Hans Zimmer absolutely deserved an Oscar for this soundtrack. I listened the album like a thousand times.
Me too
Agreed. To this day, whenever the question "who played God best?" comes up, Hans Zimmer is my answer.
Don't forget Stephen Schwartz. Hans Zimmer wouldn't have had anything to score with Stephen Schwartz's songs
Aren't Oscars for acting?
Same here dude
As a Christian who has been watching this channel for a year or so, I'm happy to see Holden showing Jen Prince of Egypt. I'm not a big fan of musicals, but the songs in Prince of Egypt make me tear up when I hear them because I'm so tenderhearted. And I recommend watching I Can Only Imagine, it is my favorite Christian movie, and it makes me cry every time I watch it.
The first 3 words of your comment already tells me how should I feel about you.
@@Jovan838 I know it's the popular viewpoint nowadays, but discounting someone based solely on their religious affiliation is still bigotry.
@@HoldenHardmanWell said! 🙌🏽
I thought it was a Jewish movie to combat against Christmas cause it was released in December.
@@HoldenHardman Well they didn't specifically say how they felt, but it's a fair assumption I suppose.
I don’t think I ever clicked so quick on one of your videos. I absolutely love this movie and I think it’s truly a timeless classic. The animation is beautiful, the message is eternal and the cast is STACKED !!!
STACKED!
Holden, please do lilo and stitch 1 ❤️
@@HoldenHardman Holden this channel is the best quick question have you ever seen Akira or Ghost in the shell ? Also the editing on the channel 🤯
Would you please react to Manchester by the sea :)
Also the cinematography. This animated movie is "shot" like it's live action.
This movie is nothing less than an achievement. From the music to the visuals, it's just an all-around masterpiece that I never tire of.
The VA for Moses' mom, Israeli singer Ofra Haza, sang her part in "Deliver Us" in Brazilian Portuguese, Castillian Spanish, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Latin American Spanish, Lusitanian Portuguese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, and Slovak.
And the animators were so impressed by Ofra that they drew Yocheved to look like her!
You should watch the video of her singing Yereshalaim Shel Zhahav (Jerusalem Of Gold). Hauntingly beautiful.
@benschultz1784 : Italian too :)
So that's why I never could understand her when watching it in Spanish!
She was Yemeni Jewish singer who represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest as well.
The Prince of Egypt is hands down, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest animated movie ever made.
I agree.
Studio Ghibli is famous for films that look like paintings in motion, but this story pushes it over into first place.
I love the fact that the took the liberty to show them as brothers, the bible actually doesn't really talk about their relationship and I love the fact that they showed Moses crying after Ramses son passed away because that was essentially his nephew in another life
Me too
@nathancruz9172 that and I'm sure in some ways he feels somewhat responsible
My favourite interesting fact about the Prince of Egypt that only further proves how much of a masterpiece it truly is that the voice actress of Moses' mother Yocheved (Jochebed), Ofra Haza, not only sang her part for the English and Hebrew versions of the film in "Deliver Us", but also in 15 additional foreign languages! For the languages she didn't speak, she sung phonetically.
Such an amazing film, I'm extremely happy to see Jen experience this cinematic wonder for the first time
It’s one of the very few Non Disney animated movies that was successful. animated movies that weren’t by Disney usually fly under the radar
No man! Never feel bad for being excited to show your wife one of your favourite films!! Seeing your passion is why I love your channel!
For God's voice I heard they combined all the actors voices together to give God an otherworldly but familiar sounding voice.
It makes sense that they would do this effect with blending many voices together. After all, when the Apostle John beheld King Jesus in all His glory in the book of Revelation, the voice of Jesus was described by John "as the sound of many waters" (Revelation 1:15).
My grandfather worked on it as a theological advisory member. I always remember thinking it was cool to hear the lengths the production went to, to get not only the historical accuracy but the Biblical in some of the detail as well.
The way Boston looks to the heavens after you sing "deliver us" at 14:19 is incredible.
I said the same thing Lol 😂. Too cute 🙏🏾
I didn't expect Jen to give it what she gave it, but when I look back through the video with hindsight, she seems so LOCKED IN, it makes sense. What a fantastic film.
I’m Muslim, and this movie is in my Top 10 favourite movies of all time! The soundtrack, the animations and the voice acting were all phenomenal!
Wonderful to hear, brother. Ive spent a good amount of time over the last 30 years trying to help remind my Muslim acquaintances that they are supposed to deeply revere Musa and Isa, and never forget that Jews and Christians are People of the Book. Argue al you want to about many other things, but if you forget THAT and become filled with Hate, etc, you hardly live up to the Merciful and Compassionate example of Allah. INshallah, those of us who remember this critical detail will Never stop trying to sop the hate and violence. ALhamdulillah and Salaam Alaikum, my friend.
how do you feel about the fact that every muslim country has banned this film?
@@greatman5885 Sorry, I don’t really tend to talk about these things, and for a Muslim, my Islamic knowledge isn’t that explicit. Also, I wasn’t aware of that, I don’t really spend much time on social media.
But I do know that Islam accepts getting to know about different cultures, so long as they don’t influence our beliefs
@@DeLion_1612the obvious example that that's not true is the Banning of this animated film. The Banning of the bible. The killing of jews. The killing of Christians. Within all of those countries
@@greatman5885 its unfortunate but understandable since islam prohibits the depiction of the prophets out of respect and also so that people dont start worshipping thme and making them their idols and statues.
I'm a Baptist and I grew up with this film. When I think of the Exodus, this film is what comes to mind. It's a great example of in films, less can be more.
Watched this with my daughter earlier last year & she was enthralled the whole time watching it. I was singing all the songs like a geek. It was also interesting to see that children have a natural empathy because my daughter really felt for the slaves, Moses & even Rameses.
Ramses is a great character in this. He exemplifies how people who are raised a certain way are molded by their surrounding, and can't see the error of their ways. He couldn't see the dissonance of believing the Hebrews weren't people but still loving his brother, even after knowing he was a Hebrew. It just didn't compute for him that those two things couldn't both be true.
I’m so happy you showed her and that she enjoyed it. It’s great too that she felt empathy for them all because God also felt the same, had Rameses let the Hebrews go, the Egyptians wouldn’t have been smited. Even in the end, God lifted Rameses to the rock after the waves, sparing his life
The way Moses collapses to the ground, sobbing and shaking, it *gets* me every time 😭
Same here, I’m so glad they added that to it
I’m not religious but I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid. The animation is absolutely stunning, the voice cast is incredible and the songs are some of the most sweeping, epic songs I’ve ever heard in my life. The singing in Deliver Us gives me chills every time and I usually tear up too. I agree, it’s the most perfect animated film of all time. The scale of this movie is huge, when someone says a movie is an epic I think of this movie (I also teared up a bit when you said you sing these songs to Hero, that’s so beautiful 🥹)
You don't have to be religious to appreciate a good story.
@@wolfkniteXbut in order to understand a story in this case is a true one has to be understood in a way by the Bible/Gods word the biblical point of view because it gives the reasons in context why this was happening
I'm a Buddhist and this is still one of my favorite animated movies ever. It a masterpiece of visual storytelling.
@@wolfkniteXyup because this is what happens when you don’t push any modern agenda into art.
Ugh "I'm not religious but" comments🙄 nobody cares if your religious or not, just give your thoughts about the movie!🤷🏾♂️ lol
When I revisited this movie as an adult it was FAR better than I remembered, mostly the music but my own Christian faith certainly didn't hurt.
Yessss just watched it again yesterday and it just filled my souls so much. It was a a form of worship!
a 10 from Jen? let’s go!! and i totally agree, Holden, perfect animated film. incredibly moving soundtrack. just fantastic.
I am 99% sure it was unintentional, but that final "Deliver Us" at 29:54 hit me so hard as a Christian and someone who knows what happens as Moses comes down the mountain to find Israel turning from God and worshiping the golden calf.
It speaks to that while they may have come out of Egypt they are still enslaved to sin and torn from God so their hearts still cry for deliverance, which God fulfills for all mankind with the coming of Jesus.
Stop trying to take Jewish stories and warp them to fit your Christo-centric viewpoint. It's gross.
@@judeancupcake7553 Christianity was founded by a Jew, taught to, preached by, and spread by Jews. Just what exactly makes it "mine" that is so gross to you?
@@SamLoser2 and by embracing those new principles, they separated themselves from the Jewish community and became apostates. For you to take distinctly Jewish stories and warp them into fitting your Christo-centric interpretation is deeply offensive and appropriative. Christians are not Jews. You are not "grafted". Our stories and customs are not the same. If you would never attend an indigenous powwow and then go home and incorporate the rituals you saw into your own practices, you shouldn't do it to us. We're an ethnoreligion, and Christians tend to only focus on the religion part of that rather than bother to understand the ethno part. Not that Christians generally see past their own sense of entitlement.
"enslaved to sin" - you don't even have a fundamental understanding of the Jewish perception of sin to begin with, and then for you to apply your universalist, colonizing, culture destroying religion to it is just the height of arrogance (but also unsurprising).
@@judeancupcake7553 You throw "universalist" and "culture destroying" as venomous and hatful insults, yet don't you believe your God to be universal? Did He not "destroy" the culture of the Egyptians by tearing down their false gods? Don't you believe in an objective truth that we should all conform to, or do you believe in some sort of ethnic relativism where our gods and stories can only come from our own ancestors? I'm not Jewish, so your God or beliefs can never apply to me? If our frameworks differ that much, I don't think we'll ever be able to hear each other.
But speaking from my belief in an objective, universal God and Truth, no, I'd never attend an indigenous powwow. Not because of some sort of weird respect of how their genetic code differs from my own, but because I do not believe it to be the truth. I have a good many historical, philosophical, and theological reasons that I believe Jesus's resurrection is a true fact; something that only heightens my respect for the Jewish people as they are the ones God chose to bring the Messiah into the world, fulfilling His promise to Abraham that "all peoples on earth will be blessed through you".
If you are unaware of those reasons or merely find them unconvincing I am in no position to convince you, but there is no reason to interrupt my honest conscious-derived beliefs as some personal attack upon you or your people. Frankly I can't understand why you started this conversation with such venom and contempt for me.
I'm not religious at all but I would agree with you that this is the best animated movie ever. Whenever I'm sick and stuck in bed I put it on and I always feel better. It's literally healing.
Ugh it's irrelevant whether your religious or not!! Just comment your thoughts about the film!🤷🏾♂️
@@iamBlackGambit ugh they literally said in the video about how they thought the video/film might be perceived differently to people who aren't religious. I'm literally just responding to the video and things that were said in it, which actually do make it relevant.
I'm not very religious, but I absolutely loved this movie growing up (and still do). Excited to see Jen's reaction - it's such a masterpiece!!
To me this is the most emotional movie of my childhood. It was the first and the only movie my father took me too see in the cinema, I was ten at that time and it immediately became my favourite animated movie. I watch this movie every Christmas. My father passed away this summer. When I rewatched the movie this Christmas, I cried. It's become more difficult to me to watch all the firstborn sons' lives being taken away and I wept a lot. "The story is forever."
Doggo watching along seemingly just as invested in the film is peak YT for me 😂💀😭❤️
The parting of the sea scene is still one of the best scenes in American animation I've ever seen till this day, 25 years later!
Prince of Egypt got a musical play some years ago. I attended the European premiere of it in Denmark and was blown away by how much a theatrical stage amps up the musical numbers. And to top of the ending, as Moses splits the red sea, the actor playing him literally split the theatre down the middle, by clever use of hydraulics xD It was a fantastic experience I would love to have again.
6 years ago
I'm suprised this hasn't happened sooner lol. This is in my top 5 of my favorite movies of all time just like with Holden. I'm not religious anymore but funnily enough my first time seeing this movie was in Sunday school as a kid at the Catholic church my grandparents went to. I feel in love with it and watched it multiple times since.
It probably should have. We did it for My Friend Watches a while back, but glad Jen's getting to watch it now!
I’m glad she got to watch it. One of the rare cases where the stars align making a film:
Great Story
Great Vocal Performances
Great Animation
I still shudder at how both beautiful and terrifying the Red Sea animation looks, and to think that’s animation from 25 years ago.
This film soundtrack is unmatched! The Whitney Houston / Marich Carey "when you believe" is ICONIC.
Strangely enough I don’t recall ever seeing this movie. At a young age I’ve watched the Ten Commandments multiple times but never the animated take. I’ll have to watch the full thing and share with the fam!
The Westend theater company, where they put on musicals in England, just performed the live action adaptation that's available in Broadway HD (through Prime). I encourage yall to check that version out and see if yall like it
This movie was my mom's favorite telling of Exodus. It showed Rameses and Moses having an actual brother relationship and it involved Zipporah in a more active role in the task Moses had in liberating the Israelites. As mentioned by others, there is a stage musical of this movie now. One of the places it premiered in the United States was Tuachan, an outdoor theater not far from St. George, Utah. The backdrop of the theater is the natural stone the theater is built into. The voice of Moses was Val Kilmer, Iceman from Top Gun and Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Sadly, he doesn't do much talking anymore due to throat cancer.
The singing voice of Jethro is Brian Stokes Mitchell. A huge Broadway star who is considered Broadway's last leading man.
As an Indian American who grew up in a Hindu household and am now agnostic as an adult, I agree with you that Prince of Egypt is the best animated film I've ever seen with the best soundtrack!
It had been years since I had seen this movie when I popped it into the DVD player in the car for the kids to watch. The moment the first song started playing it hit an emotional cord with me and I literally had to pull over because I was crying so much! My kids were like mom? Are you crying?
Great reaction, I enjoyed it so much! I was glad she gave it a ten!
I'm not really into animated movies, but I've always loved this rendition of the Exodus story. Relistened the soundtrack in my car today, after watching your video last night. Might have been 20 years since I last heard it, but could still sing along to most parts. Love it! Think I'll also rewatch the movie later this week when I get the chance.
And, great reaction guys! Love and blessings from Kampen, The Netherlands!
Hold on, your a Christian??? Just kidding. I as an Atheist have on occasion commented that you are my favorite Christian because of your content. And despite being an Atheist and the religious aspect of this movie, I would not disagree that it is an amazing movie. Well ahead of it's time. Probably one of my favorite animated movies of today. I just don't think any of it actually happened. However even just by a mythology stand point this movie is amazing.
YES! Prince of Egypt, Joseph Coat of Dreams, and Spirit stallion of the cimmeron are my favorite dreamworks animated films
(closely followed by how to train your dragon of course!)
King*
Weird auto complete Lol. I gotta admit, I grew up loving these DreamWorks flicks, Spirit, Prince of Egypt, Road to El Dorado... But I thought Joseph King of Dreams looked cheap as f*ck. I haven't seen it to this day. Even as a kid I was a snob about animation quality. :P
@@Light-Rock97I know what you mean. While I love the movie there does seem to be a change in quality. Most “sequels” of animation around that time period always felt more “straight-to-dvd” than the first. It’s hard to explain. King of dreams just lacked in all the areas prince of Egypt succeeded. IMO of course
@@jayjitsuu Since you did see it, do you think it's worth it for the story? I noped out because of the animation, so I wasn't able to assess the story.
@@Light-Rock97 Ill say yes. The story is great. The movie itself just feels a bit more “campy”in regards to the animation and music. Still worth a watch imo tho.
You have shown Jen a perfect movie. So proud!
I always chuckle at the end as Moses is going down the mountain with the tablets knowing what he's gonna find.
The parting of the Red Sea.... *Damn*
There's a reason it went to the West End last summer
Regardless of the message and the story, I think EVERYONE should give this movie a show at least once because the soundtrack and visuals especially for that time are simply breathtaking.
I have a religious background but I'm no longer a very religious person and I always enjoy the heck out of this movie. I also listen to the soundtrack to this day because it's a masterpiece. I know atheists that absolutely love this movie because you don't need to believe to appreciate the storytelling, the work and the heart that was put into this movie. The fact that they focused so much on the relationship between Ramses and Moses just make the story even more compelling than it already was. That being said, if you spent the majority of your childhood in Sunday school like i did, this movie is the holy grail of religious entertainment. Lol
If I'm not mistaken it is Val Kilmer as the main voice and then they had the entire cast say the lines as well. So God's voice is the voice all the people. And I think that's such a masterful and tasteful way of doing it.
I haven't been a Christian for a long while, but this movie is just absolutely amazing. I remember when I was a kid having to go to Sunday school, and they'd roll out the tv cart so we could watch this movie or veggie tales, and suddenly that morning was good.
I 100% agree. I'm 35 and I saw this in theaters at age 9 or so, and I absolutely loved this movie. And such an AMAZING soundtrack.
The soundtrack is absolutely top notch! Beautiful unique animation and the cast - I've only just realised who everyone is after being a fan since a kid, amazing!
I was surprised to see the cast of Prince of Egypt.
This added to the impact, I believe.
This is my dad's favorite movie and I fully understand why, it's just great, the music, the animation it's awesome, and when I say this I say this with encouragment, respect, and love, don't be afraid to be bold with your faith, Holden and Jen, it's awesome to see other Christians on youtube. And to all my brothers and sisters who read this, Have a blessed day.
I am Hindu, with no connection to the biblical story, and I absolutely LOVE this movie. I watched it and loved it as a kid, and it's stuck with me ever since. The story is fantastic, the soundtrack I still listen to sometimes. The acting was great throughout, as was the animation. It made me curious about more biblical stories as an adult. Moses is an admirable leader, regardless of your religion. Great lessons for kids too - I will show it to my son as soon as he's old enough - and it's unexpectedly funny too in places.
One of the best movies ever made, animated or otherwise.
The Prince of Egypt is my #1 top favorite movie cause of the cast , the music and the animation
Best opening to any movie ever. Period.
I remember watching this in junior high when we were learning about Egypt in history class. As a Christian, I knew this was the closest I’d get to watching something biblical in public school. Although in high school English we did get to listen to the sermon Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God. And knowing that Jen is Jewish, I have a bigger respect for you two. When I was younger, I dated this Jewish girl and her parents made us break up when they found out about me being a Christian.
I’m so sorry to hear that. But, I’m trying to find a right date as Christian myself.
i love how passionate he is about this movie!! finally someone who’s as obsessed with this movie as I am😅 only recently did I stop crying every time I heard the line “Elohim, God on high, can you hear your people cry?” it’s so powerful😭
also my favorite song will forever be “all i ever wanted” it’s literally what got me obsessed with ancient Egypt when i was a kid and i’m still super obsessed with it now almost 10 years later
I’m a Christian and a disabled vet I joined the service in 2009 was injured in 2015 T.B.I thank you for making videos
old dreamwork movies hit hard. I love “the prince of Egypt,” but my all time favorite movie is “Chicken run.”
You should definitely watch Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" movie starring Donny Osmond.
Absolutely fantastic. My childhood.
Epic movie. ONE OF the greatest animated movies of all time. Arguably it's Val Kilmer's best actual performance, which is just fascinating. The score is unreal. This has stuck with me as a non-religious person through the years. Great stuff.
After seeing this movie really made me wish they continue this. Like imagine if the same team did a Noah's ark movie, the story of David.
lol. no.
they did a direct to dvd kind of prequel (Joseph King of Dreams), but yeah more would've been great!
I love this movie!
I tell everyone about this movie!
The cast!
The soundtrack!
The art style and animation for a 1998 movie!
I also listen to the soundtrack a lot and even metal covers!
I am a Christian but I know people who are not religious who also love this movie
Awesome coincidence that you uploaded this today. This week's Torah portion in Jewish synagogues was Shemot (Exodus 1:1 - 6:1). This movie really is a masterpiece, thanks for the great reaction :)
As a Christian who enjoys the Holden hardman channel, I’m stoked you uploaded this!!
I’m 45. I’m a Christian and know the biblical story well. I saw this many times. I’ve always really liked it.
That being said, Holden, you putting so much “sauce” on what you feel the Prince Of Egypt is the dorkiest, exaggerated take I’ve ever heard you give.
Boyz II Men’s “ I Will Get There” (which played during the closing credits) is my favorite song on the soundtrack.
Thank you for bringing attention to this film. I’m Jewish. Well versed in this biblical story and some of the midrash. I’m also an armchair Egyptologist. When it showed the Orion constellation, I thought about the Egyptian interpretation of it as Horus’ father. The theme of reincarnation. I don’t know if that was what they were intending. Remember, the biblical story would also be about the slave mentality being shed.
Helen Mirren is the voice of the Queen👸🏻
& I think Boston recognized the music & wanted to see what it was from😇
This is certainly one of the greatest animated films ever made and certainly the greatest movie in DREAMWORKS' collection.
Moses's adopted mother was Rameses aunt, his birth mother nursed him, then brought him back to her after he was weaned. His name means drawn from the water. His brother Aaron became his spokesperson because he had a stutter.
I’m an atheist
BUT IM ALSO an artist - animator and 41 yrs old - I grew up in a Christian family
However - THIS IS MY FAV ANIMATION OF ALL TIME - the story is wonderful - beautiful like most religious stories
The animation is unparalleled even to this day
The voice acting perfect
The song’s beautiful
But the scene with good speaking to Moses - with god coming from the sky killing the first born - with Moses turning the sea red - and not only the fire tornado but splitting the sea
Is the greatest animation accomplishment I had ever seen - a mix of 2D and 3D animation
This film made me want to become an animator and artist
I love it - truly love it -
As someone who thinks all religions are incorrect have not proven themselves to be true are born from a want of power and control and responsible for unspeakable evils
No one should judge anyone here for their religion
Respect each other
Beautiful film
When I was in kindergarten we went on a field trip to the movies and The Prince of Egypt was the movie we watched. Great movie.
Holden just keeps reinforcing how similar my media taste is to his. From raimi Spider-Man to dragon ball, and now prince of Egypt! I grew up Muslim but still loved watching this as a kid when it’d come on tv. Holden I heavily recommend The Message 1979 if you ever want to see a great movie depicting the origin of Islam
I like how Holden casually explains the slavery of the Jews to his Jewish wife
*Jen off screen: I love the 10 Commandments!
*God in Darth Sidious’ voice:
Goooooooood
Holden mentioning that he sang the River Lullaby to Hero was so wholesome. Such a great dad :)
I like that you guys make an interreligious marriage work. Always love seeing people married who have different faiths, backgrounds, interracial, etc.
Insane that the parting of the Red Sea took 2 years to animate
Singing, acting is the best, has aged like fine wine
As a Christian I cannot get enough of this movie. It is truly beautiful and represented God so powerfully and beautifully
This is definitely the BEST DreamWorks animated film and possibly of all time though I think a number of Studio Ghibli films as well as Steamboy are up there too.
Not arguably. In my opinion, it's the best animated film. And that's not religious bias speaking. Even if I wasn't Christian, I'd love this movie
I recommend watching Joseph King of Dreams since you watched Prince of Egypt
Grew up a super Christian around my grandmother, and she's the one who got me this. Not only do I love this movie, but the soundtrack and score, all of the songs land so hard, one of those movies where nothing misses, everything hits.
Another film that can a bit after it was the Joseph film, it's no Prince of Egypt, but it still has a great cast (Ben Affleck and Mark Hamill are in it), but it's not as fancy as this was.
7:43 "I like his little side ponytail."
I love commenting about this cuz I find it really interesting. In ancient Egyptian culture, the way you wear your hair (or in some cases, someone else's hair) designated status. That hairstyle is called by historians "The side lock of youth" because it's only ever seen depicted on royal children (both genders). So it's interesting that even as a young adult, this version of Rameses is still wearing it, and I think it says something about how Seti views him.
Also, nobility wearing someone else's hair as a wig was a symbol of their ultimate authority over them.
Classic movie! I love how moving it is! Glad you two are doing a reaction to this film! 🙏🏽💪
I had the soundtrack on CD when I was a kid - wore that thing out lol
This movie was everything! I definitely grew up as a Christian but strayed away. No matter what, this movie and soundtrack are SO GOOD! I get goosebumps every time I see it. I enjoyed the little side anecdotes you gave to explain the biblical text. I’ve forgotten a lot of it
I remember when this movie came out in 98, it was pretty big for an animated movie that wasn’t by Disney. And the song was huge… Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston sang it live together at an awards show
Moses was actually 40 when he left Egypt and he spent 40 years (Yes 40 years) in exile in the wilderness and at the age of 80 went back to Egypt then lead the people out into the wildness and then spent another 40 years in the wilderness dying age 120.
I absolutely love the prince of Egypt. Even when I was an agnostic I still loved watching it so much.
The music video of the film is the song "When You Believe" performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
The soundtrack usually doesn't amaze you the first time because you're trying to follow the story. However if you listen to it a second time and you hear those extra things in there it's better.
Also try it wirh a pair of ear buds. Especially for the let my people go song.
I love this as much as he says he does. I great memory I’ve got. Getting a movie poster when my family and I saw it on it’s release date.
Can't believe Holden didn't bust out the Whitney-Mariah music video, which could've won Jen over on the soundtrack side of things.
I haven’t seen this movie in years but it’s popped up on several channels I check out on here. I’ve always loved the music from this film and it is WITHOUT QUESTION the most beautiful animated film ever. Is it 100% accurate, no, but they still did a mighty good job. The scene where the firstborn are taken in the night, still chills my blood to this day
I remember suggesting this a long time ago! I’m happy you finally showed your wife! Your opinion on it being on of the best animated movies, I couldn’t agree more.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I still have my VHS copy, though I’ve moved to watching the 4k disc these days. Glad Jen shares your love for this movie now, are you guys considering doing Joseph: King of Dreams as well?
Your dog is so funny he kept looking at the ceiling and it was killing me 😂😂
I'm an Atheist and I love this movie and grew up watching it also over when they sing at the plagues and the splitting of the red sea
I am so excited you guys did this! Hands down my favorite animated movie. When I was in grade school my class for graduation sang the song “When You Believe”. I was a part of a small group that did the Hebrew solo. Good times! 😎
A hand animated movie like this will usually take around 2 years to make.
The parting of the red sea, JUST THAT SCENE, took two years, and the results are stunning.
Holden is right; the animation in this movie has not been topped, and likely never will be.
One of my all time favorites from Dreamworks! Absolutely love it. Fluid animation, awesome story, and top tier vocal cast all neatly tied into a film some thought wouldn't be as amazing as it is. Also, Hans Zimmer 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Good heavens
Yes, it’s one of the very few Non Disney animated movies that was actually pretty big.
Because most animated movies that weren’t by Disney tend to fly under the radar
Man you were definitely that guy in school that would always say what's going to happen next when watching a movie in class. We get it, you've seen it
Fun fact: The Prince of Egypt was banned in the Maldives, Malaysia and Egypt, and all state Islam countries, on the grounds that Islamic prophets who include Moses are not to be visually depicted. The film was also banned in my homeland of Indonesia, but was later released in video CD format
