you should react to these singers group i highly recommend it VOCTAVE - Prince of Egypt Medley
beautifully done
Recommend watching Joseph next as it is a prequel to this movie. Then Road to El Dorado great soundtrack they got Elton John, design, characters and humor. Sinbad is a must watch fabulous movie has Brad Pitt and the brother of Ramses in this movie voices one of the character and has Catherine Zeta-Jones. Oh and the voice actress for Tzipporah in this film, Michelle Pfeiffer voices a character in it as well.
WATCH KRONKS NEW GROOVE ITS AMAZING
You need to watch the Bible Series and Genesis paradise lost. They are so good to watch and it shows the power of God and this Kind Ness.
Fun fact each of plagues attacks specific Egyptian gods. Ment to show Yahweh's divinity compared to the idols of their gods
Fun fact: The woman who played Moses' mother was actually a famous Israeli singer, and she sang her part for multiple languages, including Hebrew.
Ofra Haza.
Did she does it for the french version ?
Not only that, but when she was introduced to the staff working on the movie they thought she looked so beautiful that they drew Yocheved, Moses mother, to look like her. And like you said, she sang in multiple languages, it varies depending on which source you go to, but it was somewhere around 17 to 18 which included French, German, Finnish, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Hebrew and more. Really talented woman. Rest in piece.
She also died in 2000 due to AIDS.
RIP.

A lot of people dont notice but when Ramses was sitting on the statue and Moses was sewing the bag for the prank, Moses was humming his mothers lullaby. So throughout his whole life he had the song stuck in his head
I didn't notice before but I suppose we don't forget this little things
Bonus: Ramses is sitting on the statue of his father's lap.
I never noted that but that's brilliant
Wow! I've never noticed that and I love this movie. The scene where his sister sings makes more sense now, since it's obvious he remembered the melody but didn't know from where.
@@Shaesi. yes and she looks like their mother when she has her hair free hiding her face
Fun fact: in the Bible, Moses was horrible at public speaking, so while he was sending the plagues, his brother Aaron was the one negotiating to have the slaves freed
Woah, I actually didn’t know that!
Moses reportedly stuttered, even.
The magic staff was also Aaron's.
Yeah the one thing I don’t like about this movie is they did Aaron DIRTY.
@@writingcooper7900 He has character growth, though. From rolling onto his back for Egyptians and being the symbol of Hebrew distrust in Moses, to being his most loyal and trusting follower.
Fun fact: God's lines in this film are the actor's voice of Moses speaking and over his voice, each main actor whispered each line
And played Batman as well. The voice actress for Tzipporah his wife played Catwoman.
Val Kilmer is the VA
That’s a lot to read into. God is inside all of us
It was a reference to the 10 commandments, Charleton Heston did the same thing
Val Kilmer killed it . pray God restore his voice back
Not even Disney has done something like this. This isn't just a animated masterpiece, but a film masterpiece overall.
Fun fact originally the creator of this movie worked for Disney and originally it was supposed to be out as a Disney movie. But instead he left and started Dreamworks and this is why this is the first Dreamworks movie.
@@WoyBoy12 Antz was their first movie
@@bingus2241 antz was the first released movie 2 months before prince of Egypt. POE was in development years before Antz…like ten years
huntchback of notre dame is good tho, got me spasming
Shame that Disney has never thought about making an animated movie based on The Bible because they just loving Fairy Tales more then telling a religious story.
32:45
Fun fact (well actually not so fun):
There’s a reason that every time an Angel appears in the Bible (or Torah), the Angel has to tell humans “do not be afraid.”
In spite of what popular culture may have you believe, Angels were not simply winged people in white robes with halos over their heads. The formless mist of light that we see in this movie is much more accurate to what angels were actually supposed to look like. They were eldritch, horrifying creatures, at least to us humans. This one in particular, as we see in the movie, is none other than the Angel of Death.
Read Revelation 4:6-8. Those are most likely cherubims. :0
In Revelations, several are described as four beings with six wings, covered completely with eyes, three in the shapes of animals and one in the shape of Man.
@@Deconstruction_Administrator Yep, that's a Cherub. 1 set of wings to fly, 1 set to cover the body, and 1 set to cover the 4 ever-changing faces that rotate between a man, a lion, an eagle, and an ox. Cherubim are bloody terrifying lol
@@chubbybunny6975 My favorite caste of angels in the weirdness department have to be the Ophanim, they just chose _W H E E L_ lmao
@@Deconstruction_Administrator And then there's the wheels covered in eyes, with eyes between the eyes, that move in all directions simultaneously.
I don’t even like musicals that much, but this movie is damn near perfect with its music, story, animation, and acting.
****. I agree and I am sure they all do too.
This is because the music pushes the story forward. It provides exposition to the story and fills in any gaps in the narrative. That’s why you’re a fan.
“Deliver us” is definitely one of the best openings of a movie or show ever
And the ending "Deliver us". Wow!
I really love this movie. when Ramses realises Moises was "his enemy", you can watch how his face goes: Sadness, Pain, Deception, Resolution, Anger, Fury
It just makes me want to cry.
I love how even though they are enemies you can still see the brotherly love come through and how hard it is for both of them to be doing what they are doing - especially on Moses’ part
The animation of the expressions are just incredible.
*Moses
Rameses' heart had been hardened.
@@rebeccamichael626 i speak Spanish. My keyboard phone was in Spanish. My bad
"At first, he couldn't even grow a beard!"
It's not that he couldn't grow one. So hair in ancient Egyptian culture is a really interesting thing. It was a symbol of your status, and important men in Egyptian culture shaved their heads and beards and wore wigs made out of other people's hair as a symbol of their complete authority over them. The women wore wigs too, but they had their own hair underneath.
The style of the hair tells everyone who looks at you what your station in life is. In the beginning of the movie, Rameses is wearing what Egyptologists call "The sidelock of youth," which would have been his own hair, but that style is depicted EXCLUSIVELY on royal children. So it's interesting too that he still wears it when he's older (but before he becomes Pharaoh), and it says A LOT about how his father views him that he still wears his hair like that at that age.
As I recall, body hair was also considered 'unclean' to Egyptians. Probably makes sense in a time and place where lice would be a problem.
Wow, this was so interesting. They really did their research when depicting this era of egypt. Astounding details
This is DreamWorks masterpiece. Nothing compares. And even atheists like the movie.
My family has held no part in religion for almost a decade but this remains one of our favorite animated movies ever.
What I like is that even though it's a story from religious backgrounds this version of it is very relatable in bringing out humanity, real emotions, wonderful songs that speak to us and are profound, and some of the best animation of all time. It never once says "join our church" but just tells the story in the best way possible for everyone =) Also, I loved how they humanized Ramses and made his side and position he's under understandable as to why he refuses to listen to Moses.
@@chanyeolsass5201 Religion brings a lot of turmoil but, to say there's not lessons and morals to be learned within these stories and they hold no purpose is just hogwash
Well, to me it is religious, but it's more based on brotherhood that doesn't really want to break up (which makes it beautiful).
Can confirm. It's friggin' awesome. I sat through this whole thing going: "Oh yeah, now there's THIS awesome sequence coming up."
I love this film because it transcends religion. You don’t have to believe in order to appreciate it. Plus Hans Zimmer (same guy who composed score for Gladiator) is brilliant. ⭐️
But if you are religious by any degree, then this movie really does a good job portraying the story of Moses.
@@theawesomeman9821 Yeah one of the best Bible- based movies for sure! (speaking as a Christian)
When you have the man who made the perfect music of The Lion King/Gladiator and the man who wrote the profound words of The Hunchback of Notre Dame you get a masterpiece soundtrack =) I listen to it still even today.
Speaking as an atheist, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. A wonderful retelling of one Abrahamic Mythology’s most iconic stories.
A true masterpiece.
@@thefvguy5648 Same exact opinion, well said
Moses was named by Pharaoh's daughter. His was given that name because Moses literally means," to pull out/draw out of water."
Yes! Lots of people don’t know this, Moses is the English and his Hebrew name was Moshe.
But Moses is also Egyptian for “son of” like “Ramses” could be intoned as “Ra-Moses” or son of Ra. So Moses could also be Egyptians naming him “son of” with nothing before that to imply he had no father, or was miraculous in some way.
I just noticed after years lmao, that Rameses son is directly at the center and bottom of the ocean as if he was a baby thrown by the the guards, sort of representing Rameses (the pharaoh) basically sending his son to die by not complying 32:05
Yes and the fact he points her finger like Sethi in the wall
Pharoah brought the death of his son on himself for being stubborn, refusing to listen.
@@kalahkirby5422 "Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said, Let my people go. If not I'll smite your firstborn dead, let my people go". That's a spiritual song but was originally sung by African-American slaves. And we saw the song come true in the Civil War.
@@agenttheater5 Never heard that song before, there was a song I learned about the 10 Commandments all I can remember is number 9, it said "A lie is like a boomerang, it'll come back and bonk your brain, so tell the truth, always tell the truth, don't be telling lies.
That was the Nile River.
It always tickled me in a particular way that Moses was voiced by Batman and Rameses was voiced by Voldemort
And Tzipporah is voiced by Tim Burton Catwoman. So that means we have a BatCat wedding!
Moses mom knew what she was doing. She sent him to the palace because she worked there and even nursed and raised him
Only the first few years. But she got to be a significant presence in his early life.
Never said she worked there, nor did she actually send him to the palace. Says she put him in the river and the daughter of pharaoh came out to the river. His sister Mariam was watching and walked over and asked if she should bring a wet nurse, as there were probably a whole plenty of women who had milk but no baby since their babies were killed. Only after that did the pharaoh’s daughter employed her and paid her to breastfeed the baby.
I believe the mother did not know the outcome at all, only wanted to give him a chance any way she could
@@tfeya777 I like it when Miriam bravely approached the Pharoah Seti's sister, Rameses's aunt, offering to bring a wet nurse, which the Bible doesn't say whether or not the Pharoah's daughter knew the woman who became Moses's nurse was Moses's birth mother, or not.
@@kalahkirby5422 Yeah, Miriam was a brave kid.
I love how much love the two brothers have even in disagreement. As cinema therapy states, the hate stems from their bond.
The song “the plague” does an excellent job of depicting the true theme if the story. Two brothers pitted against each other are separated by pride. All Ramses had to do was let go of his ego and create a bridge but he spent his whole life failing to impress his father, he could not let that go.
It still killed me that parents had to lose their first kids, sons in the way they did. The slaves were treated horribly, but children are innocent and cannot comprehend what the adults are doing. The mistreatment of the slaves including them being killed as babies and the kids dying right next to the parents killed me equally.
I also loved CT’s video on this!
@@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201 their perspectives are great. They have a mix of everything.
Compared to what happened to the Hebrew babies, it was pretty painless and quick. Plus, God really didn’t want to do it. Watch Moses’ eyes, he knows what will occur if Rameses refuses again. God gave Rameses plenty of chances. Moses was right in saying Rameses brought it on himself.
@@Powerranger-le4up - Not to mention the fact that Rameses unknowingly picked the last plague. He said he was going to kill the Israelites again, so God killed all the first born Egyptians.
Yes. It is tragic, the consequences poor leadership can have upon one's own people. Particularly when that leadership leads its people astray. But two comforts can be taken:
1. The manner in which they passed was the most peaceful anyone can go. To have their life force gently drawn out of their body while asleep, by the God who first created them.
2. The firstborn children of Egypt were too young to be responsible for their sins. So they would be allowed to join God in paradise following the Passover.
"They were only slaves" freezes to the core, no other movie I've seen has had me so horrified in a matter of seconds.
The utter disregard for life is so chilling.
Patrick Stewart’s deep voice also amplified how chilling that line is…
Man, this film is a real gem…No, it’s diamond! I’ve seen a few film adaptations to the Exodus story but in my opinion, The Prince of Egypt is by far my favorite. I like how this film focuses on the delicate relationship of Moses and Rameses, and how strong the message is. I wish I got the chance to experience this film in cinemas. The animation, the story, and the soundtrack (songs and score) are truly amazing!
Yeah I wish I could have seen this in Cinema (or as we say here in Australia , the movies) as well , but at least we can still enjoy it on DVD and such.
I saw it in the theater when it came out. Everyone was awestruck and teary. And of course, we immediately wanted the soundtrack!
@@estills4768 Must’ve been quite an experience for you.🙂
@SpacialRend7 I did as a child in the movie theaters back in 98’ and this movie has never left my mind since then. The music still brings me to tears lol happy tears it’s so beautiful to me 🥰
It's not the most biblically accurate retelling of Exodus but it's one of my favorites
I’m not religious at all, and I think this and Joseph King of Dreams are amazing movies handling a subject that often is seen but polarizing and sensitive. A celebration of masterful animation and storytelling.
Thanks to this movie, I knew the story of Moses before studying it at school
I think the main reason why it's amazing is because at it's heart, it's not telling you to become christian or believe in jesus or the christian god. It's main themes are about legacy, self-worth, humility, and a few others that aren't exactly christiana ideas, but universal ones that can apply to anyone from any walk of life.
@@RaixsOreh
Thank you!
Spitting straight facts here.
Joseph was a step down; but TPOE left a very high bar to follow.
And it shouldn't matter if you are or not, this is still an amazing story, whether or not the story is true, it's lesson, at least, is real.
fun fact: The song "Through Heavens Eyes" has been done in concert a few times. every December the Mormon Tabernacle Choir does a Christmas Concert and "Through Heaven's Eyes" is always on the set list. They even have the original singer lead the choir.
The singing voice of Jethro is Brian Stokes Mitchell, big time baritone on Broadway. He performed this with the choir when he did the Christmas concert in 2008 and he also did a couple other concerts with choir and orchestra. He also hosted the special that was done in place of the concert due to Covid. 20 Years of Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir.
@@greencello599 I SAW HIM! He did the Star Spangled Banner at a family friends funeral!
Through Heaven's Eyes has always been my favorite song from the movie, in my opinion it's way better than Hakuna Matata.
From a Jew's perspective, this movie as well as Joseph: King of Dreams will always hold a special place in my heart. I grew up moving around a lot, and as such, never had a stable congregation at a Shul (synagogue) for more than a couple years at a time. But these movies always accompanied me and they always held a dear place in my heart and in my faith. Wherever I went I could always find people who loved and adored these movies just as much as I did for almost all the same reasons I did- even if we weren't of the same faith. As someone who is tired of hearing about the fights and arguments between faiths and who is still a practicing Jew, I cannot express in words how amazing and wonderful it is to be able to communicate with people not of the same faith (and also people who are of the same faith) through a masterpiece of a movie. It doesn't matter that our faiths are different or our stories differ slightly- we all love and enjoy this movie as well as its prequel and instead of getting into arguments about where things differ or have changed, we can appreciate the beauty in the story and the characters as well as the music and visual. One of my favorite memories is sitting down with some of my Christian and Atheist friends to watch it on Passover (a tradition that has been in my family since it came out) when they came to celebrate it with us, and to be able to discuss with them the story and the themes- but also to be of help and translate the Hebrew and point out details that perhaps those not of the Jewish faith might have missed or dismissed. It is just an amazing movie and its prequel is equally as amazing (if unfortunately a little short) and I could go on and on about it!
So thank you for your reaction to it and I am so glad that you enjoyed watching it! Please keep going and stay safe and healthy! Wishing you well and a happy thanksgiving (and Hannukah [even if you don't celebrate it])!
I don’t celebrate Passover, but as a Catholic, I do celebrate Lent and Good Friday which is our version of Passover. When we receive the Eucharist, we eat the body and blood of the Lamb of God. We also have the 1st and 2nd books of Maccabees in our Bible which tells of the story of Hanukkah.
@@Powerranger-le4up I'm also Catholic and the church I went to growing up would have a special meal celebrating one of the Jewish holidays (I can't remember which one) as a reminder that our Lord is a Jew.
The Prince of Egypt traumatized me as a little kid. But when I rewatched it at age 14, it became one of my favorite animated films
Quick notes on the story of Moses:
-After 400 years of slavery, Moses is born
-Moses' timeline is better understood in three stages that each lasted 40 years
-First stage of Moses' life was growing up as "a prince of Egypt" which lasted for the first 40 years of his life
-Second stage would be when he leaves Egypt and lives with his new family, God speaks to him through the burning bush, the confrontation with the new Pharoh of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea, all before he was 80
-Third stage was him and the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years before "dying" and never seeing the promised land ("dying" is in quotation marks as his body was never buried nor found so there are reasons to believe that God took him, full-body and soul)
Wasn’t he only allowed to see but never set foot in the promised land?
@@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201 Huh, I didn't catch that when I first wrote it, but yes you are correct. He did see it from far off, just never stepped foot.
Plus, the Transfiguration of Jesus seems to support the theory of God taking Moses into heaven.
@@Powerranger-le4up Right. Moses (the founder of Biblical Judaism), Enoch (a mysterious ancient man a few generations descended from Adam) and Elijah (the most major prophet since Moses) appeared. Since Enoch and Elijah were both taken bodily into heaven, it might he that Moses was too.
@@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201 exactly
There's actually another 2D movie that they made called Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, also worth checking out!
Another amazing soundtrack!
The only film I still cry about
Apparently the parting of the sea took them TWO YEARS to animate, and the fact that most films take that long for the whole film just puts into perspective the hard work taken for this film
Being an ardent Catholic Christian myself, I watched this movie with my family the day before yesterday. My sister didn't want it at first, as she thought it would be a cheap, boring Biblical movie. By the end of the opening she was already crying her heart out at this masterpiece, along with all of us.
I'm amazed that I've seen your comment on like five different Prince of Egypt reaction
The prequel to this, Joseph King of Dreams, is pretty great as well
For a significant studio biblical animation, Prince of Egypt was the first such production from Dream Works. The next would be the direct to video spin-off prequel Joseph: King of Dreams starring the voice of Ben Affleck. Sony would release The Star to 10 million dollars. Artisan released Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie with characters from Big Idea’s Veggie Tales television computer-animated series. These are only small animated faith-based films released by major studios.
This is such a good movie. You don't have to be religious to appreciate it and it's values as we should all be against slavery and discrimination. This once again is one of the movies that I watched as a child that is hella dark and heavy looking back. Watching all the firstborns be killed hurt to watch as children are innocent but often are taught to discriminate and be hateful.
Though their deaths were pretty quick and painless compared to what happened to the Hebrew babies.
Great reaction! The animation and songs are really incredible in this movie.
The Road to El Dorado is really funny. I think you’d like it a lot.
Thinking about doing it!
Honestly of the other three, that’d be my 1st pick, too. It’s so fun & very rewatchable 😬
@@TimotheeReacts yes the road to El Dorado is really good too, I would do that one next
The Prince of Egypt blew my mind back in the day. The parting of the Red Sea still gives me goosebumps! Its one of my favorite Dreamworks movies and probably THE best animated bible film ever made. I still say the intro here is almost better than The Lion King. It pulls no punches. Its almost Shakespearean in how really dramatic it is. I'm not even that religious, but I absolutely adore this movie
God bless you
The Lion King opening feels like a typical 3-minute introduction song in a musical compared to Prince of Egypt and Hunchback of Notre Dame's. It's good and powerful in a way that it gives us a good introduction to the beauty of the wild. But the other 2 movies gave openings that intertwined with the storytelling, and it wove tragedy along with an introduction to deliver something powerful. They're like the Les Miserables opening.
One of the greatest movies ever. It's so human, majestic, beautiful and powerful.
The Prince of Egypt is a cinematic masterpiece. There are other animated stories, but they have all fallen short. They look like cheap Sunday school material...Joseph King of Dreams is one of them. Watch the trailers for Prince of Egypt and Joseph. The animation quality and songs are worlds apart.
Yeah. Joseph King of Dreams is good, but you aren't going to come close to matching Prince of Egypt in a direct to video movie.
The parting of the red sea took them two years to make look as good as it did.
And the majority of the budget went into it.
YES!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
One of my favorite movies of all time, being a Catholic, this movie had a big impact on me
absolutely great film for everybody!
Me too and I’m also Catholic.
In the real story the princess found Moses. They found his mother and she told them his name was Moses. She kept nursing him but they still never told who he really was to the public.
Still wanting a reaction to 1988 “The Land Before Time.” I mean, it’s Spielberg and Lucas!
You don't need to be religious to enjoy this film. The music, the animation, the acting/cast, the writing... it's all top notch and made with a lot of love. I watch the movie and/or listen to the music at least once a year to remind me of how much I was blown away the first time I saw it. Nothing quite compares to how many masters were behind this!
Both Sinbad and the Road to El Dorado are absolutely spectacular and The CG animation still holds up to this day. 👌 personally I never watched Joseph King of dreams but I’ve heard good things of it
It's very good- one of my personal favorites, second only to Prince of Egypt! It does just as well as transcending the Bible/Torah story like this one and focusing more on more universal themes. In my opinion, the movie focuses a lot on Joseph's character growth from a prideful and sheltered young man into the forgiving and understanding man later, as well as focuses on relationships and trust. I have to admit that growing up on these four movies was something I have never and will never regret!
Fun Fact
It took 2 years to animate the parting of the Red Sea, thays how long it takes to animate a full disney movie. Keep in mind this is all hand drawn. If that doesnt show love and passion for this amazing movie, nothing does.
Yes Hans Zimmer did the score (which is stunning), but you gotta give some hefty credit to Stephen Schwartz! He's a phenomenal Broadway composer and lyricist and he's the one who wrote the songs. He also worked with Alan Menken as his lyricist for the songs in Hunchback (you mentioned the similarities between the two, so that's probably PART of the reason for that). His songs w/ Zimmer's orchestrations are a match made in heaven lol.
Thank you! I love me some Hans Zimmer, but Stephen Schwartz not getting his due is not right. My understanding is he wrote all the songs and then Hans Zimmer supplemented in between the songs and used the tunes to flesh out the soundtrack.
The Road to El Dorado is my favorite! The cast alone was perfect casting. The voice of Miguel directed Thor. Glad to see you enjoying these movies. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this. Thank you for all you do! I know you’ll reach 50.000 soon. ❤️❤️
And Miguel was Professor Lockhart and directed soo much.
@@forestcatkay14 I really want to see his murder in the orient movie. He was also in wallander with Tom Hiddleston before Thor. Such a good show
No matter what your beliefs it’s really a great movie about hardships, perseverance, and inner conflict when your values come between you and your current way of life, or the people you love.
As a Catholic, this has a special place right in my heart and soul, it's just so good!
This and Daredevil are my favourite Christian media (though I enjoy Daredevil more just because he's just such a badass superhero!)
That’s right. He’s Catholic, yes?
@@fireblizard8366 Yup! Though he isn't the best at being one, at least he tries.
@@theshade6176 Dang now I'm even more interested in seeing Daredevil
@@antonbedoy7556 You should go check it out, it's a fantastic show! Almost everything about it was *chef's kiss*.
@@theshade6176 Yess! That's one of my favourite Marvel tv shows and just tv shows in general. (I'm also a follower of Jesus [a Christian])
Honestly, this movie is one of the greatest animated movies of all times. Whether or not the story of Exodus is true, this truly is a masterpiece.
The Bible doesn't specify Moses' relationship to the pharaoh...he's only ever referred to as the pharaoh. I don't know what the Torah says. But it would've most likely been his brother or his father, though it could've been a nephew he never met. But for the sake of the movie, a brother makes for the best story. Also, Rameses was a pharaoh, but most likely not this pharaoh.
The Prince of Egypt is one of my all time favorite films and it’s animation was ahead of its time and they even portrayed the Egyptians, Hebrew Israelites, and Medianites as what they actually looked like or close to they may have looked like. Moses wondered the desert for 40 years and when he returned to Egypt with his family it was actually him and Aaron who approached Pharaoh. If you notice where God turned the River to blood the part where Moses stands is still water.
It one of my favorite animated movies of all time. It is a masterpiece. I've seen it in theaters back in 98.
This movie is so underrated
One of the great things about this movie is how true to the biblical text it stays in most things. The older "The Ten Commandments" strays much further from the text, and tends to embellish or ignore important details, as does many other movies based on biblical stories.
Still, there are some differences:
Miriam (Moses' sister) didn't leave Moses after she saw he had arrived safely - she actually stepped forward and told the Egyptian princess that she could help find a wet nurse for the baby - his mother.
Since Moses had his own mother as a wet nurse, the idea that he didn't know his own heritage is silly. But it makes for good drama, so it is a forgivable embellishment.
When Moses killed a man, he wasn't a hot-headed teen. He was 40 years old, and the murder was described to be a planned act of revenge (for the cruel treatment of a Hebrew).
Moses didn't meet Zipporah (his wife) before he got to Midjan.
When Moses encountered the burning bush he was 80! He would have looked old, but still quite strong - he lived to be 120 after all.
Aaron ran to meet Moses on his way to Egypt. How he managed to slip away is not mentioned in the text, but he did so after having a vision from God.
Moses and Aaron met with the leaders of the Hebrews before heading to Pharaoh, and they went to talk to him together (Zipporah probably didn't follow them there, but some of the Hebrew leaders might have).
Aaron was the one doing most of the talking. Moses admits to having difficulty speaking, so God appointed Aaron to speak on Moses' behalf. In the time after leaving Egypt, Moses has quite a few speeches to his people without Aaron, so he probably got better at public speaking over the years.
Moses got told by God to do the next plague well in advance each time. For instance, he was told to turn the Nile into blood the night before he did that.
It's more of an omission in the movie, but the first 3 plagues hit all of Egypt, whereas the rest spared the area where the Hebrews lived.
The pillar of fire was there from the moment they left Egypt - it was a pillar of smoke by day, and a pillar of fire by night. It served as a beacon moving in front of the Hebrews to show everyone what way to go. When Pharaoh showed up, it jumped behind the camp and blocked the way.
Moses was not surprised when Pharaoh and his army showed up. God had told him this would happen, and actually led the Hebrews into a "dead end" to goad Pharaoh into making a stupid attack.
Pharaoh died with his army - the original text makes that very clear.
The Pharaoh is not named - but he was certainly not Rameses II, who lived much later. In fact, no Pharaoh is named in either Genesis or Exodus. (There was a Pharaoh who is known to have died by drowning - and he died around the time this story takes place, so make of that what you will)
I have also heard that it's likely Moses didn't have a brother, but the Pharoah was childless and they were probably praying to their gods for a son. One of their gods was the river god, so when Moses was 'brought by the river' they would've seen it as a sign rather than kling him because he was a Hebrew.
My favorite movie as a kid. Had the art book and the soundtrack.
Suggest Road to El Dorado, Joseph has nowhere near the same production and straight to DVD. It took them years to create Prince of Egypt. The parting of the sea alone took almost a year (correct me folks if I’m wrong).
"Hans Zimmer! I'm excited for that reason alone!"
*proceeds to yell a mile a minute over the beautiful opening music*
😂
I mean, I'm not religious in the slightest, but this film is indeed spectacular. Even setting aside the casting, animation and music, the philosophical notion of viewing your life in a broader context really comes through here.
I absolutely love this movie. I sing along to it everytime I watch. You should check out Sinbad next.
Interesting Fact: when the people took a lamb and marked the door with its blood, it’s a reference of what EVENTUALLY happened in the Bible.
Jesus Christ (the lamb of God), with his blood in the cross, marked us so could be justified, so we could be saved. It’s like a real-life Easter-Egg.
PS: The column fire that appeared was also real, it’s mentioned in Exodus.
has nothing to do with that. ישראלי יהודי.
@@osterreicher123Why not?, literally most of the Old-Testament prophesied the Messiah, and both are performed by the same God.
There were many parts in the Bible that explained what Jesus would do on the cross years later.
Before Jesus was born, they had to sacrifice a lamb for their sins (an innocent creature had to pay), but we don’t have to do that anymore because Jesus paid the ultimate price with his blood on the cross, that’s why he’s “The Lamb of God”.
And approximately 2,400 years before Christ, God already gave glimpses of His plan.
@@leom.r1107 the problem with such ideas is that those are specifically christian ideas linking older jewish ideas to their new theology and rituals in order to give them legitimacy and theological grounding. A christian adherent/scholar would more often than not agree but Jewish or Islamic adherents and scholars would dispute their validity.
It is not uncommon for schisms, offshoots, heresies or whatever other term you wish to use, to cite older ideas and doctrines from their parent faith within their new framework to convince members of the parent to convert to the child faith. This is possible because the 'glimpses' of the greater plan, the prophecies of a messiah, are sufficiently vague that any learned offshoot could skillfully use them in order to lend legitimacy to their cause.
@@captainslender12 The problem with your reasoning is that the Old Testament has over 100 distinct prophecies regarding Messiah, which would make it absolutely impossible for any man to fulfill unless he was the true Messiah. The odds that any pretender could even fulfill a percentage of these prophecies are more than one in a billion. Jesus fulfilled all of them.
It's very interesting when you think about it, it is stated that without the shedding of blood there is no removal of sin so every time a Hebrew/Jew sinned which is all the time because we are all people living in an imperfect world they had to kill a favorite/best animal and splash its blood upon the alter, and everyone in the community had to do it (think a LOT of blood) but that only covered the sin and did not remove it since everything was corrupted because of Adam and Eve, God knew this and eventually sent his son to be the perfect sacrifice untainted by this world to finally REMOVE all sin.
The moment where Moses says " Goodbye, brother " in the end is more powerful in the french version because in France we have two ways to say " Goodbye " :
" Au revoir " If we go and come back long time after and " Adieu " when we never come back
It's even better that Adieu comes from "à Dieu" (to God).
'Through heaven's eyes' is my favorite song from this movie and never fails to make my cry.
I love this movie so much . So nostalgic. I grew up in the Christian faith and this was constantly played in my household 😂I got sick of it but as I go older , I started to really appreciate this masterpiece ❤️
My parents took me to the theater when I was a kid. I remember there were hundreds of people in line by Christian and faith. They enjoy watching “The Prince of Egypt”
El Dorado is an AMAZING classic
The burning brush scene always gives me chills. It is one of my favorite non-musical scenes in the movie.
This is maybe my favorite animated movie of all time as it was so well done and the music is so powerful. When you mentioned the music reminds you of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" there is a very good reason. While Hans Zimmer wrote the score to it, Stephen Schwartz wrote most of the songs. He is responsible for many things including the musical Wicked and films for Disney such as "Pocahontas" and yes "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
Schwartz wrote the lyrics to Alan Menken's music for *Hunchback* and *Pocahontas.* For *Prince of Egypt* he wrote music and lyrics for all the songs. What Zimmer wrote is the underscoring and background music. This is not Schwartz's first faith-based musical, as he also wrote music and lyrics for *Godspell* (which became a movie in 1973), for the stage show *Children of Eden,* and contributed lyrics to Leonard Bernstein's concert-performance art piece *Mass.* He also wrote music and lyrics for a number of other stage shows including not only *Wicked,* but also *Pippin,* *The Magic Show,* *The Baker's Wife,* and *Working,* as well as lyrics to Charles Strouse's music for *Rags.*
The Prince Of Egypt Is 'MINE' Lion King, and it's one of the greatest films of all time even better then all the other Disney animated movies. Thank you DreamWorks for making Prince Of Egypt an masterpiece.
This film was well casted for the VA's: Val Kilmer, Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfiffer, Martin Short, Patrick Stewy, Jeff Gouldlum, and Steve Martin.
This movie is like The Lion King of Non-Disney Animation Studios. Truly a masterpiece.
Very true
The plagues' song and the visuals 🔥
This movie is a historical masterpiece. I especially love the campy opening of Moses and Ramses being reckless. I love how it seems funny and innocent because it fits in perfectly with Moses being oblivious to the severity of how they're treating the slaves. They abuse others for their own luxury and fun.
Also, watch El Dorado next. It's also a masterpiece but in a more comedic memey sense. Like Shrek.
I wonder why did they stop making these kinds of awesome masterpiece
They started to make 3D movies like Shrek, they did well and they were cheaper and faster to make
@@jaredf6205 Shrek was okay but not this 👌 good master level
I've loved this movie my entire life. Some of the shots and the effects in this movie really convey that they cared about this. They didn't have to frame some of the scenes the way they did but they chose to go above and beyond. I hope they remaster this one day in HD cause I need to own it!
Some things to note:
1. Moses was in Midian for a few decades. By the time he returned to Egypt, he had two full-grown sons.
2. Moses was, iirc, Levi's great-grandson, so their time in captivity wasn't too terribly long. A couple generations at most.
3. The mixed multitude that came out of Egypt, which included both Hebrews and Egyptians, was at least a couple million people.
4. That fish was definitely not a whale. You can see that the tail is moving side-to-side instead of up-and-down. Something that size? Probably a freaking megalodon.
A whale shark!
An absolute masterpiece! I still remember seeing this for the first time in the theatre when it came out. Twenty five years later and it still retains all of its power.
Enormously well-crafted.
Cool to film a biblical legend and come up with a plot and conflict among the main characters to it.
@@oliviarogers3559 no i don’t
Well said. They developed it really well. It would've been easy to focus on other aspects, but they were very smart about this.
Some stories would probably need more characters and plot to make a story into a movie (the telling of it is but a few verses but with so much packed in that could leave a lot to the imagination of what actually went down).
But Moses is already such a rich and such a packed story with so much content that they could have 100% stayed exactly according to biblical details and had plenty of of plot and conflict.
Just my thought.
The movie is still one of my most favorites ever.
I love all the meaning in the the staff/throne scene. And the priests' 'magic' is really just science
One tiny detail that I love about this movie is how both Ramses and Moses physically resemble their mothers.
Definitely highly recommend El Dorado and Sinbad! Never saw Joseph so dunno.
Def check out El Dorado, its a great film... Sinbad is quite fun too
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! If you want a more in depth look at Moses, try watching “The Ten Commandments” from 1956… it is a visual stunner!
It also has a much more complex script, and features stellar performances by an incredible cast of Hollywood legends.
Sad fact: Because Stephen Schwartz stated that he wanted to work on the music for this film after he said he signed on to do the music for Disney's "Mulan," the Disney president wanted him to choose them or their competitor. I'll always wonder what his version or "Mulan" would've been like (not sure about his song "China Doll," though)...
If I recall correctly from my Old Testament Survey class, each of the plagues were a challenge against the Egyptian gods. Turning the Nile into blood? The Egyptians held the Nile as a deity (again if I remember correctly).
Thanks, Timothee! 🌴🐫🌊
This film is hard to watch, but worth it!🍿🎟️Thanks Timothee!!!💯🌟
Funn fact: in the scene when they're singing "Playing with the Big Boys", the priests call upon every single Egyptian god and goddess except Isis, goddess of Magic, while performing "magic"
37:40 Moses comes down the mountain with three stone tablets. "I bring you the fifteen..." One of them slips through his fingers and cracks on the ground. "...ten! Ten commandmends!"
Amazing, iconic, classic, beautiful! ❤️
Every time I watch the "death of the first born" I always get shivers and goosebumps.
While there are probably a few animated films centered around Bible stuff (many of them tied to VeggieTales), there's also a musical I'd highly recommend you listen to called Children of Eden. The music is by Stephen Schwartz (who also did the music for Prince of Egypt) and it goes through both the stories of Adam and Eve (act 1) as well as Noah's Ark (act 2).
Well worth hearing and seeing if you get the chance. I also like Bock and Harnick's take on Adam and Eve in *The Apple Tree,* and Richard Rodgers and Martin Charnin's version of "Noah's Ark," called *Two by Two.*
This is the untold story of Captain Jean Luc Picard who had to control Voldemort and Batman as children. But seriously I love this movie so much. I recommend if you have not watched it, you watch the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston. You'll see why...
5:13 yes she was. He was named as such because he was drawn out of the water.
The pillar of fire is in the Bible. 🔥
"Were they killing all of the firstborn of the slaves?"
All the boys.
When Dreamworks were still producing quality aesthetically pleasing motion pictures. Yes.
EDIT: Effing Rameses is voiced by Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort)
The road to Eldorado is really good!
I am not religious but I love this movie.
The Prince of Egypt will always be my childhood Favorite True story movie ever made
When I Hearing 'Deliver Us' Song, It Always Reminds Me About My Country(South Korea)'s Dark History Part Called 'Japanese Occupation of Korea'.
One of history’s best films. I’ve grown up with this movie for _all of my 22 years,_ and I still got tears and chills watching it again with you.
My personal favorite non-Disney animated film. When You Believe was a song that help me through my teen years and am glad it won the Oscar in 1999 for best song. =)
Dude, I just realized. At the beginning, Moses tells Rameses that he cares too much, and Rameses tells Moses he doesn't care at all.
And later on, the reverse is true.
