I love the Prince of Egypt and Joseph king of dreams. I wish DreamWorks made more bible musical handrawn animated films beginning with Esther the girl who became queen.
@@jswatch9270 the dramatic music, the time when Moses' mother had to hide him and float him into the river, when God divided the Red Sea, during the plagues, people dying, etc...I was born emotional man haha
That scene always gave me chills. It’s genuinely horrifying. You feel the emotions that Moses feels during this scene and it’s spot on with the animation.
@@huntclanhunt9697 you realize that people still worship Greek gods right? it might be different than how christians worship but it's no less valid as a religion
Especially that one moment in the beginning where a Hebrew slave tries to help a collapsed elder back up, only for a guard to nonchalantly shove them both back in line. Even if there were some good people in that society, Egypt’s hierarchy was so corrupt that any act of virtue was quickly crushed with more violence.
I think they weren't slaves. In context of the egyptian's builds it's a stereotype. Mostly it was just villagers who went to build from their free will ( but then there was no food bc no one grew any). I'm not sure how Judes were treated there, but I guess they were just massive attacked with racizm... Like almost every minority at that time. There were slaves for sure, but not many in Egypt. Mostly it was foreigners from enemy's camp at war.
“Send a shepard to shepard us” -Deliver Us “I send the locusts on the wind such as the world has never seen” -The Plagues “In the desert sand, a lake of gold is greater than a cool fresh spring” -Heaven’s Eyes Just INSANE lyrical depth on every number
Underated opinion but the 10 plagues scene was my favorite because it just really captures the internal struggle between both brothers and also really captures so much emotion between them
Sad to think treasure planet was gonna have a second but it's basically a "Zuko" to the "Ozai" that is disney. Not to mention i don't think it made any profit to inspire potential remaking for the company..
Moses carrying the Ten Commandments in the movie: My people are free. This is the start of a new life for everyone. Moses carrying the Ten Commandments in the Bible: Wtf are they singing to a golden cow
Yea. now that I grew a little bit and heard about the rest of exodus, I always wonder how that scene is meant to be interpreted. Or how Leviticus, numbers, and Deuteronomy would fit into this animation by dreamworks.
@@garybrown2039 As someone who's converting to Judaism, I asked what others of different denominations (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Haredi) thought of it as well as other extreme acts of Moses like the killing of the Midianites. The interpretation I saw was as simple as prophets being as human as the rest of us and thus as subject to being extreme, harsh, and being wrong, even when God trusted them. Doesn't make for a great animated story, but that's how I see it.
i believe that the scene in the movie is based off the second time Moses came down with the commandments, after the first time of smashing them and the golden calf event.
As a Christian, I was scared to recommend this to my atheist friends because I thought they would groan at the religious setting, so I was very surprised when they came to ME with it to gush about how great it was. I'm really happy everyone enjoys it😊
I’ve been an atheist for as long as I can remember, and I first watched this movie a few years ago because I heard of how good it is, and I think this film is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. I love how mature and down-to-earth this movie is and how it portrays the events of this story. Also the music and animation are both REALLY good. I think what sets this film apart from other religious media is that it’s main focus is telling a story and telling it well, not to convert viewers to a certain religion or belief system. I think this movie is great for everyone, I don’t think you have to be a certain religion to like it.
A good film is a good film. This movie and Joseph King of Dreams have perfect story telling which is all you need. I've always thought The Passion of the Christ was a brilliant film, regardless of whatever theology you may have. The shots and wordless story telling are spectacular. Much better than those standard God's Not Dead movies
I’m an atheist, but I’m also having some second handed embarrassment that this adaptation chose to skip over completely (and judging by how excited the crowd was when Moses climbed off of Mount Sinai, they most probably never did the thing) the whole Golden Calf fiasco.
It’s so funny because I wasn’t raised religious but this movie will always been special to me!! I feel like they do an amazing job talking about the religiousness of the actually story from the Bible without being to preachy!!
As a former Christian turned agnostic (who feels entirely put off by the pushiness of religion in media) this is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, both musically and visually. I find a lot of my atheist friends feel the same way.
KING CRIMSON, you will never reach the truth that is going to happen. Are your actions merely of superficially evil or good. Either way you’ll never reach the Ruth that is going to happen. That Is the will and power of Gold Experience Requiem...
Hans Zimmer did the composition for the music, so it's not surprising how striking it is. I will always remember Ofra Haza's voice in Deliver Us, and how she sang that part in every translation of this movie, singing in various languages.
Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
Netflix: all the sudden wondered why a thousand people started watching Prince of Egypt on the same day Edit: As of Jan 2021 in the US, Joseph King of Dreams is on Netflix (Prince of Egypt was taken off), Prince of Egypt is on RUclips and Amazon Prime to rent or buy, and Prince of Egypt is also on Hulu ✌
The moments when Moses scrapes his foot against the jagged rock and when the camel pulls him by his hair from the ground leave me in eternal psychosomatic pain to this day.
I haven’t watched this movie in 15 years, and I know exactly what scenes you’re talking about and the feeling you’re describing. Crazy to think what an effect it had on me, I should really rewatch this movie
Never could forget about a movie like this. Also: who else misses the time when animation used to look like this? I love the simple style wayyyy more than the animation style nowadays
i’d honestly much rather watch a movie with this animation style than like frozen 2 even tho it’s definitely impressive it’s just not as personal or creative
I showed my young sister Princess Mononoke one time and she told me that she can't watch this because the animation sucks. I think children's eyes today are just more accustomed to 3D animation while for me hand drawn animation cannot be topped by anything ever! I'd take Cowboy Bebop or Ghost In The Shell over the best of the best of Pixar any day of the week.
Jef Costello Aw, man, the entire opening sequence of Princess Mononoke gives me chills just by thinking about it! And then the scene where Ashitska leaves his tribe to go to the land to the West.... the fog on the great mountains... just beautiful.
@@stefannydvorak7919 The Music is icing on the cake. have you seen other Japenese Anime movies? I know Studio Ghibli is very popular but you can find alot of other hidden gems.
I remember as a kid not caring for this movie because it was dark, but as an adult this blew me away. I think the problem about prince of Egypt is it’s always marketed as a kids movie when it really isn’t, it’s an art piece that appeals to a wide audience. I hope people give it another chance with older eyes, they’ll love it!
"...it's marketed as a kids movie but it isn't"...... That is actually a very observant point. Never thought about it that way but you are right. This is more of a movie for everyone older than 9 or 10 years.... Maybe if the child is really mature for his or her age, they could watch it from the age of 6 or 7.
Idk but I loved this as a kid and still do now. I remember being 5 and balling my eyes out in the beginning of “deliver us” and baby Moses parting from his mother. Even now, that song and visuals gives me goosebumps. Such a masterpiece
I still don’t get why some people won’t give this movie a chance, just because it has to do with God. That’s like me refusing to watch Hercules just because the Greek gods are in it.
The reason why is s because most, well all Christian movies end to peach and force the message of "Believe in God and everything will be alright. But if you don`t believe in God, then you`re a bad person." Films like God`s not Dead do stuff like this.
For me what really put me in awe was the last plague. It was quiet, haunting. Normally in movies, deaths are dramatic and visual, but here it was painless and quick and silent
expecially with the ones before being worse and worse in magnitude with louder music, then it stops before the last plauge, and keeps it calm and silent and respectful
8:55 As a 9yr old, this scene took my breath away and made the hair on my skin rise. It put into perspective Gods majestic creations and how small we are as humans. I was amazed yet felt very insignificant but overall wowed by this scene. The music, the dark colors, the size comparisons were amazing and accurate. I could almost feel how cold and dark it was and how scared I would be if the lightning struck and illuminated the water to reveal a massive whale
When the audience goes to see those kinds of movies rather than the master pieces like Prince of Egypt, it only makes sense at a business perspective to keep doing what the audience want to see or pay to see... so you get Boss baby. I think the majority of people seeking for stupid comedy based movies now a days is do to the fact that depression is at an all time high in our generation, that's why comedy is getting shoved in nearly everything, even in scenes that are supposed to be dark and traumatic like wars and battle scenes... *cough* Marvel *cough* Star Wars *cough.* Like comedy is nice once and a while, but I think it's starting to become an escape to millennials and genZ'rs.
@@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0 even those movies have biblical themes though so technically the bible theme is not gone they just reversed the roles, see >>ruclips.net/video/qbCbyf16iYc/видео.html
@@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0 funny thing is, before the simpsons movie, which got replaced by.... idk a couple years ago, the prince of Egypt *was* the best selling #1 animated movie of all time.
I’m Hindu and this is literally the movie that made me decide that I wanted to become an animator. The scene where he parts the sea, left my jaw drop. This is beauty.
There's a "blink and you miss it" moment that to me says it all about Ramses. It's in the first conversation he and Moses have about setting the Hebrews free. He is sitting down with two statues in the background. The statue of himself overshadows the one of his father, but the latter overshadows Ramses himself.
@Michael Krull Yeah I noticed that, even as a kid, but I didn't have the vocabulary or intellect to explain what that was, or what it meant. Heck to be fair I didn't notice the complexity of Rameses character in this film until two years ago. Which is kinda sad given what I've learned about character writing.
Watching for the first time as an adult it’s crazy how relatable Ramses is in his motives and how we spend the rest of our lives aggressively trying to prove ourselves to our parents even when they’re gone and how insecurity and inability to let go create so much suffering for yourself and everyone who depends on you
Studio execs: So what's the title of this movie gonna be? Director: The Prince of Egypt Studio execs: Neat, is it referring to Moses or Rameses? Director: *yes*
This movie has a very special place in my heart. When NATO was bombing Serbia in '99 , I was 6 years old. The Prince of Egypt had just come out in cinema, and I really wanted to watch it so my dad decided to take me to this one and only cinema open in Belgrade during the state of emergency. Halfway there, the emergency sirens went off, but we kept on going. When we arrived, the ticket booth guy was surprised to see us, but let us in anyways. We were the only ones in the theater and I remember loving every second of it. I will NEVER EVER forget that day nor this magical movie.
ARC9652 Productions And both Moses and Jesus are recognized as major prophets. Muslims aren't supposed to visualise the persons of prophets (to prevent cult of personality and idolisation). But being aware of this on principle as a Muslim, I went ahead and viewed it. I've since also introduced it to my son, and we both love the majesty of the production and lessons of the story.
@@ARC9652 in fact, mosses is the most mentioned prophet in the quran. And his story is told with great details, and from beginning til end, and even tells about some stories of those muslim prophets who were sent to the Jewish people. 5:44 translated : We revealed the Torah with guidance and light, and the prophets, who had submitted to God (literal translation of being muslim), judged according to it for the Jews. So did the rabbis and the scholars in accordance with that part of God’s Scripture which they were entrusted to preserve, and to which they were witnesses. So [rabbis and scholars] do not fear people, fear Me; do not barter away My messages for a small price; those who do not judge according to what God has sent down are rejecting [God’s teachings]. It starts before he was born, when the pharaoh was killing the newly born Israelites a year and letting them live whose born in the next year, And Moses peace be upon him was born in the year of killing, And god tells how he inspired his mother to put him in a coffin and put him in water, and the water carried the coffin to the palace of the Pharoah... Then he rejected all breasts of women feeders, so his sister told the guards that she can lead them to someone, only so that god would return Moses peace be upon him to his mother so she would not be in grief. I can go on but his story is pretty long and it continues until they were ordered to get into the holy land, Jerusalem..
Joseph: The King of Dreams was also another really good dreamworks movie made a few years after The Prince of Egypt. It’s not necessarily the same level as the POE but has it’s own style that is similar and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it. Joseph was voiced by Ben Affleck. POE was definitely one of the greatest animated movies of all time and the soundtrack was equally amazing. Animated movies have never been on the same level since.
I think what made that movie 'fail' from a technical standpoint was because the advertisement at the time was as though it was a sequel and not a prequel and at that time there was a lot of bad luck for direct DVD movies so, I think they unknowingly shot themselves in the foot when it came to Joseph. That doesn't mean they didn't try.
@@shaquayquay8406 I never got the chance to see the movie in its entirety but I have seen clips here on YT and it really is a good story. It's one of my favorites other than Moses and Soloman the Wise of the Old Testament from the Bible. Maybe if they brought more attention to Joseph and have not taken short-cuts like other sequels, it would've survived the sequel hate like some of the Disney ones. That's just my opinion.
Whenever i watch prince of egypt, i immediately watch king of dreams right after. It doesn’t have as good of music, but both are such amazing animated films. I want more lol.
@@miriamgreer1532 when I was a child it was my father who introduced it to me and my siblings. I was just a child so I don't really understand but now that I think about my father was very enthusiastic (lowkey raving) about it.
Are you still a child then? If so then learn from an elder of yours, and do not be overly concerned with entertainment, no matter how good, because the stylism of film and the lens thereof can create a disconnect between yourself and the dogma you must learn. Not that old, by the way. Definitely not a child anymore, though.
I think it gets passed over because of the biblical themes..some people just dont want to see or hear it, no matter the platform. It is a awesome movie, Ralph Fiennes as ramses is incredible.
@@Danquebec01 Yep, me too. Yes the story is from a religious text and has religious content, but there is also just a genuinely good story and great characters woven throughout it, which makes it worth watching for anyone
Wouldn't say only that, others factors could apply here too, perhaps it was the release date? OTher films overshadowing it? The dooming process of 2d being replaced by 3d, etc.
What I love most about this film is that Moses and Ramses are brothers. And they stay brothers throughout the entire film. Moses gets Ramses into trouble but they're still joking and being bros. When Moses kills the Egyptian, and finds out he's a Hebrew, Ramses doesn't care and still loves him. When Moses comes back to Egypt from Midian, Ramses is so happy and wants to give him a royal welcome. When the plague song happens, Moses laments that he's destroying what was his home and wishes god had chosen another person. Even despite the plagues Ramses wishes he could have the old Moses back. When Ramses son dies, Moses weeps for him. I always hated how in the 10 Commandments Movie, they were so one dimensional. Brothers/siblings are always portrayed at odds in film, but in this movie especially, it highlights how that despite having opposing views, despite ones actions be they good or evil, you can still love someone.
In reality Moses and Ramses might not have known each other that way. Moses was much younger. Also, he was always seen as a lesser since the Hebrews were descriminated against. Moses always knew his origin and never felt like he was Egyptian.
@@zztopz7090 well, I mean, technically the pharaoh of the exodus wasn't Ramses anyway... And I don't think we know Moses's age relative to the Pharaoh. But yeah, the textural narrative we have available doesn't imply that Moses was ever unaware of who he was.
I swear to god every time Moses scraped his foot and broke sandal.... I would literally close my eyes whenever I knew it was coming cause it hurt to watch lol
U can literally feel what he feels. You see the pain in his eyes when he realises the reason for Moses’ return and as Moses returns the ring as prince regent Ramases’ hurt become anger. His fathers words resonate with him, becoming his greatest fear: being the weakest link.
This movie is one of my all time favorites. The depth that they put into the relationship between Moses and Ramases alone is fantastic. I still can't believe how well the animation conveys their emotions toward each other. The clearly still love each other and see each other as brothers in spite of everything that's happened between them. It's incredibly moving.
@@applecoreeater Joseph King of Dreams did not live up to its potential, but I certainly wouldn't call it trash. For one thing, we got a really good song out of it.
I just panic-checked and you're right. How dare they?? Honestly though, I'm sad. I always watched that when I'm not feeling well, and now I can't. Maybe I should see if there's a DVD of it to find somewhere...
This will always be an unforgettable animated movie for me. Ramses and Moses's relationship breaking apart was just painful to watch. And it's something people experience in real life. We grow apart. Even with our closest loved ones. Anyways, I also love Treasure Planet. Another forgotten masterpiece. :D
I’m an athiest and I still have a lot of respect of the prince of Egypt. It is a fantastic film that will still always have a special place in my heart
Whether or not you believe in the stories, the stories in the Bible and other religious traditions have guided countless people and of course are valuable. Glad to hear people are able to recognize the value in these stories without feeling the need to tie their identity to them.
The stories in the bible, especially the old testament, can be broken up into two parts Validity and meaning Whether you do or do not believe the validity of the stories, you can still appreciate the meaning of them. The bible isn't just a bunch of pointless stories, they're lessons and teachings. Whether the events happened or not
6:44 And that, right there, is the moment that Rameses became the villain of the movie. He was actually a pretty decent guy up to this point, but the weight of his father's crown outweighs his brotherly love for Moses.
That's what I love the most about this movie. Both Ramses and Moses seem very real, very human. Is not like Ramses is a cartoony villain with villain-y desires to do evil and just make the life of the hero a mess, and Moses is a perfect, flawless hero. They are both imperfect, they can both seem selfish at times, they both make mistakes... but Moses learns and accepts his own fault and decides to change and be better, Ramses is so buried under expectations and his own pride, that he refuses to see his mistakes and attempt to be better. He doesn't want to hurt Moses nor does he hate him, he actually loves him, and is confused on why he's not on his side anymore. And Moses doesn't see Ramses as a villain, but as someone he loves that needs to be persuaded of what's best. And you can find both types of people in real life. The thing that is the most human is their relationship, you can see how much they love each other, how deeply it pains them to have opposite convictions and how this makes them be enemies, because they continue to love each other as brothers. God the writing and storytelling in this movie is a fucking master piece.
It really made me think of the passage in the Bible, “and so God hardened Ramses’ heart.” I remember that puzzling me as a kid. “If God wants them to get along, why... have them fight?” 😅 Every time I see it, in that silence of him making the decision, I always hear “And so God hardened Ramses’ heart.”
@@SunflowerSpotlight It isn't a direct hardening. What it means is that through moses Pharoahs heart got harder and harder. Not that God made him more stubborn
@@Piratearicat23 Right. Even at the very end, when Ramses is yelling "MOSES!", it's ambiguous whether it's meant to be, "Curse you, Moses!" or "Moses, I'm sorry, please come back!"
He missed it and I'm so sad he did but look at 5:44. Earlier in the movie there's a scene with Pharaoh Seti talking to Moses and Ramses about legacy and needing to hold up the weight of their ancestors. And in the background there's a statue of Seti dominating the environment. When the scene of 5:44 comes up you see Ramses has built a second statue beneath his father's. HE'S LITERALLY STUCK IN HIS FATHER'S SHADOW!
There are also sooo many small details you catch on when you watch it multiple times, like when Moses and his people leave Egypt, there are two egyptian guards who just drop their spears and go in the same direction. And they are there, at the other side of the sea! I love it cause it means no matter who you were in the past, it can be forgiven if you willing to change. The two egyptian guards decided they just want to leave this system and they did. And Hebrews let them, they were all equals. God, i love this movie
There's so. SOOO much visual storytelling in this movie. Like early in the movie when Pharaoh is talking to Ramses and Moses about legacy you see Seti standing in front of a tower with just his face on it. Later in the movie Moses returns and he's talking to Ramses you see Ramses now has a his own tower right underneath Seti's. He's literally in his father's shadow that he can't escape from. Also when Moses and Ramses are debating with each other just before the 10th plague and Ramses proudly proclaims he will kill the Hebrew children he's standing in the same position and pointing as his father's mural on the wall. Except in place of the babies falling to be eaten by gators is Ramses's own son. And the scene closes with Moses saying "you've brought this on yourself."God why is this movie so good!
I never noticed that! It's really cool that they included that because it does say that more than just the Hebrews left Egypt during the Exodus in the Bible.
This movie still makes me emotional to this day. To say it's a masterpiece is not even giving it enough credit. As someone who wrestles in and out of Christianity often, this film can affect me in profound ways.
As a full on Christian, this movie CONTINUES to move me in profound ways. The scene with the burning bush where God lifts up Moses and holds him, comforting him.....I Still cry and get chills.
God is real and he loves you and wants you to live for him. Seek him and you will find. Also: This movie and Kanye's new album, I feel are being mightily used by God! He is speaking through his word.
I have three Athiest friends, all of whom have watched this film at some point of their lives, and they all love this film. Thats what makes this film great, anyone no matter the religion can feel moved and connected to this film
I laughed so hard when I was reading people’s reactions to it like- “Aw it ends so happy!” And I was like- “Y’all don’t know about the Golden Calf, do you?”
Yeah. Moses goes up on the mountain to talk to God and doesn’t come back for a really long time so they’re all like- “Huh. Guess he’s dead and God’s fake. Let’s make our own God.” And then Moses came back and was like- “WHAT”
Don't forget the stunning vocals by Ofra Haza in the beginning of the film that she sang in 20 different languages. Really makes your shiver. Indeed the "Madonna of the Middle East".
I’ve always been in awe of that kind of vocal. I was classically trained, leaned into opera, loved singing cantobella, went to nationals, etc, but like... how!? That style and her specific effortlessness was always captivating and fascinating to me. It’s such an interesting sound, like the vocal gymnastics of yodeling crossed with a more supported operatic command, with Eastern scales thrown in for good measure. Absolutely amazing.
Absolutely! I was listening to some of her music one day, and came across a song that she sang that sounded so emotional and moving. It turned out to be the Israeli national anthem. I was really surprised, and just kept listening to it through out the day, her voice is so beautiful!
I'm really curious how did this film become christian... The story is from the original Hebrew Jewish bible and I grew up as a Jew in Israel watching it and when bible stories are all around you in a Jewish country this clearly feels like a Jewish film. What am I missing 😅 I see a lot of comments talking about the Christianity of it.
@@yuvalw7543the Christian goyim in the US see the Old Testament stories as being a part of Christianity. That behooves you guys though, I don’t think you guys would get as much money from the US if there wasn’t a large proportion of goyim that identified with your stories. Disclaimer: I support Zion and Jews are # 1
@@yuvalw7543 All the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have the story of Moses. But here in the West, Christianity is by far the most common one of those. Therefore, anything broadly Abrahamic is described as Christian. It helps that view that this is a film that was made in the West (America, specifically, a highly Christian state).
@@yuvalw7543 Okay, while this is most certainly a Jewish story, this story is in the old testament of the Bible. Which is essentially the Torah (if memory serves me, I myself am not Jewish, apologies if I get that wrong) Regardless, its still part of both religious mythos. See, I grew up reading the Bible, and this story is in the Bible. In fact this story is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I remember my mom had me start reading the Bible start to finish when I was a kid. I only got as far as the Book of Matthew before life kinda got in the way, but this was by far one of the more enjoyable stories for me, because of prince of Egypt. With all that, that is why you are seeing a lot about Christianity here. Sorry for getting a lil personal with it.
To let the audience figure out whether their children are intelligent enough to watch it and not some dude like you who either isn't or has children which aren't.
One of my favorites of all time. Period. I think people shy away from this because of the religious aspects, and they are missing out. Great video to honor this great work!
Dude that's the second best song in the movie... Right after the lullaby that haunts Moses throughout his childhood. When his sister sings it to him while crying: that is the best song in the movie.
@@jakirachan yup and Anime movies are just barely scratching the surface this year with $300million plus movies and all Disney/dream work get that so we’ll have to see
You can see the continue in the binle they walked in the dessert for 40 years because they keep complaining and moses dies due to age including Aaron then joshua becomes the leader and destroyed the most powerful walls in any contry by screaming at it.
I couldn't agree more. They should make a sequel where Moses and the Israelites escape Egypt, then God commands them to slay every Canaanite except for their virgins for certain reasons... Then Moses commands his people to do exactly what the Egyptians did to them and kill every Midianite male child in an effort to sever their lineage.
Never forgotten in my household. I was this at least twice a year. It's such a great movie. Such a great soundtrack. Everything flows and fits together so well
I love the Prince of Egypt and Joseph king of dreams. I wish DreamWorks made more bible musical handrawn animated films beginning with Esther the girl who became queen.
That's the best part. You don't need religion to love it. Its message is universal: *Let your own view of reality help you see your life in a better light.* For some, Heaven's Eyes is literal. For others, it's spiritual. For you, it's metaphorical. It can lift anybody up, and it deserves more credit for that.
Its not forgotten...its the most beautiful animation movie to me ever. I saw it first when I was 8 years old, rewatched it with my adult eyes....still slaps the same. The subject, the character design, the colors, the music. Perfection.
I'm Christian, also an Aspiring story Writer. I want to make an ANYTHING like this. A display with religious beliefs integrated without it being condescending or insulting to anyone who isn't also Religious. A piece like the Prince of Egypt where a vast majority of the comments of RUclips videos about it start with "I'm not religious but" or "I'm not Christian but." I want to use my faith to make people happy instead of insulting them, making something anyone can enjoy. I personally cannot wait to do so.
Even as a Christian it's hard to watch Christian movies cuz they make them super cheesy. It can be feel good but true to the seriousness of the story, like this movie or like veggie tales jonah. Jonah does it even make it and that's a kid's movie. But the lesson is made clear. Also no more super smiley, kinda creepy, white, hippie, lookin Jesus.😞 Not just to be accurate but to make sure Christianity aknowledges they way people tried to make our religion pro slavery and pro white supremacy. I'm ranting but I'm really excited to see someone who wants to see the stories of our culture shown w/the purpose of love and respect. Like, something they'd be proud to show angels. 💜
@@Vi-ok8of it's also really important to know the difference in nature between slavery as practiced by Israelites vs. The slavery us Americans know. Slavery in israel is more a keen to indentured servitude. Slaves were treated with respect with MANY laws implicated to ensure no one would remain a slave their entire lives and that a slave could pay off his debt. Many people actually sold themselves into slavery to pay off debts. Was it perfect? No, and God made it known that they allowed slavery in the first place as a means to make a very common practice at the time more ethical. If you're ever interested, look into the jubilee year. Essentially it's a holiday that freed all slaves.
But you need to ask yourself. Do you want to please everyone or do you want to please God? As far as I know, it’s Biblically written that the world denies God and his word. The world hated Jesus. So talking about God or Jesus will always be an insult to many, maybe the mayority. So you gotta ask yourself: Do I want to preach or teach the true uncensored word of God? Even if people don’t like it Or Do I want to make famously good entertaining movies? Both have their benefits, but the first one has eternal benefits and second gains temporal ones. I tell you, if you want to please God, you won’t please the world. the only reason people get offended would be because of their pride. Truth is, God promises to prosper you, so whatever you do, if it’s his will, it will be great
The image of the Angel of Death as an eldtritch wind descending from a gulf in space is still the coolest depiction of God's true power I've ever seen.
For me in particular, I think just the audio from that part of the movie makes it an extremely powerful moment in the movie, from the absolute silence (no backtrack of music) to the light sound of breath as the first born are taken, and at the end, when the hand has taken all the first born, the distant wailing cries of the people. Even just thinking about makes me tear up.
@@AnonEMus-cp2mn I always wonder if angels do exist would they be more incomprehensible i feel if god exist and if angels existed then they would be far beyond what humans could understand as it isn't something within our ideal of reality. In this movie they really push that and I respect their artistic choice for the angel of death.
@@Coco-vv8nf In the Bible Angels are depicted in a number of ways but yes, they are anthropomorphized or take human form to be appreciable, but like you said, humans can't see their true form. God says so of Himself to Moses, and the NT also says "No man has seen God at any time." The movie Interstellar, of all things, got me to appreciate that objects in higher dimensions are imperceptible to human eyes, so from a scientific standpoint, perhaps, there is an explanation for the Invisibility of the Spirit realm
Guys, Zimmer only did the SCORE for the film, the songs were written by Stephen Schwartz, who, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated songwriter in Hollywood
@@deepfryerhouse6885 "The Burning Bush" is one of his best pieces ever. And I saw that man in concert. HA! (The nerd that I am.) He did not need to go that hard but he did and I am forever grateful.
I thought I was insane for listening to deliver us on repeat, crying to the opening and gorgeous animation, the stunning parting of the water, how this movie was my childhood. Everyone thinks I am crazy for loving this movie and nobody really knew what it was which makes me so sad :(((((( It deserves so much more credit and attention!!
PLEASE. The reason I love animated media so much is because you can just get so invested into the worlds, characters, and atmosphere, because it's all intangible. With live action films, I get taken out bc I know it's all just props and normal people. But with animated media, it's visual expression of artists' vivid imaginations. Idk but I highly agree with you, I miss animated films (ESPECIALLY more mature/adult ones) so much :((
We all want this style back but Disney,pixar and dreamworks see that 3d cute talking animals give so much more money so we will never again see masterpieces like this.
His mother in the beginning is one of my all time favorite characters even though she only lasted the intro. Her voice always played in my mind when I was a kid and it lulled me to sleep. As I grew older i understood the meaning more to the song thus making me cry everytime I heard it.
When I watched The Prince of Egypt as a kid, I enjoyed the awesome animation and the music. Now as a grown up man I have understood how unbelievably outstanding this movie truly is. It doesn't shove the Bible based story right at your face, instead it tells the story in a more meaningful way. For an example the burning bush scene gives a different feeling of the presence of God. It is somehow more deeper than in the other religious movies. The story, the meaning, the animation and the music makes this movie a masterpiece in it's entirety.
Yeah, they always tries to portray God in movies like these as a BOOMING FORCE. When less is actually more. This movie got it right for sure. And I love how unforced the religious context was
This meaning that you feel from it IS the Bible. The Bible isnt a list of rules but a tool to bring hope to people and to teach you to be a good person by sacrificing yourself for other
Henry Tompkinson Its just as much as the Jews as it is the Muslims and Christians story. The most numerous believers of the story however are Christians so really more of a Christian story
When I first saw the scene of art sequence where the infanticide occur, i was pretty shocked, I have to stopped watching that movie , until a month later.
@@helioske Of course it was gruesome. Even Christians know that. But that's how things were in those times. Yet the word does teach us how to live a good life, and this is through the word of God.
True that. Honestly, a lot of the older animated mainstream movies were quite ballsy especially for it's time. The Prince of Egypt, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas (though, not accurate, the songs were ballsy af). I miss these kinds of stories but it's not as popular with the audience sadly.
Holy crap I did not appreciate this as a child. It was my favorite movie, but I didn't realize how much of a masterpiece it was until now. That freaking animation. I need to re-watch this.
This isn’t just a movie about the Bible, this isn’t a snazzy history lesson, this is a movie of conflicting ideologies, subtle yet easy to understand philosophy, and beautiful imagery
@@ivanstrydom8417nah I think he’s trying to say that it’s not just a religious movie that’s good, it’s an amazing movie that is about religion. Which as an atheist I agree with. I love this movie so much!!!
I'll just add... the thing that really makes the visuals in this film so uniquely mind-blowing, something I've never seen in any other traditionally animated movie, is the LIGHTING. It's exquisite. The way the shadows move with the movement of the characters, the way most scenes are backlit which shows the oppressive strength of the sun and those incredible scenes (such as when Moses drops his torch after seeing the mural) where the light sorce itself actually moves and reflects from the characters and environment... it's fantastic. This was hand-drawn. They didn't have the lighting technology that we do today in 3D animation. Yet there's not one scene where the colours look unnatural, like most Disney films. It must've taken so much effort and the end result is just beautiful. (Of course the characters are beautifully animated too!)
I think there might have been some computer generated imagery that went along the 2D animation. I don't have a source or anything, but it would make sense considering the time period it came out, and it just kind of has that look of 2D animation that's enhanced by CGI. Not saying that makes it bad or anything, but I think that might have been how they achieved the lighting.
@@brickman409 Oh, there was definitely some CGI assistance, but it's still primarily a hand-drawn film and Daisy C is quite right about how hard it'd be to get the lighting right. In a way, it might've been *harder* to get the lighting right if they had used the software available at the time.
Well from what I’ve heard. This movie took them like 9 years to make so I’m sure they must have had a lot of time to perfect what they were trying to create.
Anyone of any religion, background, or age can enjoy this movie, and I think that’s what makes it so special. It’s beautiful, wether you’re talking about the writing, the songs, or the animation. This movie deserves EVERYTHING
@@percycat213 yes to this day I still recall that shadow of the giant shark (?) and how terrifying that must have been that's a giant mother fucking fish god damn
God describes it in the quran as this: Translation of chapter26:verse63 : "Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast."
@@danni_roma Regardless of whether there are preexisting myths surrounding this story, they clearly drew from the Judeo-Christian story for the movie, and handled it quite respectfully. Not sure what you're trying to say here.
Andrew Cook I’m not sure what I’m trying to say either, and as the guy here said I’m just pointing out that Christianity happened much later. I just scroll through all the comments and see hundreds of people referring to the exodus as a Christian story or as a part of Christianity. Im Jewish and to me this movie is fascinating due to the fact that a Christian country produced a movie retelling the story of Hebrews (basically- Jewish people later on) using Hebrew language and mirroring one of the (if not THE) most important elements of Judaism. The first testament says ‘I am The Lord thy God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt’- the exodus is core in Jewish belief, and it represents the promise God made to the Israelites and the covenant between them. So it’s just really interesting to me that Christians are viewing this as a Christian story. This comment has no intention of being sassy or mean, I just don’t know much about Christianity and it’s interesting to me to see that everyone can relate to this story though basically being a story about the Jewish people.
@@danni_roma Ah, I see where you're coming from. It is definitely Judeo-Christian, in that both Judaism and Christianity claim it. I think we can both appreciate that a secular company treated it so well and respectfully. :) Glad we can come to understand each other. Thanks for responding!
@@danni_roma Also, I'm sorry if I sounded combative. My original assumption was that you were coming from an anti-religious perspective. I tried to combat that assumption, but I don't think I was entirely successful.
I was lucky enough to see this movie in theaters back in 1998, when I was 6. I laughed, I cried, I was terrified at Moses' dream sequence...I was completely absorbed. The whole thing felt larger than life. THIS quality of animation is what kids deserve to see.
I saw it in the movies too I didn't remember the year it came out but apparently I was 6 as well because I was born in 92 I didn't realize it came out in 98
The prince of Egypt is the most iconic movie ever made. It’s so underrated.It’s the most beautiful movie ever made in my eyes.Let’s also appreciate that Moses and his Mother both have gorgeous singing voices.
As a child, I unknowingly grew up with this masterpiece. The Prince of Egypt was a HUGE part of my childhood and I am forever grateful for this movie. I never forget.

My favorite part of this message is when Moses tells God that he can't talk to the pharaoh because he has a speech problem. And God replies with "Who made man's mouth? Was it not I?" I wish they would've put it in the movie though! Gives me chills everytime
@@seBcopTer Not really, because in the Bible Moses actually continue the argument and at the end God say something like "Fiine. Your brother Aaron will do the speaking, and you will just stand and show miracles". Basically every time in the movie Moses talk to the Hebrew, it is in fact Aaron
Honestly, THANK YOU for reviewing this movie. I believe that it's still not being done justice. The soundtrack is OFF THE CHARTS. THE STORYLINE!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯 Whenever I think of this movie tears come to bare, and all is right with the world again.
The scene of Moses meeting God is easily the single most beautiful piece animation in history. I have never seen anything to compare to. It is the only time I cried in a movie simply on the fact that the animation was so beautiful it drove me to tears. Edit: Also I did not expect to get this many likes thank y'all so much
My favorite part of that scene is that Val Kilmer voices both Moses and God, which makes sense, since God speaks to us through our spirits, not a booming voice from the sky.
Something comparable is in the anime Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. There are two scenes from it that blow my mind. The first one is at one point the main character goes through the portal of truth which is the laws of the universe and he meets "God" and "God" says to him that is called many things;"God" "Truth" "Creator" "Law" and lastly "You" like whew dude. The second is a SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU CARE ABOUT SPOILERS FOR FULL METAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD ENDING: The entire show is about Alchemy and life and the law of equivalent exchange in order to create something something of equal value must be given and when the young character Edward and his younger brother Alphonse were children they tried to bring their dead mother back to life and in turn Alphonse lost his body and Edward lost his leg but he managed to bind his brothers soul to a set of armor in exchange for his arm. At the end of the series he gives his brother his body back.... the way he does this is fucking phenomenal... he goes through the portal of truth and says to God he wants to give his brother his body back and God says how with what and he points to behind him to his own portal of truth and says "with this" and so he gives up his portal of truth to ever be able to use alchemy again to give his brother his body back and God just laughs and says "Good choice" and like omg dude its such a good series.
that's like what the gold flower bridge in Coco was for me. when you get a side shot at Miguel crossing it with his family, just uncomparably beautiful
I remember this movie largely for traumatizing me as a kid because my mom didn't bother to tell me that the death of the first born was a one time thing as she showed it to me on the night of Passover, so I was convinced I was gonna die. And also the amazing sound track.
@@dustydd I’m an only child, so I guess I’m technically a firstborn, but I think I always knew it was just that one night and just in Egypt. If I hadn’t, I’m sure that I would’ve been terrified.
The reason I love & appreciate this movie still at the age of 18 is because the movie doesn’t attempt to sugar coat or make the story of Moses cheesy Did they still have to cut a lot of stuff out? Yes of course, the old testament is bloody & scary as hell but I appreciate how they didn’t sugarcoat the slaughter of the newborn Hebrew boys nor the smiting of the first born. This movie could never get away with coming out today without being called offensive or too scary for children. I showed this movie to my parents recently & even they enjoyed it
@@michelleangelieuy7821 Oh! Sorry, so in the beginning it's Yocheved but later in the movie, Miriam sings the same song to her brother, Moses after he throws her to the ground. There's no music, just her voice, and it still makes me tear up😭
As a Christian I must say... this is the BEST Bible movie ever made... in fact, it’d consider it one of only like 4-5 bible movies that are actually good films period. This movie IS a masterpiece. The music is mesmerising, the animation is beautiful, and the acting is really solid. Shame it’s become forgotten.
Agreed. It's so well crafted. It's funny that this was inspired by The Ten Commandments because this is (in my opinion) both a better movie and a better adaptation of the original story.
@@pamdawkins13 No kidding, the classic Bible epics had some great music, but were *boring* movies. The actors all seemed to concerned with the 'dignity' of the project to actually *act.* Prince of Egypt and The Passion are the two best done Bible movies ever, as far as I'm concerned.
@@brigidtheirish I've never seen the Passion, so I can't comment on that, but otherwise, I agree. Maybe I'd feel differently if I saw The Ten Commandments under different circumstances, but I have a hard time taking everyone seriously when there's a love triangle and a love square going on in the background. (Though I have to admit, I'm impressed they managed to keep all the plot lines straight.) Anyway, the point is, Prince of Egypt is amazing, and I'm so glad I grew up with it. It's impossible for me to listen to the soundtrack without feeling the urge to burst into song like a Broadway character.
@@pamdawkins13 I highly recommend seeing it. Though be forewarned, all the dialog is in Latin, Aramaic, and Hebrew, so being able to read subtitles is a must. And, yeah, the old Bible epics in general are kinda hard to sit through.
Especially the hand drawn animation the CGI hasn't quite aged very well but thats understandable considering it was still the 90s and they used outdated sgi software
I feel like it's because it's so obviously great and Josh wanted to do a deeper reading that might otherwise go unnoticed. Like, when you think of The Prince of Egypt, the first thing you think of is how gorgeous it is, and he wanted to draw attention to its other, equally exceptional qualities.
I re-watch this movie every year at Pesach, and it hits me hard each time. A beautiful film, a marvelous adaptation of the Exodus, and still deeply meaningful to me as a Jew. It deserves infinite praise. Thanks for telling more people about it!
I get goosebumps when he throws away his sandals as soon as he realizes who he is standing before. I've felt the same crushing humility a few times in my life and it's a beautiful combination of fear and awe mixed with love and peace. It's amazing that they were able to capture this feeling in animation.
The bit where they all start singing "Lai lai lai" honestly gets me moving every time. It's difficult NOT to dance to. Makes me wish we had public group dances like that still, it really captures the joyous feeling of doing something together, much like my experiences with being a part of bands or choirs.
Well the movies they worked hard on before Shrek weren’t successful and why would they work hard on projects if they aren’t going to be successful, in the 2010s when all tryed different things weren’t such great hitters despite being great movies includes Megamind, Rise of Guardians, Turbo, Penguins of Madagascar etc
I still think DreamWorks does better movies than Disney. Don't get me wrong, I still like Disney, but really only for the older movies and the live action ones such as Cinderella.

You feel the emotions that Moses feels during this scene and it’s spot on with the animation.
It's so hard to believe Patrick Stewart said it, even if a line for the film, it's heart breaking.
Religious or not, everything about this movie was amazing. An underrated work of art.
It's preligious in the same way Disney's Herculer is religious really. Just an adaptation of a mythological story.

@@singularm5923 Seeing as Greek Paganism is dead but Judeo Christianity is not... That makes it more religious.
@@huntclanhunt9697 you realize that people still worship Greek gods right? it might be different than how christians worship but it's no less valid as a religion
@@abbie_joan It's classified as an extinct religion.
The opening scene showed a more graphic depiction of slavery than most live action movies I've seen. Those images certainly stayed with me.
I heard the broadway musical tanked b/c they didn't set a serious tone like the movie. It was more cheesy than powerful. 😞
Especially that one moment in the beginning where a Hebrew slave tries to help a collapsed elder back up, only for a guard to nonchalantly shove them both back in line. Even if there were some good people in that society, Egypt’s hierarchy was so corrupt that any act of virtue was quickly crushed with more violence.
I think they weren't slaves. In context of the egyptian's builds it's a stereotype. Mostly it was just villagers who went to build from their free will ( but then there was no food bc no one grew any). I'm not sure how Judes were treated there, but I guess they were just massive attacked with racizm... Like almost every minority at that time. There were slaves for sure, but not many in Egypt. Mostly it was foreigners from enemy's camp at war.
Maćkowy - Waniliowy serek homogenizowany Israelites were slaves of Egypt my G
Maćkowy - Waniliowy serek homogenizowany bruh they were ABSOLUTELY slaves. The entire conflict of the film is pharaoh not setting them free.

Seriously, even if you aren't religious how can it not move you? It's a BEAUTIFUL piece.
Opinion: The Prince of Egypt displays some of the most emotionally raw music ever made.
Many people would agree with you on that. Myself included, of course.
Listen to the Hebrew version of Deliver Us...it still sends chills down my spine every time I listen to it
“Send a shepard to shepard us” -Deliver Us
“I send the locusts on the wind such as the world has never seen” -The Plagues
“In the desert sand, a lake of gold is greater than a cool fresh spring” -Heaven’s Eyes

@@garybrown2039 As someone who's converting to Judaism, I asked what others of different denominations (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Haredi) thought of it as well as other extreme acts of Moses like the killing of the Midianites. The interpretation I saw was as simple as prophets being as human as the rest of us and thus as subject to being extreme, harsh, and being wrong, even when God trusted them. Doesn't make for a great animated story, but that's how I see it.
i believe that the scene in the movie is based off the second time Moses came down with the commandments, after the first time of smashing them and the golden calf event.
@@sambradley9091 Converting to Satanism you mean?
As a Christian, I was scared to recommend this to my atheist friends because I thought they would groan at the religious setting, so I was very surprised when they came to ME with it to gush about how great it was. I'm really happy everyone enjoys it😊
I’ve been an atheist for as long as I can remember, and I first watched this movie a few years ago because I heard of how good it is, and I think this film is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. I love how mature and down-to-earth this movie is and how it portrays the events of this story. Also the music and animation are both REALLY good. I think what sets this film apart from other religious media is that it’s main focus is telling a story and telling it well, not to convert viewers to a certain religion or belief system. I think this movie is great for everyone, I don’t think you have to be a certain religion to like it.
A good film is a good film. This movie and Joseph King of Dreams have perfect story telling which is all you need.
I've always thought The Passion of the Christ was a brilliant film, regardless of whatever theology you may have. The shots and wordless story telling are spectacular. Much better than those standard God's Not Dead movies
I’m an atheist, but I’m also having some second handed embarrassment that this adaptation chose to skip over completely (and judging by how excited the crowd was when Moses climbed off of Mount Sinai, they most probably never did the thing) the whole Golden Calf fiasco.
It’s so funny because I wasn’t raised religious but this movie will always been special to me!! I feel like they do an amazing job talking about the religiousness of the actually story from the Bible without being to preachy!!
As a former Christian turned agnostic (who feels entirely put off by the pushiness of religion in media) this is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, both musically and visually. I find a lot of my atheist friends feel the same way.

Hans Zimmer did the composition for the music, so it's not surprising how striking it is. I will always remember Ofra Haza's voice in Deliver Us, and how she sang that part in every translation of this movie, singing in various languages.
Songs were written by Stephen Schwartz. Zimmer arranged the whole OST, but he only composed the orchestral pieces.
Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

I haven’t watched this movie in 15 years, and I know exactly what scenes you’re talking about and the feeling you’re describing. Crazy to think what an effect it had on me, I should really rewatch this movie
That scene made me laugh when I watched it for the 2nd time.
Never could forget about a movie like this. Also: who else misses the time when animation used to look like this? I love the simple style wayyyy more than the animation style nowadays
i’d honestly much rather watch a movie with this animation style than like frozen 2 even tho it’s definitely impressive it’s just not as personal or creative
Ikr, even by today's standards, especially the scene where Moses parts the sea, the animation is spectacular and breathtaking.
I showed my young sister Princess Mononoke one time and she told me that she can't watch this because the animation sucks. I think children's eyes today are just more accustomed to 3D animation while for me hand drawn animation cannot be topped by anything ever! I'd take Cowboy Bebop or Ghost In The Shell over the best of the best of Pixar any day of the week.

I remember as a kid not caring for this movie because it was dark, but as an adult this blew me away. I think the problem about prince of Egypt is it’s always marketed as a kids movie when it really isn’t, it’s an art piece that appeals to a wide audience. I hope people give it another chance with older eyes, they’ll love it!
"...it's marketed as a kids movie but it isn't"...... That is actually a very observant point. Never thought about it that way but you are right. This is more of a movie for everyone older than 9 or 10 years.... Maybe if the child is really mature for his or her age, they could watch it from the age of 6 or 7.
I loved it as a kid, but I love it more now
Idk but I loved this as a kid and still do now. I remember being 5 and balling my eyes out in the beginning of “deliver us” and baby Moses parting from his mother. Even now, that song and visuals gives me goosebumps. Such a masterpiece
I still don’t get why some people won’t give this movie a chance, just because it has to do with God. That’s like me refusing to watch Hercules just because the Greek gods are in it.
Andrew Gardiner damn that sucks man, I’m sorry 🤧 Hercules was such a good movie
The reason why is s because most, well all Christian movies end to peach and force the message of "Believe in God and everything will be alright. But if you don`t believe in God, then you`re a bad person." Films like God`s not Dead do stuff like this.
@@trystenlyth1139 Right. We've must've watched different movies then.
A lot of people have come to hate God because of the actions of those who call themselves "His faithful".
People think that just because you dont belive in something that you cant learn from it

For me what really put me in awe was the last plague. It was quiet, haunting. Normally in movies, deaths are dramatic and visual, but here it was painless and quick and silent
Dude, I know, right?
I also love how GOD essentially makes fun of the Egyptian Gods like Ra (the plague of darkness ) and Anibus (the death of the first born)...
Hauntingly beautiful.
about the last scene all i can think of is the massacre that is about to happen the tragedy of the deaths that will come.......
expecially with the ones before being worse and worse in magnitude with louder music, then it stops before the last plauge, and keeps it calm and silent and respectful
8:55 As a 9yr old, this scene took my breath away and made the hair on my skin rise. It put into perspective Gods majestic creations and how small we are as humans. I was amazed yet felt very insignificant but overall wowed by this scene. The music, the dark colors, the size comparisons were amazing and accurate. I could almost feel how cold and dark it was and how scared I would be if the lightning struck and illuminated the water to reveal a massive whale
that's not whale man, that's a very big shark
That’s a whale shark
Whale fins are oriented horizontally. So whatever that creature was, it was a huge fish.

@@jujjuj7676 A lot of atheist right now is going to look at your comment and see how you are being a dick.
DreamWorks before:
The Prince of Egypt

The Boss Baby
As good as the shrek movies where it lead to a lower standard for their movies.
When the audience goes to see those kinds of movies rather than the master pieces like Prince of Egypt, it only makes sense at a business perspective to keep doing what the audience want to see or pay to see... so you get Boss baby. I think the majority of people seeking for stupid comedy based movies now a days is do to the fact that depression is at an all time high in our generation, that's why comedy is getting shoved in nearly everything, even in scenes that are supposed to be dark and traumatic like wars and battle scenes... *cough* Marvel *cough* Star Wars *cough.*

There's a "blink and you miss it" moment that to me says it all about Ramses. It's in the first conversation he and Moses have about setting the Hebrews free. He is sitting down with two statues in the background. The statue of himself overshadows the one of his father, but the latter overshadows Ramses himself.
I personally like animated movies more than live action because the messages like this that you can convey.
yuppp i noticed that ! a masterpiece indeed ❤️
The first time I noticed it and understood the symbolism behind that my jaw dropped because it was that perfect mix of obvious but subtle
@Michael Krull
Yeah I noticed that, even as a kid, but I didn't have the vocabulary or intellect to explain what that was, or what it meant.
Heck to be fair I didn't notice the complexity of Rameses character in this film until two years ago. Which is kinda sad given what I've learned about character writing.
the only problem i have is with the ending because it ended just right before a B L O O D Y scene
Watching for the first time as an adult it’s crazy how relatable Ramses is in his motives and how we spend the rest of our lives aggressively trying to prove ourselves to our parents even when they’re gone and how insecurity and inability to let go create so much suffering for yourself and everyone who depends on you

holy crap you're right

This movie has a very special place in my heart. When NATO was bombing Serbia in '99 , I was 6 years old. The Prince of Egypt had just come out in cinema, and I really wanted to watch it so my dad decided to take me to this one and only cinema open in Belgrade during the state of emergency. Halfway there, the emergency sirens went off, but we kept on going. When we arrived, the ticket booth guy was surprised to see us, but let us in anyways. We were the only ones in the theater and I remember loving every second of it. I will NEVER EVER forget that day nor this magical movie.
What a sweet childhood memory. Really makes you appreciate some things.
this is beautiful.❤️❤️
This is really an incredible story. Thanks for sharing!
Pilgrimage well made
Your story deserves an animated movie it self.
Did you know, this movie is actually held in esteem and held as closest to the story by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? That's impressive as hell.
Islam doesn't really adhere to stories like this.
ARC9652 Productions this story is in the Quran
ARC9652 Productions And both Moses and Jesus are recognized as major prophets. Muslims aren't supposed to visualise the persons of prophets (to prevent cult of personality and idolisation). But being aware of this on principle as a Muslim, I went ahead and viewed it. I've since also introduced it to my son, and we both love the majesty of the production and lessons of the story.
@@ARC9652 It absolutely does. The Quran tells the story of Moses throughout it.
@@ARC9652 in fact, mosses is the most mentioned prophet in the quran.
And his story is told with great details, and from beginning til end, and even tells about some stories of those muslim prophets who were sent to the Jewish people.
5:44 translated :
We revealed the Torah with guidance and light, and the prophets, who had submitted to God (literal translation of being muslim), judged according to it for the Jews. So did the rabbis and the scholars in accordance with that part of God’s Scripture which they were entrusted to preserve, and to which they were witnesses. So [rabbis and scholars] do not fear people, fear Me; do not barter away My messages for a small price; those who do not judge according to what God has sent down are rejecting [God’s teachings].
It starts before he was born, when the pharaoh was killing the newly born Israelites a year and letting them live whose born in the next year,
And Moses peace be upon him was born in the year of killing,
And god tells how he inspired his mother to put him in a coffin and put him in water, and the water carried the coffin to the palace of the Pharoah... Then he rejected all breasts of women feeders, so his sister told the guards that she can lead them to someone, only so that god would return Moses peace be upon him to his mother so she would not be in grief.
I can go on but his story is pretty long and it continues until they were ordered to get into the holy land, Jerusalem..
Joseph: The King of Dreams was also another really good dreamworks movie made a few years after The Prince of Egypt. It’s not necessarily the same level as the POE but has it’s own style that is similar and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it. Joseph was voiced by Ben Affleck.
POE was definitely one of the greatest animated movies of all time and the soundtrack was equally amazing. Animated movies have never been on the same level since.
I think what made that movie 'fail' from a technical standpoint was because the advertisement at the time was as though it was a sequel and not a prequel and at that time there was a lot of bad luck for direct DVD movies so, I think they unknowingly shot themselves in the foot when it came to Joseph. That doesn't mean they didn't try.
@@NAVEMAN3 That’s very interesting. I didn’t think about it that way.
@@shaquayquay8406 I never got the chance to see the movie in its entirety but I have seen clips here on YT and it really is a good story. It's one of my favorites other than Moses and Soloman the Wise of the Old Testament from the Bible. Maybe if they brought more attention to Joseph and have not taken short-cuts like other sequels, it would've survived the sequel hate like some of the Disney ones. That's just my opinion.

Are you still a child then? If so then learn from an elder of yours, and do not be overly concerned with entertainment, no matter how good, because the stylism of film and the lens thereof can create a disconnect between yourself and the dogma you must learn.

I think it gets passed over because of the biblical themes..some people just dont want to see or hear it, no matter the platform. It is a awesome movie, Ralph Fiennes as ramses is incredible.
Oh yes, amazing voice acting from him!
I’m an atheist and it’s one of my favourite movies ever.
@@Danquebec01 Yep, me too. Yes the story is from a religious text and has religious content, but there is also just a genuinely good story and great characters woven throughout it, which makes it worth watching for anyone
Wouldn't say only that, others factors could apply here too, perhaps it was the release date? OTher films overshadowing it? The dooming process of 2d being replaced by 3d, etc.
lol "passed over" I really hope that was intentional
What I love most about this film is that Moses and Ramses are brothers. And they stay brothers throughout the entire film. Moses gets Ramses into trouble but they're still joking and being bros. When Moses kills the Egyptian, and finds out he's a Hebrew, Ramses doesn't care and still loves him. When Moses comes back to Egypt from Midian, Ramses is so happy and wants to give him a royal welcome. When the plague song happens, Moses laments that he's destroying what was his home and wishes god had chosen another person. Even despite the plagues Ramses wishes he could have the old Moses back. When Ramses son dies, Moses weeps for him.
I always hated how in the 10 Commandments Movie, they were so one dimensional. Brothers/siblings are always portrayed at odds in film, but in this movie especially, it highlights how that despite having opposing views, despite ones actions be they good or evil, you can still love someone.
This analysis is so beautiful and so so so very true. It makes the film more heartbreaking.
the brotherhood bond is what always makes me tear up in this movie, thank you for explaining it so well
In reality Moses and Ramses might not have known each other that way. Moses was much younger. Also, he was always seen as a lesser since the Hebrews were descriminated against. Moses always knew his origin and never felt like he was Egyptian.
@@zztopz7090 well, I mean, technically the pharaoh of the exodus wasn't Ramses anyway... And I don't think we know Moses's age relative to the Pharaoh. But yeah, the textural narrative we have available doesn't imply that Moses was ever unaware of who he was.
James Bednarz
Spot on! It’s the stand alone aspect of this movie for me! It’s a theme completely lost in filmmaking today.
The score of this film is absolutely breathtaking. I heard it as a child and it never left me.
I swear to god every time Moses scraped his foot and broke sandal.... I would literally close my eyes whenever I knew it was coming cause it hurt to watch lol
Oh my goodness! I always did the same lol
I'm so happy to hear someone else say this. I cringe every time I see that shot.
Same
But why tho
I cringe at that so hard every time too. Can feel it on my toes every time
That scene where Ramses closes his eyes then opens them to glare at Moses is so creepy but it may be one of my favorite sequences in animation
i think he was morning the loss of HIS moses and steeling himself for facing of the moses in front of him.
Okay i thought I was the only one lol
Yo.. act out that scene everything. Timing when he opens his eyes. Lol
It's really powerful!
U can literally feel what he feels. You see the pain in his eyes when he realises the reason for Moses’ return and as Moses returns the ring as prince regent Ramases’ hurt become anger. His fathers words resonate with him, becoming his greatest fear: being the weakest link.
"I will not be the weak link!" *jazzhop plays*
This movie is one of my all time favorites. The depth that they put into the relationship between Moses and Ramases alone is fantastic. I still can't believe how well the animation conveys their emotions toward each other. The clearly still love each other and see each other as brothers in spite of everything that's happened between them. It's incredibly moving.

Anyways, I also love Treasure Planet. Another forgotten masterpiece. :D

Yes! Same i dont beleive in non of the relegions showing in the movie but its one of the most amazing one i have seen
Whether or not you believe in the stories, the stories in the Bible and other religious traditions have guided countless people and of course are valuable. Glad to hear people are able to recognize the value in these stories without feeling the need to tie their identity to them.

Validity and meaning
Whether you do or do not believe the validity of the stories, you can still appreciate the meaning of them. The bible isn't just a bunch of pointless stories, they're lessons and teachings.
Whether the events happened or not
@@nokachi3339 I agree with you. unfortunately people take them way to seriously
6:44 And that, right there, is the moment that Rameses became the villain of the movie. He was actually a pretty decent guy up to this point, but the weight of his father's crown outweighs his brotherly love for Moses.
That's what I love the most about this movie. Both Ramses and Moses seem very real, very human. Is not like Ramses is a cartoony villain with villain-y desires to do evil and just make the life of the hero a mess, and Moses is a perfect, flawless hero. They are both imperfect, they can both seem selfish at times, they both make mistakes... but Moses learns and accepts his own fault and decides to change and be better, Ramses is so buried under expectations and his own pride, that he refuses to see his mistakes and attempt to be better. He doesn't want to hurt Moses nor does he hate him, he actually loves him, and is confused on why he's not on his side anymore. And Moses doesn't see Ramses as a villain, but as someone he loves that needs to be persuaded of what's best. And you can find both types of people in real life. The thing that is the most human is their relationship, you can see how much they love each other, how deeply it pains them to have opposite convictions and how this makes them be enemies, because they continue to love each other as brothers.
God the writing and storytelling in this movie is a fucking master piece.
It really made me think of the passage in the Bible, “and so God hardened Ramses’ heart.” I remember that puzzling me as a kid. “If God wants them to get along, why... have them fight?” 😅 Every time I see it, in that silence of him making the decision, I always hear “And so God hardened Ramses’ heart.”
@@SunflowerSpotlight It isn't a direct hardening. What it means is that through moses Pharoahs heart got harder and harder. Not that God made him more stubborn
@@Piratearicat23 Right. Even at the very end, when Ramses is yelling "MOSES!", it's ambiguous whether it's meant to be, "Curse you, Moses!" or "Moses, I'm sorry, please come back!"
He missed it and I'm so sad he did but look at 5:44. Earlier in the movie there's a scene with Pharaoh Seti talking to Moses and Ramses about legacy and needing to hold up the weight of their ancestors. And in the background there's a statue of Seti dominating the environment. When the scene of 5:44 comes up you see Ramses has built a second statue beneath his father's. HE'S LITERALLY STUCK IN HIS FATHER'S SHADOW!
I love this film so much because you can literally feel it. Everything about it evokes emotion. It’s beautiful.
There are also sooo many small details you catch on when you watch it multiple times, like when Moses and his people leave Egypt, there are two egyptian guards who just drop their spears and go in the same direction. And they are there, at the other side of the sea! I love it cause it means no matter who you were in the past, it can be forgiven if you willing to change. The two egyptian guards decided they just want to leave this system and they did. And Hebrews let them, they were all equals.
God, i love this movie
Glad I am not the only one who noticed it!
There's so. SOOO much visual storytelling in this movie. Like early in the movie when Pharaoh is talking to Ramses and Moses about legacy you see Seti standing in front of a tower with just his face on it. Later in the movie Moses returns and he's talking to Ramses you see Ramses now has a his own tower right underneath Seti's. He's literally in his father's shadow that he can't escape from. Also when Moses and Ramses are debating with each other just before the 10th plague and Ramses proudly proclaims he will kill the Hebrew children he's standing in the same position and pointing as his father's mural on the wall. Except in place of the babies falling to be eaten by gators is Ramses's own son. And the scene closes with Moses saying "you've brought this on yourself."God why is this movie so good!
Also after ramases and moses are scolded by pharoah, moses is whistling the lullaby before he speaks to his brother.
I never noticed that! It's really cool that they included that because it does say that more than just the Hebrews left Egypt during the Exodus in the Bible.
I do believe the Biblical account mentions some Egyptians going with them.
Moses: I diagnose you with Letma.
Rameses: What’s Letma?
Moses: L E T M A P E O P L E G O
moses febrian nothing much

The scene with the burning bush where God lifts up Moses and holds him, comforting him.....I Still cry and get chills.

I have three Athiest friends, all of whom have watched this film at some point of their lives, and they all love this film. Thats what makes this film great, anyone no matter the religion can feel moved and connected to this film
Boy, if I remember my bible, Moses is about to flip when the movie ends.
You remember correctly lol

I laughed so hard when I was reading people’s reactions to it like- “Aw it ends so happy!” And I was like- “Y’all don’t know about the Golden Calf, do you?”
The Flick Chick when they made their own god? 💀
Yeah. Moses goes up on the mountain to talk to God and doesn’t come back for a really long time so they’re all like- “Huh. Guess he’s dead and God’s fake. Let’s make our own God.” And then Moses came back and was like- “WHAT”
Don't forget the stunning vocals by Ofra Haza in the beginning of the film that she sang in 20 different languages. Really makes your shiver. Indeed the "Madonna of the Middle East".
I’ve always been in awe of that kind of vocal. I was classically trained, leaned into opera, loved singing cantobella, went to nationals, etc, but like... how!? That style and her specific effortlessness was always captivating and fascinating to me. It’s such an interesting sound, like the vocal gymnastics of yodeling crossed with a more supported operatic command, with Eastern scales thrown in for good measure. Absolutely amazing.
I think she passed a couple years ago.
Absolutely! I was listening to some of her music one day, and came across a song that she sang that sounded so emotional and moving. It turned out to be the Israeli national anthem. I was really surprised, and just kept listening to it through out the day, her voice is so beautiful!

Which is essentially the Torah (if memory serves me, I myself am not Jewish, apologies if I get that wrong) Regardless, its still part of both religious mythos. See, I grew up reading the Bible, and this story is in the Bible. In fact this story is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I remember my mom had me start reading the Bible start to finish when I was a kid. I only got as far as the Book of Matthew before life kinda got in the way, but this was by far one of the more enjoyable stories for me, because of prince of Egypt.

That's the best part. You don't need religion to love it. Its message is universal: *Let your own view of reality help you see your life in a better light.* For some, Heaven's Eyes is literal. For others, it's spiritual. For you, it's metaphorical. It can lift anybody up, and it deserves more credit for that.
in reality the title must be: the magical false prince of egypt
God still loves all of you - and awaits you all to come home.
Its not forgotten...its the most beautiful animation movie to me ever. I saw it first when I was 8 years old, rewatched it with my adult eyes....still slaps the same. The subject, the character design, the colors, the music. Perfection.
I'm Christian, also an Aspiring story Writer. I want to make an ANYTHING like this. A display with religious beliefs integrated without it being condescending or insulting to anyone who isn't also Religious. A piece like the Prince of Egypt where a vast majority of the comments of RUclips videos about it start with "I'm not religious but" or "I'm not Christian but." I want to use my faith to make people happy instead of insulting them, making something anyone can enjoy. I personally cannot wait to do so.
Even as a Christian it's hard to watch Christian movies cuz they make them super cheesy. It can be feel good but true to the seriousness of the story, like this movie or like veggie tales jonah. Jonah does it even make it and that's a kid's movie. But the lesson is made clear. Also no more super smiley, kinda creepy, white, hippie, lookin Jesus.😞 Not just to be accurate but to make sure Christianity aknowledges they way people tried to make our religion pro slavery and pro white supremacy. I'm ranting but I'm really excited to see someone who wants to see the stories of our culture shown w/the purpose of love and respect. Like, something they'd be proud to show angels. 💜
@@Vi-ok8of I'm glad you're excited. Also "Hippy looking Jesus" 😂😂😂
@@Vi-ok8of it's also really important to know the difference in nature between slavery as practiced by Israelites vs. The slavery us Americans know. Slavery in israel is more a keen to indentured servitude. Slaves were treated with respect with MANY laws implicated to ensure no one would remain a slave their entire lives and that a slave could pay off his debt. Many people actually sold themselves into slavery to pay off debts. Was it perfect? No, and God made it known that they allowed slavery in the first place as a means to make a very common practice at the time more ethical. If you're ever interested, look into the jubilee year. Essentially it's a holiday that freed all slaves.
@@nikosfilipino "more a keen"
But you need to ask yourself. Do you want to please everyone or do you want to please God? As far as I know, it’s Biblically written that the world denies God and his word. The world hated Jesus. So talking about God or Jesus will always be an insult to many, maybe the mayority.
So you gotta ask yourself: Do I want to preach or teach the true uncensored word of God? Even if people don’t like it Or Do I want to make famously good entertaining movies? Both have their benefits, but the first one has eternal benefits and second gains temporal ones. I tell you, if you want to please God, you won’t please the world.
the only reason people get offended would be because of their pride.
Truth is, God promises to prosper you, so whatever you do, if it’s his will, it will be great
The image of the Angel of Death as an eldtritch wind descending from a gulf in space is still the coolest depiction of God's true power I've ever seen.
Yes! It still freaks me out as an adult.
Many times angels have appeared to man and say: "Do not be afraid!", and yet they are terrified at it's presence.
For me in particular, I think just the audio from that part of the movie makes it an extremely powerful moment in the movie, from the absolute silence (no backtrack of music) to the light sound of breath as the first born are taken, and at the end, when the hand has taken all the first born, the distant wailing cries of the people. Even just thinking about makes me tear up.
@@AnonEMus-cp2mn I always wonder if angels do exist would they be more incomprehensible i feel if god exist and if angels existed then they would be far beyond what humans could understand as it isn't something within our ideal of reality. In this movie they really push that and I respect their artistic choice for the angel of death.
@@Coco-vv8nf In the Bible Angels are depicted in a number of ways but yes, they are anthropomorphized or take human form to be appreciable, but like you said, humans can't see their true form. God says so of Himself to Moses, and the NT also says "No man has seen God at any time." The movie Interstellar, of all things, got me to appreciate that objects in higher dimensions are imperceptible to human eyes, so from a scientific standpoint, perhaps, there is an explanation for the Invisibility of the Spirit realm
Me: loving the music and almost crying every time Deliver Us plays wondering why It’s so good
You:”...Hanz Zimmer”
Me: well that would explain it
Someone said on another vid “Hans Zimmer did NOT have to go this hard, but he did and we love him for it”
Guys, Zimmer only did the SCORE for the film, the songs were written by Stephen Schwartz, who, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated songwriter in Hollywood
I love the score “the burning bush.” The main chorus of it just invokes a sense of awe. (Again, Hanz Zimmer)
@@deepfryerhouse6885 "The Burning Bush" is one of his best pieces ever. And I saw that man in concert. HA! (The nerd that I am.) He did not need to go that hard but he did and I am forever grateful.
@@juliannenorkus9125 I definitely don’t consider you a nerd if you went to a Hans Zimmer concert. That’s one of my life goals.
I thought I was insane for listening to deliver us on repeat, crying to the opening and gorgeous animation, the stunning parting of the water, how this movie was my childhood. Everyone thinks I am crazy for loving this movie and nobody really knew what it was which makes me so sad :(((((( It deserves so much more credit and attention!!
The west REALLY needs to get off it's blind hate towards animations these days. We really need to go back to this level of intensity of animated films
YES
To tell, deepen, and give more impact to the lesson and moral of a story indeed.
PLEASE. The reason I love animated media so much is because you can just get so invested into the worlds, characters, and atmosphere, because it's all intangible. With live action films, I get taken out bc I know it's all just props and normal people. But with animated media, it's visual expression of artists' vivid imaginations. Idk but I highly agree with you, I miss animated films (ESPECIALLY more mature/adult ones) so much :((
True
We all want this style back but Disney,pixar and dreamworks see that 3d cute talking animals give so much more money so we will never again see masterpieces like this.
I'm not even religious but this is a really fantastic movie that deserves way more credit.
Good point
His mother in the beginning is one of my all time favorite characters even though she only lasted the intro. Her voice always played in my mind when I was a kid and it lulled me to sleep. As I grew older i understood the meaning more to the song thus making me cry everytime I heard it.
When I watched The Prince of Egypt as a kid, I enjoyed the awesome animation and the music. Now as a grown up man I have understood how unbelievably outstanding this movie truly is. It doesn't shove the Bible based story right at your face, instead it tells the story in a more meaningful way. For an example the burning bush scene gives a different feeling of the presence of God. It is somehow more deeper than in the other religious movies.
The story, the meaning, the animation and the music makes this movie a masterpiece in it's entirety.
The burning bush scene was great a portraying the actual burning bush scene. Wish religious media did more of these stories
Yeah, they always tries to portray God in movies like these as a BOOMING FORCE. When less is actually more. This movie got it right for sure. And I love how unforced the religious context was
This meaning that you feel from it IS the Bible. The Bible isnt a list of rules but a tool to bring hope to people and to teach you to be a good person by sacrificing yourself for other
@@TheFIoridaMan This is a story from the Tanakh, so it's more of a Jewish story.
Henry Tompkinson Its just as much as the Jews as it is the Muslims and Christians story. The most numerous believers of the story however are Christians so really more of a Christian story
I like how DreamWorks has the balls to portray how terrifying
the old testament is especially the first born or angel of death scene.
When I first saw the scene of art sequence where the infanticide occur, i was pretty shocked, I have to stopped watching that movie , until a month later.
yeah
@@helioske Of course it was gruesome. Even Christians know that. But that's how things were in those times. Yet the word does teach us how to live a good life, and this is through the word of God.
Cat. E. Yahew was a war god
True that. Honestly, a lot of the older animated mainstream movies were quite ballsy especially for it's time. The Prince of Egypt, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas (though, not accurate, the songs were ballsy af). I miss these kinds of stories but it's not as popular with the audience sadly.
Holy crap I did not appreciate this as a child. It was my favorite movie, but I didn't realize how much of a masterpiece it was until now. That freaking animation. I need to re-watch this.
Ah hell ye
The prince of Egypt, Treasure Planet and Eldorado are some great hidden gems
Most of my favorite animated films come from dreamworks, sinbad, spirit, and even Joseph king of dreams.
*YES*
Those were my favorite movies growing up
Plus spirit and Atlantis
Eldorado is hilarious! it’s majorly slept on!!
Any respect for Atlantis or just me?
This isn’t just a movie about the Bible, this isn’t a snazzy history lesson, this is a movie of conflicting ideologies, subtle yet easy to understand philosophy, and beautiful imagery
But....''conflicting ideologies, subtle yet easy to understand philosophy'' is exactly what the Bible and History is...
@@ivanstrydom8417 yeah seemed kinda redundant lol
@@ivanstrydom8417nah I think he’s trying to say that it’s not just a religious movie that’s good, it’s an amazing movie that is about religion. Which as an atheist I agree with. I love this movie so much!!!
I mean exodus also had those themes it just wasnt as explored as in this movie
I'll just add... the thing that really makes the visuals in this film so uniquely mind-blowing, something I've never seen in any other traditionally animated movie, is the LIGHTING. It's exquisite. The way the shadows move with the movement of the characters, the way most scenes are backlit which shows the oppressive strength of the sun and those incredible scenes (such as when Moses drops his torch after seeing the mural) where the light sorce itself actually moves and reflects from the characters and environment... it's fantastic. This was hand-drawn. They didn't have the lighting technology that we do today in 3D animation. Yet there's not one scene where the colours look unnatural, like most Disney films. It must've taken so much effort and the end result is just beautiful.
(Of course the characters are beautifully animated too!)
I think there might have been some computer generated imagery that went along the 2D animation. I don't have a source or anything, but it would make sense considering the time period it came out, and it just kind of has that look of 2D animation that's enhanced by CGI. Not saying that makes it bad or anything, but I think that might have been how they achieved the lighting.
@@brickman409 Oh, there was definitely some CGI assistance, but it's still primarily a hand-drawn film and Daisy C is quite right about how hard it'd be to get the lighting right. In a way, it might've been *harder* to get the lighting right if they had used the software available at the time.
go watch fate stay night heavens feel or unlimited blade works those 2 will blow your mind away
Well from what I’ve heard. This movie took them like 9 years to make so I’m sure they must have had a lot of time to perfect what they were trying to create.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Anyone of any religion, background, or age can enjoy this movie, and I think that’s what makes it so special. It’s beautiful, wether you’re talking about the writing, the songs, or the animation. This movie deserves EVERYTHING
When moses parts the red sea in this movie, the water doesnt just split, it rises into the sky
The shadows of the whales swimming was just incredibly breathtaking
Accurate, Bible says the water stood up like walls.👌
@@percycat213 yes to this day I still recall that shadow of the giant shark (?) and how terrifying that must have been that's a giant mother fucking fish god damn
God describes it in the quran as this:
Translation of chapter26:verse63 :
"Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast."
I continue to be impressed that a non-Christian film company so faithfully represented this beautiful story. Such an underrated film.
Andrew Cook Well, it’s a non-Christian myth
@@danni_roma Regardless of whether there are preexisting myths surrounding this story, they clearly drew from the Judeo-Christian story for the movie, and handled it quite respectfully. Not sure what you're trying to say here.
Andrew Cook I’m not sure what I’m trying to say either, and as the guy here said I’m just pointing out that Christianity happened much later. I just scroll through all the comments and see hundreds of people referring to the exodus as a Christian story or as a part of Christianity. Im Jewish and to me this movie is fascinating due to the fact that a Christian country produced a movie retelling the story of Hebrews (basically- Jewish people later on) using Hebrew language and mirroring one of the (if not THE) most important elements of Judaism. The first testament says ‘I am The Lord thy God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt’- the exodus is core in Jewish belief, and it represents the promise God made to the Israelites and the covenant between them. So it’s just really interesting to me that Christians are viewing this as a Christian story. This comment has no intention of being sassy or mean, I just don’t know much about Christianity and it’s interesting to me to see that everyone can relate to this story though basically being a story about the Jewish people.
@@danni_roma Ah, I see where you're coming from. It is definitely Judeo-Christian, in that both Judaism and Christianity claim it. I think we can both appreciate that a secular company treated it so well and respectfully. :) Glad we can come to understand each other. Thanks for responding!
@@danni_roma Also, I'm sorry if I sounded combative. My original assumption was that you were coming from an anti-religious perspective. I tried to combat that assumption, but I don't think I was entirely successful.
I was lucky enough to see this movie in theaters back in 1998, when I was 6. I laughed, I cried, I was terrified at Moses' dream sequence...I was completely absorbed. The whole thing felt larger than life. THIS quality of animation is what kids deserve to see.
Oh my days the dream sequence terrified me, even when I watch it now I skip the part of when his eyes open in the dream
Nowadays, it's just full of jokes. There arent that many good quality movies like this anymore.
I saw it in the movies too I didn't remember the year it came out but apparently I was 6 as well because I was born in 92 I didn't realize it came out in 98
Agreed
The prince of Egypt is the most iconic movie ever made. It’s so underrated.It’s the most beautiful movie ever made in my eyes.Let’s also appreciate that Moses and his Mother both have gorgeous singing voices.
As a child, I unknowingly grew up with this masterpiece. The Prince of Egypt was a HUGE part of my childhood and I am forever grateful for this movie. I never forget.

When Moses doesn’t want to obey God and then God convinces him... man that was a powerful scene it gets me every time.
My favorite part of this message is when Moses tells God that he can't talk to the pharaoh because he has a speech problem. And God replies with "Who made man's mouth? Was it not I?" I wish they would've put it in the movie though! Gives me chills everytime
@@christic5339 it is in the movie
@@seBcopTer Not really, because in the Bible Moses actually continue the argument and at the end God say something like "Fiine. Your brother Aaron will do the speaking, and you will just stand and show miracles". Basically every time in the movie Moses talk to the Hebrew, it is in fact Aaron
"Who made man's mouth? Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing, or the blind? Did not I? Now go!"
@@lunabunny91 me too
Honestly, THANK YOU for reviewing this movie.
I believe that it's still not being done justice.
The soundtrack is OFF THE CHARTS. THE STORYLINE!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
Whenever I think of this movie tears come to bare, and all is right with the world again.
The scene of Moses meeting God is easily the single most beautiful piece animation in history. I have never seen anything to compare to. It is the only time I cried in a movie simply on the fact that the animation was so beautiful it drove me to tears.
Edit: Also I did not expect to get this many likes thank y'all so much
My favorite part of that scene is that Val Kilmer voices both Moses and God, which makes sense, since God speaks to us through our spirits, not a booming voice from the sky.
@@AndreNitroX I always assumed it was Mel Gibson
Something comparable is in the anime Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. There are two scenes from it that blow my mind. The first one is at one point the main character goes through the portal of truth which is the laws of the universe and he meets "God" and "God" says to him that is called many things;"God" "Truth" "Creator" "Law" and lastly "You" like whew dude. The second is a SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU CARE ABOUT SPOILERS FOR FULL METAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD ENDING: The entire show is about Alchemy and life and the law of equivalent exchange in order to create something something of equal value must be given and when the young character Edward and his younger brother Alphonse were children they tried to bring their dead mother back to life and in turn Alphonse lost his body and Edward lost his leg but he managed to bind his brothers soul to a set of armor in exchange for his arm. At the end of the series he gives his brother his body back.... the way he does this is fucking phenomenal... he goes through the portal of truth and says to God he wants to give his brother his body back and God says how with what and he points to behind him to his own portal of truth and says "with this" and so he gives up his portal of truth to ever be able to use alchemy again to give his brother his body back and God just laughs and says "Good choice" and like omg dude its such a good series.
Gon confronting Pitou in Hunter x Hunter is quite breathtaking.
As is the scream by the protaganist of Angel Egg.
that's like what the gold flower bridge in Coco was for me. when you get a side shot at Miguel crossing it with his family, just uncomparably beautiful
I remember this movie largely for traumatizing me as a kid because my mom didn't bother to tell me that the death of the first born was a one time thing as she showed it to me on the night of Passover, so I was convinced I was gonna die. And also the amazing sound track.
Same
lol same here
I think it’s agreed upon us first borns that when we first saw this movie and that scene happened we were nervously sweating.
Right!!! I also read exodus when I was 12 and was still terrified when I read about the firstborn scene O.o
@@dustydd I’m an only child, so I guess I’m technically a firstborn, but I think I always knew it was just that one night and just in Egypt. If I hadn’t, I’m sure that I would’ve been terrified.
The reason I love & appreciate this movie still at the age of 18 is because the movie doesn’t attempt to sugar coat or make the story of Moses cheesy
Did they still have to cut a lot of stuff out? Yes of course, the old testament is bloody & scary as hell but I appreciate how they didn’t sugarcoat the slaughter of the newborn Hebrew boys nor the smiting of the first born. This movie could never get away with coming out today without being called offensive or too scary for children. I showed this movie to my parents recently & even they enjoyed it

As a Christian I must say... this is the BEST Bible movie ever made... in fact, it’d consider it one of only like 4-5 bible movies that are actually good films period. This movie IS a masterpiece. The music is mesmerising, the animation is beautiful, and the acting is really solid. Shame it’s become forgotten.
Agreed. It's so well crafted. It's funny that this was inspired by The Ten Commandments because this is (in my opinion) both a better movie and a better adaptation of the original story.
@@pamdawkins13 No kidding, the classic Bible epics had some great music, but were *boring* movies. The actors all seemed to concerned with the 'dignity' of the project to actually *act.*
Prince of Egypt and The Passion are the two best done Bible movies ever, as far as I'm concerned.
@@brigidtheirish I've never seen the Passion, so I can't comment on that, but otherwise, I agree. Maybe I'd feel differently if I saw The Ten Commandments under different circumstances, but I have a hard time taking everyone seriously when there's a love triangle and a love square going on in the background. (Though I have to admit, I'm impressed they managed to keep all the plot lines straight.) Anyway, the point is, Prince of Egypt is amazing, and I'm so glad I grew up with it. It's impossible for me to listen to the soundtrack without feeling the urge to burst into song like a Broadway character.
As an atheist I also must say... this is the BEST Bible movie ever made. :-)
@@pamdawkins13 I highly recommend seeing it. Though be forewarned, all the dialog is in Latin, Aramaic, and Hebrew, so being able to read subtitles is a must.
And, yeah, the old Bible epics in general are kinda hard to sit through.
I'm surprised the visuals weren't mentioned as often. They were absolutely incredible
Especially the hand drawn animation the CGI hasn't quite aged very well but thats understandable considering it was still the 90s and they used outdated sgi software
The way the animators mixed CGI and traditional animation made the movie visually stunning and it never fails to amaze me.
Haha yeah I thought this movie cane out in 2010 not 1998!
The sea bro. THE SEA!!!
I feel like it's because it's so obviously great and Josh wanted to do a deeper reading that might otherwise go unnoticed. Like, when you think of The Prince of Egypt, the first thing you think of is how gorgeous it is, and he wanted to draw attention to its other, equally exceptional qualities.
I re-watch this movie every year at Pesach, and it hits me hard each time. A beautiful film, a marvelous adaptation of the Exodus, and still deeply meaningful to me as a Jew. It deserves infinite praise. Thanks for telling more people about it!
I get goosebumps when he throws away his sandals as soon as he realizes who he is standing before. I've felt the same crushing humility a few times in my life and it's a beautiful combination of fear and awe mixed with love and peace. It's amazing that they were able to capture this feeling in animation.
Can someone provide a time stamp for this pls
"Through Heaven's eyes" is an absolute bop.
The soundtrack is so gooooooood in general.
Listen to the Plagues track again. It's lit.
The bit where they all start singing "Lai lai lai" honestly gets me moving every time. It's difficult NOT to dance to. Makes me wish we had public group dances like that still, it really captures the joyous feeling of doing something together, much like my experiences with being a part of bands or choirs.
GrayFoxxG
What is the difference between a bop and a jam?
Hence why it's a stage musical by Stephen Schwartz now
Listen to Deliver Us in Hebrew, I think it’s better in Hebrew than English.
I really wish dreamworks still had the balls to make great movies like they did back then
@@kuwandak it wasn't bad as it certainly had some great moments, but it was a step down from the Prince of Egypt
@@kuwandak i thought that was disney? didn't they do a similar one to this on Joseph??
Well the movies they worked hard on before Shrek weren’t successful and why would they work hard on projects if they aren’t going to be successful, in the 2010s when all tryed different things weren’t such great hitters despite being great movies includes Megamind, Rise of Guardians, Turbo, Penguins of Madagascar etc
I still think DreamWorks does better movies than Disney. Don't get me wrong, I still like Disney, but really only for the older movies and the live action ones such as Cinderella.
Cant do, too many crybaby today.
