- Most animated movies have gotten the recognition they deserve, however one film that is almost always over looked is none other than The Prince of Egypt. In this video essay I explore the artistry and themes of what I believe to be the best animated film of all time, The Prince of Egypt, a forgotten masterpiece.

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.
trusty beetle omg yes! I hear that!
dunno why but i cried at some parts too
@@junggoo3534 like what parts?
@@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
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
Haha! Right
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.
@@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.
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.
Art deserves to be heard or somewhat seen
@@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.
DreamWorks before:
The Prince of Egypt
DreamWorks now:
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.*
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
>>ua-cam.com/video/qbCbyf16iYc/v-deo.html
Oh that just made me so sad....from art to...what do you call that mess?
@@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.
Fun Fact: This movie is ironically banned in Egypt.
Really?
@@raptonsoul2557 Yeah. I think it's because Egypt is a Muslim majority country, and in Islam, it's kinda wrong to visualize important figures in religious history such as Moses and God's voice since we don't really know what they looked or sounded like. As a Muslim, I of course don't have a problem with it because they're not trying to be offensive in any way. In fact, this is one of my favourite movies. But I can understand why others might not want to watch this.
Actually banned in Lebanon.
Oh- So THATS why I can’t find it XD
I didn’t actually know it was banned in Egypt so I was very confused when I didn’t find it
Of all things...
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
Same for me
The book was better 😂
@@wokekoala3888ok
The song was great too
@@tami7992yes
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 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.
M M exactly why I wasn’t allowed to watch Hercules as a kid 😔
Andrew Gardiner damn that sucks man, I’m sorry 🤧 Hercules was such a good movie
M M agreed. When I finally did watch it as an adult, I loved 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.
@@trystenlyth1139 Right. We've must've watched different movies then.
"Forgotten masterpiece"
I NEVER FORGOT
Neither did I
Same
Same. I literally just watched this movie again. Fantastic.
Me either man ! I still singing with my kids this whole times songs! My kids are adults now !!
Petra Hübinette me too my fifth grade substitute teacher at that time
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
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.
It's an animation, it's not real.. God us just as real as dragons and elf's.. So grow up

*As a child Christian, i am very offended no one showed me this*
Update: i watched it, 10/10 movie
It is indeed a great film.
*i have many childhood memories*😌
@@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.
@@TheKing-qz9wd yes im a child but im not too young lmao
@@totallyviolet7732
Then you're close enough that you should treat my saying as you would from an elder. Blessings, young one.
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.
LOL 2 Batman actors in dreamworks bible adaptions
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.
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
Let's not forget the scene where Pharaoh tells Moses
"Oh my son...they were only slaves"
Gives me goosebumps as a child it was so chilling
MY PEOPLE
Yep. He could’ve and would’ve been one of them if his mother didn’t take the desperate measures she did to save him.
Me too
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.
It's so hard to believe Patrick Stewart said it, even if a line for the film, it's heart breaking.
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
Just INSANE lyrical depth on every number
Ah yes! Totally agree.
That’s Hans Zimmer for ya
Even as an Athiest, i absolutely love this film and all the work that went into it. Its a wonderful tale with a wonderful meaning. The film delivers on it and especially delivers on the heavy moments. Its absolutely brutal to watch Ramses hold his dead son, and the song for the plagues is unforgettable. I only wish they let Ramses sing for longer lol.
same i watched this when i was younger growing up christian but even though i’m agnostic now this film will forever remain among my favourites
im christian and i just really love how this movie brings people together without forcing anything on one another. its sick lmao
@@hooray32140 I be glad to see many United Through Christ :) glad this movie has inspired many that, even me 👍🏻
Same! An atheist through and through but this film is a true masterpiece 🥰
I find it odd how people would think their unbelieve in fairytales about gods might stand in the way of enjoing an adaptation of hebrew myth. You don't see comments that begin with "even though I'm an atheist..." under Disney's Hercules, so why here lol
As a Christian, with very few films that honor to my religion, it’s genuinely very nice to have a film like this.
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).
@@tylowstar9765 cool. Didn't know that's how our stories were viewed. Doesn't matter as long as the film is fantastic
@@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.
the prince of Egypt

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..

@@HarrisonBuck720 imo it's good not better than the ones I stated that's my opinion but very good and I rewatched a couple of times
I don't care what religion you are, this is a masterpiece.

@@bogdanrab1350 completely incorrect
I also don’t care who the actors are as people this is incredible even if some liberties were taken
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.
@@biIIybob858 idk know how much it goes too with u ppl outside my country we have in my lang a way to write his name without it being considered a sin
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
Coming here to mention Atlantis as well, the 2d films in those years were on a whole different level.
The score of this film is absolutely breathtaking. I heard it as a child and it never left me.

We need more Christian films like the Prince of Egypt, who don’t criticize the audience but rather just tell a story
Yes, even if it stops before Leviticus chapter 25, oddly. Hey-ho.
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.
@@callmebeep5763 Is that really in the bible?
I was a bit annoyed on rewatching that they made the Egyptian priests frauds whereas in the actual story they are just meant to be less strong.
@Al Strider yeah, that's typically how most anti-christians are. Take what they want out of context and use it to demonize christianity.
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.
The fact that this movie is "forgotten" in that it doesn't show up on "best of" lists nor given attention is likely testament to how true and beautiful it is. There's a deliberate agenda to push on us movies that are shallow, cheap entertainment with just enough melodrama thrown in to make them seem touching. Prince of Egypt is truly an animated masterpiece. It's leading fault is the inconsistencies with the actual Old Testament accounts, but as a film unto itself it's astoundingly good. Best synergy of stylistic quality, animated smoothness, scale, drama, music, and voice acting I've ever seen. I'd love to live to see the day when a New Testament story is done to anything approaching POEs quality.

This movie deserves to be in the top 50 AT LEAST not just top 100. Such a masterpiece.
Boy, if I remember my bible, Moses is about to flip when the movie ends.
You remember correctly lol
Flip tablets too
You remember correctly bro
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”
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 like that this movie may not be talked about much, when it is talked about, it's always praised 99% of the time
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
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.
The scene where Moses split the sea actually gave me goosebumps, it was absolutely astounding.
For me it was when God yells, "Who made man's mouth?" THAT gives me goosebumps.
This whole movie gives me goosebumps, Everytime I watch it.

@@doublEdEckEr- true
It is a crime that Hans Zimmer did not win an oscar for the OST of this film back in the day !

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
@@Chi-np2lz 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.
I’m gonna be honest, not only is this my favourite dreamworks movie, but this is just hands down, my favourite movie ever
I remember when I watched The Prince of Egypt as a kid and being absolutely blown away by this film, as someone who grew up on Christian media like Veggie Tales I could not tell you how incredible watching this movie was the first time, like I understand to an extent why most Christian media is relatively sanitized to appeal to younger children, but I couldn’t tell you how great it made me feel when this film treated me like an actual adult, like they didn’t sugar coat it like most children Christian films I had seen up until that point, it really showed that the Jewish people’s children were being fed to the crocodiles and as disturbing as it was it showed the weight and importance of Moses’s mission to free the Israelites in a way that most children’s films just never could

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.
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
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.
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..
One of the best movies ever. Characters, depth, music, animation, art, EVERYTHING

Anubis Spielberg was the producer. There were 3 directors, one of whom was Brenda Chapman, the first female director of an animated film 😊
Brenda Chapman is not the first. That credit goes to Lotte Reiniger's 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
If you mean for a major studio, in that case it'll be Brenda.
@@AmyLRichie Oh, sorry
Hollywood blacklists movies that involve God all the time, what should we expect?
The Letter Bleeds awesome! I didn’t know that
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
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!!
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.
"Deliver us"
"The plagues"
The eldest son dying
Thousands of soldiers drowning
HOW IS THIS G RATED?!?!?
Just because it's not graphic I assume. But this film does deal with very heavy topics.
Don’t forget the murder, slavery, and infanticide
It's PG dude...
@@davejohnson2859 Oh, last time I checked it was G.
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.
"Deliver Us" gives me chills. every freaking time.
The Hebrew version in particular gets me going every time. That song is just distilled heartache. Ofra Haza is a legend
That and the Plagues song. Simply Amazing.
@@Phelie315 yes
That's God bro, He felt the pain and suffering of His people more than they did.
Seriously, even if you aren't religious how can it not move you? It's a BEAUTIFUL piece.
I listen to Deliver Us at least once a week and I still get goosebumps and choke back tears when Ofra Haza sings 🥲
Same. I get chills just thinking about that song.
9:12 growing up, I swore for the longest time, I thought that kid that Moses picks up WAS ACTUALLY 1 or 2 pharaoh soldiers trying to escape the water, and end up getting swept away at the last moment before getting Moses. I did not release it was a kid for I thought it was more in the background, making me think it was an older person running after Moses but not a kid running with Moses to escape the water.
It was the most cruel way to die and my interpretation/ perspective mentally scard me until I knew the truth!
please tell me I'm not the only one that saw this. I straight up believe it was/is a Mandela Effects???!!!
It’s a shame they never really did more movies like this the Bible is full of rich and powerful stories that would work great in this style
They did Joseph King of Dreams. It was trash.
@@meeshelle975 yes.
@@applecoreeater Yeah, it wasn't great. Which is a shame, 'cause I love the story of Joseph.
@@alesiasredruby1511 It's almost like they had Prince of Egypt and then forgot everything about what made it work as a story and animation.
@@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'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 UA-cam 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
One of the greatest depictions of mythology ever made.
Glad to see someone with common sense here, seems to be a rarity.
Oh look, more Rick and Morty fans.
@@Ziggykitty666 how is believing in God not having common sense?
@@mosest20 believe in a deity if you want, but this story is completely made up. Nothing about this movie is historically accurate. I’m not even commenting on if any god is real or not, I’m talking about this film.
@@Ziggykitty666 Its because the original comment said "depictions of mythology" and when you agreed with him, I thought both of you were talking about christianity as a whole, not the movie.
This is one of the few movies i think should be made mandatory to see in school, no matter your befiefs.
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
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.
Same
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
@@nokachi3339 I agree with you. unfortunately people take them way to seriously
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.
Oh my god YES. I literally look away everytime he scrapes his foot it makes me so uncomfortable lol
I legit have to look away on that scene
Oh don’t remind me 🥴
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.
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.
Wish DreamWorks would make more movies like this
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.
One of the only animes thats as good as the Manga
I couldn't help but give that a like God bless you. 😊😊

@@shadestrider1033 yeah but it is old school it's what people liked back in the day you can't really balme the author, it is a best seller
1998: 5 year old me *awestruck*
2008: 15 year old me *awestruck*
2024: 31 year old me *still awestruck*
This film is, and always will be timeless.
I remember not wanting to watch this movie because I thought it was for kids but now I hate myself for that because I lost the chance to see this masterpiece
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.
im basically a hardcore atheist but this film has been my favorite since childhood. every time i watch it i notice something new. the music and art and story and tone is all just fucking incredible. a masterpiece in my opinion.
I’m a pagan, and this is still one of my favorite movies.
Its true story telling at its finest! It shows a lack of character and skill level when compared to alot of other animated films
My Parents are both Atheist and this was the first animated movie they got me, I was generally Confused by all the god stuff, the burning bush, never got it as a child
Yes I loved this movie so much too! If you're looking for another musical like this, the only other musical I've considered a "Masterpiece" (besides this one) is called "His Story" on UA-cam. It's free and 30 songs are coming out on Palm Sunday. Right now they have 4 songs out though, and I've been listening to them over and over. Enjoy!
Me too! No shame whatsoever, this movie is amazing
It is the quintessential telling of Moses. It’s flawless.
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.
Josh: Why Christian movies are bad
Also josh: prince of Egypt is a masterpiece
That's exactly the point. The joy of faith, the change in the heart and the sheer astonishingly beautiful glory of God is soaked in Prince of Egypt even though it's a relatively short movie, but God is not dead? I'm studying to become a missionary, I love the Gospel of Jesus, but those movies cringe me rather than making me weep at the notion of the sovereignty of God.
Yo till this day i thought this was a muslim movie
@@Zebaxxx123 it's a Torah movie, so kinda works with moses being the moses that pointed to Jesus, that pointed to the coming messiah or even musa from the Quran
@@Vlugazoide ok thank you
@@Vlugazoide Musa and Moses is the same, right?
I don't know much because in my language Indonesian, Moses is Musa and we also call God Allah (even Christians).
The first biblical interpretation I’d seen on a major scale that didn’t have the characters depicted as European
If you're Christian, you should watch The Chosen. It's a masterfully done series about the life of Jesus that portrays Him and his disciples in an incredible way. Would really recommend it. The only Europeans in it are the Romans
This movie made me like Judaism so much
@@mecurian485 I don't think so. Frozen 2 got a lot backlash for putting a random black character in the story. The same goes for Netflix Shows when the only characteristic of a gay character is being gay and nothing else.
Nobody wants forceful representation
Really only idiots care about that tho
its from the torah dude its not a christian movie this is jewish
this movie inspired my entire creative journey when I watched it as a child. I would not be the person I am today without it. Its what made me want to create art.
I think the film's biblical source material has certain people write it off from the start. I've known very few who have watched Prince of Egypt with an open mind who have been unable to appreciate it for what it is - a pretty damn good animated picture and one of the best from the time period.
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
May you be
Christian, Jewish or atheist
THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE
Also you can actually see some Egyptian joining the Hebrews
muslims also believe in Moses pbuh
yeah, there are 2 to be more precise, they drop their weapons when the Hebrews leave, they appear on 2 scene, one when the crowd is passing the sea, one is when people look back
Not necessarily Egyptian, bc Moses was dressed as an Egyptian. So, could be Hebrews adopting Egyptian lifestyle in order not to be associated with their brothers in slavery.
S. Gilbert Dyer true but Moses thought he was a Egyptian and even at first believed in their gods and they wouldn’t allow slaves to be guards of the pharaoh/medji
@@Duck89111 that is an odd assumption because the Hebrews were not slaves at first and even had a higher standard of living so...
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!
"Humble but ultimately true" a simple yet profound statement
I think The Price Of Egypt is far superior to The Lion King.
They have a similar regard in my heart. The storytelling up to Mustafa dying was masterful.
@@tictacs4 Even the 2nd half had some masterful scenes, such as "Remember who you are."
True, that was so masterful as well. Love that scene.
I'd say it's a little higher. 'Far superior' is a bit of a stretch though, TLK is amazing as well.
Except one is emotional film for children and adults, and the other is religious propaganda.
Aw, this is nice to see. My husband painted a lot of the backgrounds on this movie. Dreamworks was really fun to work for when it first started. My husband was called "the cloud boy" because he did great clouds. Memory lane... thanks for the video!
The pictures are amazing, at like 3 months my baby sister watched this for the first time and cries through the first seen probably because they where killing baby's 🥺
His work is beautiful 😍 ❤
That’s really amazing. Thank you for his contribution! 💙
nice catch lmao
Please thank your husband for me... for playing a significant part in the creation of this beautiful film. This film is as visually striking as any animated film has ever been and that most definitely includes the backdrops.
"Despicable Me 1 and 2 show up on these lists more often."
And I just had another one of my "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" moments.
One of my favorite moments isn’t even a scene by itself, more like one part of it. When the Hebrews are walking out of Egypt, finally free, we see two Egyptian guards drop their weapons and follow them. It’s so small but so impactful. They do this for whatever reason, but I’d like to think it’s because they finally see themselves not above them, but the same as the people they once reigned over, and they choose to abandon their ways and follow God instead. They see themselves through Heaven’s Eyes and no one objects to their coming. I love that as a subtle idea that anyone is worthy of God’s grace.
Prince Of Egypt
Is definitely a master peice. Its ashame that people are sleeping on this gold mine. I'm also Pissed that Netflix took it off.
Happy cuties noises....
use a vpn and switch to uk netflix i watched it today lol
Just saw it yesterday with Netflix lol

LALA LI LA LAI LILA LAI LA LI LAI LAI
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.
Honestly, I don't understand how Shrek was more recognized and appreciated than this film. I will never understand.
I love how in the movie, Moses gets more "jewish looking" as the film goes on.
@Greg Elchert yes. That contributes to making him look “more Jewish,” since he begins looking like his sister. Good observation.
He's not really Jewish looking, because he's a levite

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.
Hey Josh, your video is so well made, I’ll admittedly come back to watch it every few months just to remind myself, “there are others”. Thank you for the ‘Hidden Masterpiece’ of a masterpiece.
genuinely one of my favorite animated movies of all time. so underrated. i feel its so washed over bc of its biblical story reference but its so good i wish people gave it more of a chance.
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.
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.
