this movie with my family the day before yesterday. My sister didn't want it at first, as she thought it would be a cheap, boring Biblical movie. By the end of the opening she was already crying her heart out at this masterpiece, along with all of us.
I'm an atheist and I freaking love this movie. It has so much, even if you don't like the religious parts, it a beautiful story, the animation is fantastic, and I love the dynamic between the brothers. I thought that was a smart move on the filmmakers part, emphasizing how close they were. It's very much a tragedy. And like, one part people overlook is the fact that Rameses' son is basically Moses' nephew. It wasn't just faceless children that were killed but a child that in a different life that he would have been close with. It's very much heartbreaking.
Another great moment is when Aaron is the first to go into the Red Sea after doubting Moses for the whole film. He finally accepts Moses and trusts him wholeheartedly. Gah this movie is amazing.
So u believe when it's convenient?
@@Joe-96X4E I can appreciate a good story without believing in some sky daddy demanding I do specific things in order to get into some magical afterlife
@@SneakyCustard I totally watch this from a secular point of view, as I'm not religious at all. I adore the animation, the story, and I even bought the soundtrack when it was released because the music is incredible.
@@Joe-96X4E
Some of us believe whatever we want to believe, not just what another human being tells us we should believe
agreed. i think i first watched this when i did believe. but still enjoy it now that i dont.t
In this movie the order of the plagues are:
River of Blood
Frogs
Lice
Flies
Dead Livestock
Rocks/Hail of fire falling from the sky
Locusts
Boils
Plague of Darkness
Death of the Firstborn
The epic animated version of The Ten Commandments.
Also RIP rock Star Meat Loaf and funny man Louie Anderson. Both left us at a young age.
20:12 If you want to hear “menacing,” look up the cover of “Playing with the Big Boys” by Caleb Hyles and Jonathan Young. They managed to make this song *terrifying*.
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/x8sWEbKfBiY/видео.html
A bit more metal than I'd prefer, but I have to admit it's got some good energy and actually surprisingly faithful to the original. Worth a listen, for sure.
They do an awesome cover of the Plague Song as well.
I watched this movie as a kid but didn’t watch it for years until when I was a junior in college. I was a music major and the soundtrack floored me. It’s so good
10:26 ....
-Moses: "There's a man tied up in my room"
-Guard: .... That's quite kinky of you, sire....
This movie came out right as computer-assisted animation was becoming the norm. It was widely considered to be the last truly great traditionally animated feature. Now a hair over a decade later, Disney would produce The Princess and the Frog via traditional animation, but I don't know if people have reconsidered that 'last great' title in light of that. Personally, as much as I love The Princess and the Frog, it lacks the epic scale of The Prince of Egypt. P&F is great, but PoE is GREATER.
4:24 - "Why are they just killing kids randomly?" Jeez, you DON'T know much from religion, do you? The story of Moses begins with the Hebrew people enslaved by the Egyptians. The Pharaoh felt the slaves were growing too numerous and so declared a purge of newborn males. Then this happened.
7:53 - And now you know what Rameses has driving everything he does in this story. Let me say now that the reason I prefer this version to all the classic cinematic religious epics is that the other versions all focus on the bombast and the spectacle of Moses being the conduit of the power of God, but this version focuses on the humanity of the people God uses as his tools: an important point that most people forget about when they think about Moses and Abraham and Jesus Christ (he may have been the son AND incarnation of God, but he was also human).
12:13 - When you stop and think about this for just a second you realize that Moses probably passed this mural every day of his life and never gave it a second glance. It's only now that he sees it and takes in the full horror of what it depicts.
16:23 - Jethro's speaking voice is Danny Glover (Probably best known for the Lethal Weapon movies). His singing voice is Brian Stokes Mitchell.
17:08 - The movie's been nice so far, but now it's time to get Biblical. LITERALLY!
19:54 - One of the things I love about this scene in particular is the way Hotep and Hoy's performance is so flashy and over-the-top, nobody notices that Moses's staff has EATEN both of the other snakes (a part of the original biblical story meant to demonstrate the dominance of God over the power of the gods of Egypt). I would have loved it if the scene had ended with Moses and Rameses walking off and in the background you hear Hoy say 'Has anyone seen my staff?'
20:03 - That's ACTUALLY how that expression is supposed to sound. It's an admonishment to tell someone that they've been acting strictly amateurish but now they're up against professionals.
21:34 - A little detail here that's easy to miss: the water immediately surrounding Moses doesn't turn into blood. It stays pure water as long as Moses is standing in the river.
21:54 - Time for the most epic number in the movie.
Killing children has nothing to do with religion. Just look at Planned Parenthood.
@@jamesfowler5100 So true
I love this comment so much. I love this movie a lot so I knew all of this. But I', so glad that you love the movie enough to patiently and meticulously put these facts down as beautifully as you have :D
@@lila44411 Thank you. I do it with a lot of reaction videos I watch. I like to provide additional context and information to others in the hopes that it increases their understanding and enjoyment.
They already said that they're not religious. Hence, I don't know why you're surprised that they "don't know much" about it.
Val Kilmer had a golden voice that deserves an Oscar on its own! I loved his Moses so much as much as I loved every character he played 😍❤️
Seeing two real-life brothers react to this movie is an interesting perspective. I like how you guys even kind of argued different sides of the Moses and Ramses conflict at the end.
I always find it interesting that it took the Egyptian priests and entire musical number to do what Moses did effortlessly in like, one second lol
Exactly. The priests' "magic" was just smoke and mirrors hidden in big production numbers.
Well, Moses isn't really the one who did it in a second.
God did it, not Moses. He just used Moses as a messenger.
But also, did you notice that the one snake from Moses’ staff ATE the ones from the priests? You can see it in the shadows. And that part is in the Bible as well. 🤗
@@nowthatisawesome5431 yep and they missed that.. I was hoping they'd catch it
This is the story of Passover with beautiful animation and even better music. Look up the voices... you'll be shocked!! Love that you guys reacted to this ❤️
Seen this amazing film many times since I was a kid. Only now have I realized how great of a voice cast the film had. Val Kilmer as Moses. Ralph Fiennes as Rameses. Michelle Pfeiffer as Tzipporah. Sandra Bullock as Miriam. Jeff Goldblum as Aaron. Patrick Stewart as Pharaoh Seti. Danny Glover as Jethro. They even had Steve Martin and Martin Short playing the two Egyptian high priests. Perfect voice cast if you ask me.
An absolute masterpiece... The soundtrack, animation, cast... Always brings a tear to my eyes. Incredible choice.
As a person who saw this at a very young age, I can definitely say that it impacted how seriously I treat empathy and trying to see things from the perspective of others. For me Ramisis was a castionary tale of how much stubbornness and hubris can cost you.
Then you learned the Lesson God wanted to Teach Rameses.
The entire Purpose of God choosing Moses as a Messenger was because Rameses was too prideful and Stubborn to listen to God.
Every time Moses told Pharaoh to let his people go, Rameses would stubbornly claim Egypt’s gods were mightier, and so each and every plague was a direct refutation of the Egyptian gods, to show they were merely powerless idols.
Finally, the Last Wonder, the Angel of Death; was brought upon Rameses by his own mouth. He proclaimed that he is pharaoh, and only he can control the life and death of the Hebrews, and to prove it, he would kill every firstborn Hebrew..
For his Cruelty and pride, God demonstrated that only God gives life, and Only God has the Right to take that life Back.
Right up until the very end, God Gave Rameses a chance to make the Right Choice…
Even at the Pillar of Fire, and the Parting of the Red Sea, when the Hebrews were nearly across the Sea, God Dropped the Pillar, but left the Sea open…
‘Behold my Wonders, is this not enough? Take what’s left of your people and return to the Egypt your Own Choices have Ruined.”
But Rameses… He just Couldn’t *Let It Go…*
Honestly, I'm Christian and a lot of Christian know kids learn the story of Moses in a young age and but when I saw this movie it still blew my mind!!! i was in awe.
Watch Joseph king of dreams, it’s the next part
Honestly this is my favorite animated movie. So underrated. It gives me chills always!
Me too.
Can’t believe you guys keep watching banger after banger, whenever you guys pop up in my sub feed I have to straight up stop what I’m doing and watch
"Through Heaven's Eyes" and "Playing with the Big Boys" are my favorite songs in this film. The whole soundtrack is fire, but those two tracks get me going. The voice cast in this is pretty great too. Didn't hear any comments on it in the YT edit but I hope y'all recognized some of the legends voicing this flick. Also, RIP Ofra Haza. An Israeli singer whose vocals you commented on a few times during the reaction. Incredible singer.
And "When You Believe" won the Oscar in 1999 =)
Ofra Haza was the best.
@@aligaines8476 I've always loved her and Natascha Atlas. Both amazing vocalists.
So many of these give me absolute chills. Heavens Eyes makes me cry. Every time.
Yeah for me it’s “Through Heaven’s Eyes” and “When You Believe” that are most stirring
Another religious film I really enjoy is One Night with the King. Its the story Esther, obviously dramatized, but still retold my favorite Bible story very well. It has a romantic focus, but includes other elements, the benefits of war versus peace, valuing family or country more, to cling to faith or to safety, betrayal, sacrifice, genocide (twice), and justice. It flew under the radar, but its probably my favorite movie, and Luke Evans is fantastic in it.
Favourite animated movie that isn’t Disney 🥰
Aladdin for Mushrikeen. 🤪
My dad still thinks it’s Disney. But, that’s made from Dreamworks.

I'm not Christian (or religious at all, actually), but this is just hands-down a fantastic movie. It's the perfect combination of great storytelling, excellent animation, and fantastic music.
it's a Jewish film not a christian film
@@Harrypotterfan334
Christianity spun off from Judaism. This particular story is relevant to both religions
@@coyotelong4349 no. not even close. Christianity came from the romans view and manipulation of history to make "jesus" aka polytheism. which was roman culture. this is a JEWISH Story. It wasn't Christian infant boys thrown in the nile to die it was JEWISH. Moses was not Christian. he was JEWISH!
Hans Zimmer did a good job with the score
I highly recommend The Iron Giant (1999) for your future reactions.
I know of the Iron Giant, but I genuinely can't remember if I've seen it; solid recommendation I'll look into
"Yeah we built that.... well slaves did, but." 😭🤣
The slaves were the tools not the designers. 😉
@@whatareyoulookingat908 what difference does it make💀it was the slaves hardwork that built it.
This movie is a masterpiece!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 The animation, the music, the cast, everything about it was great. Grew up watching this movie and even now I’m still in awe.
Fun fact: it took 10 animators 2 YEARS to do the whole parting of the Red Sea
I used to be Catholic. No longer. I’m actually pagan now lol but I’ve always loved this film bc regardless of beliefs, this film hits home for everyone 🤧❤️🔥
Forgive me don't be offended but is pagan a type of evil?
Which pantheon you follow?
Great version of the Exudous/10 Commandments
"Be Still! Picard Speaks!"
Seti was voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart!
One of the best musicals, animated movies, and overall films I’ve ever seen. Truly incredible!
One interesting aspect of music is that music memory stored in a different part of the brain from everything else. So you can have someone with such advanced Alzheimer's that they can't even remember their own names but you play a song from their childhood and they can sing it word perfect.
Each plague God brought upon Egypt was a direct attack on the Egyptian gods. Pharaoh himself was seen as a god and so all their gods (both handmade (statues and images) and physical (Pharoah himself) were unable to protect or do anything for the Egyptian people, vs. The God of the Hebrews who annihilated everything their gods stood for.
Also in the Bible Moses didnt have a chance to speak about the killing of the Egyptian whipping the slave. It says that he was chased out of Egypt because they wanted to kill Moses for his murder. But the movie puts a spin on it for effect while still keeping true to the essence of the Exodus story
One of my Favorite movies as a kid. So immersive and well done. An undeniably respectable piece.
I love this movie, it's visually stunning and the music is amazing. I remember showing this to my parents and they were blown away because they never watched it and never really thought to see it. Great reaction!!
If anybody didn't catch the part where Moses went into the other room to cry after ramazzy's son died that was his nephew can't imagine that pain
Of course.
Aww my daughter grew up watching this glad to see new people finding it! It was truly a masterpiece of its time in representation, animation, & music! A forever classic 🥰
The amount of voice talent in this movie is insane:
Val Kilmer
Ralph Fiennes
Helen Mirren
Patrick Stewart
Jeff Goldblum
Danny Glover
Sandra Bullock
Michelle Pfeiffer
Steve Martin
Martin Short
Usually a hand-animated film takes 2 years to animate. The parting of the red sea ALONE took 2 years to animate. Dreamworks did not cut a single corner for this film.
This is one of my all-time favorites, and you can tell how much love went into it.
One of the character choices I thought was interesting is that you can see the disregard Rameses has for people. You see it when he talks about the destroyed temple, the way he treats Zipporah, etc.
I always felt that Seti, at least in this movie, truly felt the weight of the murder of the Hebrew children. It felt like when he was talking about "for the greater good", and that "they were only slaves" were justifications he was using to convince himself otherwise. He still did something incredibly terrible. Yet when Rameses is confronted with the same truth, he scoffs dismissively. He cared more about his own pride than the people he was supposed to protect.
On another note, while you didn't show it, my absolute favorite moments are in "When You Believe", when the little girl helps an elder woman walk to freedom, and then later when the sea is parted and the same elder comforts the little girl. This movie loves its parallels.
Me too.
The animators spent 2 full years animating the splitting of the sea and it still stand up for today standards especially for the fact it's a 1990s movie
I've had to resubscribe to you twice recently. Eff youtube.
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. One of my favorite animated movies.
great detail: when moses goes to talk to rameses after the whoe sphinx intro incident, he's whistling the lullaby, proving that he's always had the tune, at least, in his head
Danny glover is the voice of Jethro
Great movie choice. Please watch Ben Hur & The Ten Commandments with Charleton Heston. You hopefully won't be disappointed.
Imo the passover scen isthe BEST scene in animation history! I love that they choose to not add music and just have the wind as it passes through and the last breaths of the dying it makes it so much more ominous.
24:38 “ i like how instantly the kids stop breathing” now wait just a second bro
One of the best movies out there! Moses went through something!!! But it was all worth it
This is one of my favorite movies ever and your reactions are priceless! “That was not it” “Fed the kids to crocs” 😂😂😂 like I’m 10 minutes in and I can’t stop laughing! Immediately subscribed!
Awwwww. You guys. This is one of the best movies ever made. Glad you’re checking it out.
I like how you guys did the editing of the movie footage/audio filtering in order to keep more of the reactions. Some youtubers will say nothing or people will complain about talking over the movie when really they should be looking up reviews rather than reactions. This was fun to watch.
This is my favorite movie soundtrack ever
Yeah the score was done by Hans Zimmer, the same brilliant man who scored The Lion King, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Dune. ❤️❤️❤️ And the song “When You Believe” won an Oscar too!
"He's turning it into wine"
He's a little confused but his hearts in the right place
This movie is a work of art. Great music, great story, solid retelling, BEAUTIFUL art style. A MUST-watch for anyone who wants to do animation or be an artist.❤️
I have always loved the soundtrack.
I watched both "The Prince of Egypt" and "Joseph King Of Dreams" as many times on vhs. Another favorite is "The road to El Dorado"
This is such a great movie, Mariah Carry and Whitney Houston sang the main song on the soundtrack. Would love to see you guys react to the live action Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and Yule Brenner. Either way, love your reaction and look forward to more videos.
I was going to comment this exact two things. THe main song is as epic as to have Mariah and Whitney, like COME ON. and the Ten Commandments is one of my favorites movies from all times... even today, it looks pretty good. It would be awesome if they do a reaction to it... even when it`s a little long...it`s a great movie. I love this story so much.
There is a musical version of this amazing film! You can purchase the soundtrack listen to it on RUclips and there’s actually a second video that was made by fans as a reminder to have hope during the time of Covid. I was proud to be one of the selected people in the video. If you want to react to another film there is a prequel that was me which follows the story of Joseph called Joseph king of dreams. There is an a music video by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for the prince of Egypt
It's somewhat important to recognize that even if Moses had stayed and talked to Rameses, convincing him to release the slaves was more than a matter of compassion and understanding. To free the enslaved workforce would mean the Egyptians would have no crops down and harvested, no temples built, and no economy whatsoever. In effect Moses would have been asking Ramases to do exactly what his father was afraid he would do- destroy the Egyptian empire.
This is Dreamwork’s masterpiece. How they lost the Oscar for original score is beyond me. But they did when the Oscar for best original song.
Fingers crossed Hans Zimmer gets his second Oscar for Dune! 🤞🤞
I'm a Baptist born and raised and I grew up with this film. When I think of the Exodus Story, this is the film that comes to mind. The animation, the music, the cinematography - it's a masterpiece. This is a film that knows less can be more, that if you show the audience rather than add unless dialogue, they'll appreciate it more.
•Population Control- Pharaoh became concern that the Hebrew had become so numerous, that they could potentially rebel. So he ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed.
•Midian girl. Midian is a geographic region referenced in the Bible, located in the northwestern Arabian peninsula, what is today Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
•Biblically, Moses knew he was adopted, as his birth mother was brought to the palace as his nurse.
•Well, the babies would have probably drowned first before the crocodiles came, but yes, death by being thrown into the Nile.
•Jethro's singing is voiced by baritone Brian Stokes Mitchell.
•Moses - born a Hebrew slave, raised as an Egyptian prince, ran away to Midian and became a shepherd, and ultimately called to be the first great prophet of God, the deliverer and lawgiver of the Jewish people.
•When watching the Egyptian high priests, one does not see men of any god, but something more akin to Vegas stage magicians putting on a show.
•Christ turned water into wine; the first plague was turning the Nile into blood.
•Plague 2-frongs, Plague 3-lice, Plague 4-flies, Plague 5-death of livestock, Plague 6-boils, Plague 7-flaming hale, Plague 8-locusts, Plague 9-darkness, Plague 10-Passover and the deaths of the firstborn.
•In Hebrew tradition, breath is the spirit of life, therefore taking the breath is taking the life.
not flies. Locusts Locus damaghe crops and cause famine
@@Harrypotterfan334 There was a plague of flies and a plague of locusts. Both were present, but the flies came before the locusts.
@@joshuawells835 ah you are correct
The scene of the parting of the Red Sea took the longest part of the animation process. They spared NO expense on making that scene awe-inspiring and truly God-like.
I cracked up when you said "oh no the power of music" XD
This movie holds zero punches when it comes to tackling depictions of Slavery, Self Discovery, Forgiveness, and Unity, plus the soundtrack also featured:
Amy Grant * K-Ci & JoJo * Boyz 2 Men * including Whitney Houston and Mariah Carrey.🎶
16:25
Also Danny Glover is amazing as Jethro.👍
You slightly misinterpreted what God was saying to Moses, it wasn't "shut up and just do it" it's much deeper, it's God telling Moses, "Don't tell me what you can and cannot do, I created you, I know exactly what you are capable of," it's one of the most inspirational quotes from the Old Testament. God believes in you, so believe in yourself as well.
Though granted in the Bible Aaron was sent *with* Moses to confront Pharaoh.
One of my favorites! I was impressed with how much of the story you guys remembered despite not being religious at all. The music in this movie is BEAUTIFUL! I think " F***ing epic as hell" is my new favorite review of this film! 😂 Will have to go back now and watch some of your older reactions. If you've never seen them, my favorite things to watch people react to are Hamilton and Bo Burnham's Inside, both of which get a ton of views on RUclips, but are admittedly tricky as far as copyright goes. Glad you enjoyed this one!
In this particular scene of the dying of the firstborn it shows Moses going off crying what people forget is that the little boy that died was his nephew devastating on its own
Finally you guys are checking out traditionally animated movies!
🤩
Check out Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective! Criminally underrated!
Man this movie is a masterpiece, and the soundtrack is fire 🔥
In Spanish, bassinets for babies are called Moises or Canasta (de) Moises. Moises is Moses in spanish and canasta is basket.
Thank you for taking a look at this one. I first watched it back in 1999 and it quickly became one of my favorites :) Brings back alot of memories for sure. Ohh and if you were remembering the singer or two, That was Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Hotep and Hoy were Steve Martin and Martin Short both voicing and singing. One of the best casts in a film Ive seen. Also won an Oscar for it's music :) Anyways, loved this reaction. You guys are great :D ( psst: This is GamerGal :P )
My childhood favorite and one of my favorite stories in the bible ❤
20:33 Me too.
I love this movie so much! I've been watching it since the 90s and I still find new things to appreciate
Fun fact: they were working on this at the same time as Shrek. If you were to mess up, you would be banished to work on that. They called it “getting Shreked” lmao.
This reminds me of the Pocahontas-and-Lion King situation😅. They couldn't see or appreciate The Lion King's potential during production, whereas Pocahontas was expected to be their next masterpiece; (as in, Little- Mermaid, Beauty-and-the-Beast levels of success. That's the pressure Pocahontas was under.)
Guess which movie was better received...
Jethro's singing voice is provided by legendary Briadway and TV performer Brian Stokes Mitchell (who really is a class act. He answered an email I sent him after he opened in RAGTIME on Broafway)
COOL
