You’re commenting this on an Animated Movie. Dyou watch Steamboat Willie and throw popcorn at the screen cuz “Mice can’t talk! Fuck you I’m a veterinarian!”
0:27 Fun fact: In the Book of Exodus, this plague (wild animals attacking humans and livestock) actually made the Pharaoh ask Moses to stop on the promise that he'd let the Israelites go. When the plague stopped, he turned back on his word and the plagues continued.
Of course, because, God knew that Ramses was lying. So he stopped the plagues and then started them again because NO one should trust a liar. Even if Moses loved his adopted brother there is a difference between trust and love. An excellent and powerful scenario
@@Jack574. I could understand the first time when Moses said let my people go and Ramses saying "lol no" but after the first plague, I'm pretty sure he would've been like "you know what, I might have rushed to judgement." But apparently wasn't given that opportunity given how the Lord happened his heart. to what purpose?
@@lugo8824The hardening of the heart by God actually refers to pharaoh being stubborn. His confrontations with God hardens his heart because he won't yield. His ego won't allow it. God doesn't tempt people but he knows his people and he knew that pharaoh's heart would be hardened by his confrontations with God through Moses and the plagues.
The great part about this movie is how it doesn’t preach, it just tells a story while not demonizing the Egyptians. The song is a masterpiece in itself, the vocals are very chilling.
Word. I reject the notion of Anciemt Egyptians being demonized as irredeemably evil Pagans. And tbh the slaughter of Hebrew infants, while absolutely monstrous and inexcusable, was the only way the Egyptians knew to retain power and avoid a slave rebellion. They took very drastic measures as a panic response, as would most people if they were put in that scenario, I believe
@@artc667 Right. The slaughter of those infants is absolutely horrific to think about, let alone them actually carrying out. Those ideals were mostly how the higher-ups thought, I highly doubt not everyone in Egypt back then thought killing babies="good idea!" The civilians of Egypt are innocent, it's just the Pharoah's that needed fixing, sucks that the innocent people had to suffer over their ruler's bad decisions. :(
To be fair the Egyptian civilians were more than likely kind and didn’t mind the Hebrews it’s just the higher power who hated the Hebrews like modern day war, the civilians don’t hate each other the governments do
The Gospel: JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)!!..

Easily the bit where you see both brothers just staring at each other and Rameses walking off into the shadows ..that's my favourite part of animation in this film. It's so symbolic of how Rameses just walks into the shadows; the shadow his fathers legacy, a legacy he's trying so determined to perfect and surpass
I also see this as Rameses giving up on Moseph as to say "you're no longer my brother" while Moseph is still looking meaning he still has hope left for Rameses.
"You, who were my brother, how could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted?" God, this line really stuck to me. Moses never hated him. Moses didn't want any of this. Moses loves his brother and his nation. Part of me wants to believe Rameses knows that. This is his pride talking - the pride that comes from the fear his father branded him of being the "weak link". It's not just the line - I can hear it in his voice. :(
Doesn't the bible say that God hardened the Pharaoh's heart? Surely, he can't be blamed for what happened if God had put some heart-hardening spell on him. In the bible, it seems like this is all God's handiwork, doesn't it? His plan. Drowning people, sending plagues, sending Israelites to slaughter people. Annihilate people. I don't think God exists. I think scholarly consensus is that Moses didn't exist. Or at least didn't write the Pentateuch. But in the bible, this is all God. Playing with his creation. At least that's what it looks like to me.
@@Vindsus86Maybe, maybe not. Maybe God is the real antagonist of this movie, then the story is about how people like Moses had to cope. Either way it's a great film. I don't think "God" really exists either. To me he's a metaphor for the universe, and in this story probably a metaphor for the anger of the slaves.
This movie was way ahead if its time. I'm a Christian but they're is so much more to this movie than god. Moseph was a prince who found out how bad the pharaoh was and about his past. He's torn not knowing what to do so he panics and kills a guard this is something he doesn't want to just be covered up so he leaves at a struggle. Finds god and finds out what he has to do and comes to peace with himself. He goes back to a place where he used to call home, his brother who he loved more than anything is now the pharaoh and is way worse than his father. He warns what will happen his brother doesn't listen, Moseph knows what has to happen, the plagues and bugs hurting his people. As it says in the song he's tortured seeing this but the word of god helps him through. Its so amazing how he's torn but knows what has to be done. And his brother. Wanting to continue his fathers legacy of slavery and wars he once feels for Moseph but he grows to hate his once loved brother because he didn't head the warnings of him . Also, at the end when the 2 brothers are looking at each other notice how the pharaoh turns away breaking that brother bond and considering hi an enemy while Moseph is still looking at him as if he hasn't given up hope. Not to mention when the Pharaoh left alive at the end, I see this as a way that god showed mercy and gave him time to think and collect himself like Moseph once did.
I’m Christian, and I’ve never really seen this movie, but from what I can see here, and what I’m told in the comments, I’m gonna guess that it rocks, and I’m glad we can enjoy it together. ⚛️🤝✝️
Even as a Muslim I admire it, the animation and storytelling is beautiful and I teared up just thinking of the hardwork that went into it honestly. Hate the company, but adore the skills and it's a shame how far DreamWorks has fallen.
“And even now, I wish that god had chose another; serving as your foe on his behalf is the last thing that I wanted! This was my home. All this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside. All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride!” I really love these two verses, they really portray that at the end of the day even though Moses was chosen by his god (im not religious don’t attack me) he was still a normal person that was forced against his brother. In comparison to how much he looks up to him in the beginning of the film to these verses, it just proves the excellence in the directors choice of character development.
@@twistedtitan5485 It's a Melody in music used repeatedly to represent certain thematic ideas within the piece of music, or external themes, in this case, there's a ton of leitmotifs at use.
*10 Plagues of Egypt* 1. Turning water to blood 2. Frogs 3. Lice or gnats 4. Wild animals or flies 5. Pestilence of livestock 6. Boils 7. Thunderstorm of hail and fire 8. Locusts 9. Darkness for three days 10. Death of firstborn
0:58 I love how Moses is standing, not worried how his own safety while everyone else around him is fleeing from fire from the sky because he knows God's not going to harm him here
I think that was exactly the point. At this point, God was warning the arrogant, cruel Pharaoh that He would stop at nothing to save His people. The plagues were His wrath outpoured on Egypt and its idolatry, each plague specifically attacking the Egyptian gods going all the way up to Pharaoh himself.
This movie was, so good. I accidentally bought this movie on demand when I was little. We ended up getting it on DVD and it came in our mailbox. My dad wasn’t mad because it was a Bible movie lol
Thus saith the Lord: Since you refuse to free my people All through the land of Egypt... I send a pestilence and plague Into your house, into your bed Into your streams, into your streets Into your drink, into your bread Upon your cattle, on your sheep Upon your oxen in your field Into your dreams, into your sleep Until you break, until you yield I send the swarm, I send the horde Thus saith the Lord [Moses] Once I called you brother Once I thought the chance to make you laugh Was all I ever wanted... I send the thunder from the sky I send the fire raining down [Moses] And even now I wish that God had chose another Serving s your foe on his behalf Is the last thing that I wanted... [Chorus] I send a hail of burning ice On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town [Moses] This was my home All this pain and devastation How it tortures me inside All the innocent who suffer From your stubbornness and pride... [Chorus] I send the locusts on a wind Such as the world has never seen On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk Until there's nothing left of green I send my scourge, I send my sword Thus saith the Lord! [Moses] You who I called brother Why must you call down another blow? [Chorus] I send my scourge, I send my sword [Moses] Let my people go! [Moses and Chorus] Thus saith the Lord! [Rameses] You who I called brother How could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted? [Chorus] I send the swarm, I send the horde... [Rameses] Then let my heart be hardened And never mind how high the cost may grow This will still be so: I will never let your people go... [Chorus] Thus saith the Lord: [Moses] Thus saith the Lord: [Rameses] I will not... [Moses, Rameses, and Chorus] Let your/my people go!
THUS SAITH THE LORD is so final. I am not particularly religious, though I was when I was younger. But this song hits hard. Ramses so stubborn and defiant. Wow. I can't believe I have never seen this movie. By the time this came out I guess I was over animated stuff.
This just really highlights what a villain God is in the bible. He hardens the Pharaoh's heart and then he tortures and kills Egyptian civilians when the hard-hearted Pharaoh won't give way.
@@Vindsus86 Rameses was stubborn and defiant because he believed himself to be chief of the gods. And suffered a severe military defeat at the hands of the Hittites, which he proceeded to go on a massive building campaign to, literally, whitewash the defeat and created it as a "glorious victory for the Egyptian God Rameses, the bright and morning star." (And now you know why Jesus Christ had snatched that little self-title from Pharaoh's lips.) Pharaoh's pride refused the request from the beginning, thus did God send His response, and hardened Pharaoh's heart as a lesson. But you realize God had only done this 'once' yes? Specifically after the 6th Plague. Which led to the 7th plague. This one was headed by the people of Egypt, those who took sheltered from the storm(hail storm) would be spared, those who did not head the Word of God, would be smitten to death in the fields. Those who heard Moses tell this to Pharaoh set messengers to others, and became a personal decision "Do I believe Moses? Do I shelter? Or do I continue to believe in the God-King Rameses II?" Those who refused, perished. This is the passage that people go "Who's the real villain?" Pharaoh is. God presented 5 cases prior for Rameses to repent and be forgiven, all he had to do was humble himself. (This meant admitting that he is not a god, and that YHWH is greater. This broke Rameses already wounded pride from the failed Hittite campaign 5 years prior.) If you're going to try and insult the book, make sure you actually know what's written.
This song is powerful. It shows us how Phoses is blinded by stubbornness and pride by being called the weak link, making Phoses being heartless to the Hebrews following in his fathers footsteps. Moses realizing his past, knowing what they did to his people made him open his eyes and he knew he had to leave. Moses knew he had to return back so he can free his people, but Phoses having pride in himself, he didn't let the Hebrews go. It shows us how far God would go just to free his people by sending plaques, darkness into the town and making the spirits take the soul of the children who doesn't have blood painted on their door. Phoses then opened his eyes and let Moses people go.
They did. Joseph King of Dreams is a prequel, the story of Joseph is how the Children of Israel end up in Egypt, made with the same animation style. It's not quite as musically epic as Prince of Egypt, but it's still a good watch.
@@luispalao7418 True, though Sampsons story ends on a realy harsh downbeat. Whereas Joseph King of Dreams and The Prince of Egypt are both epics, Simpsons story would be a tragedy. It would have been interesting to see how DreamWorks handled that.
When I was a kid I absolutely LOVED this movie and was one of my favorites. Now I rewatch it at 16 and this scene scared me and I couldn’t stop crying for how afraid I was for the whole movie
This for me was the saddest n most heart breaking in the movie .how Moses love and adored his adopted parents and his brother whom he love so much n wished God chose another to serve as the foe to his brother n his former nation..cos it was his own home he grew up with everyone around and knows everyone of them ..personally and seeing them suffer and their children(first born died) and in agony and how much it kills him inside but he has also received a Duty from God . I can hardly imagine how much it must have been for them both after all we can never deny our emotions though we have our own duty to attend to. I always felt so sorry for them both
the people who made this song will forever go down in history because the voices and the harmonizing even the instruments are all amazing this is a beautiful crafted movie. I love it!
@@editingman95 the only 2d movies I know of from them are the DC comics ones. Unless there's something I don't know of, I'm talking about mainstream movies in theaters, and I don't think they do that

Something I really like about this song, is the fact that the chorus is god speaking, I think it's a cool detail as he's many voices and it seems only Moses is able to hear it.
Yeah. Or what God can do when he's hardened your heart so you have no choice but to be stubborn and not listen. Because that was part of God's plan. Loving, isn't it.
@@Vindsus86if God bothers you so much, don't you think you should try, I don't know, TALKING TO HIM? Yes, I commented on another of your comments, but why go into the comments and start up with your opinions in the first place? Please reread the Bible, namely from the chapters of Joseph (the King of Dreams) up until Moses' birth. You'll see that God wasn't being a big meanie or just punishing people for no reason. The Isrealites became too numerous for Ramses I and he enslaved them. Right off the bat, you attacked God's chosen people. So, how do you react to someone taking your child? Rainbows and glitter? No, torture and death to those who harm your kids. Same goes with God. If you hurt His chosen people, there are consequences. Blasphemy is nothing more than the enemy sewing seeds of hate towards God, and you've been allowing the vines to grow with hate and dissent. If you choose to speak to Him, and actually try to listen, I'm pretty positive you would hear from Him.

Fun fact, the movie is directed by the same guy that directed An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We're Back: A Dinosaur Story, and Balto. Kinda funny how the director progressed his work during the 90's.
Always scared me as a child. As a Catholic person, this still scared me. And to think this is a children’s movie and this is the more appropriate version. Imagine how scary the famine was. Boils. Bug and the rest of the plagues. The power in this scene alone send chills. The musical score in this movie is also amazing. I love this movie so much.
I mean, the power of God is something to fear, but only if you aren't trying to actively follow the Lord/Jesus. Which definitely wasn't what Ramses was doing.
As someone that grew up in a house that serves the Lord, and now as a grownan, this movie was a slapper. Extremely underrated if only because of the subject of the Bible. Still a good movie.
Lmaooooo. Voldemort kills Harry and begins his reign of power only to be challenged by a power that surpasses his own more than he could ever imagine 🤣🤣 This is my private fanfic now
Years later and to me, this still remains one of the greatest animatic and musical pieces of all time. Such an awesome movie and it really did justice to the original Biblical account, despite some omissions. Loved God's portrayal in this film as well

“And even now, I wish that god had chose another; serving as your foe on his behalf is the last thing that I wanted! This was my home. All this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside. All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride!” I really love these two verses, they really portray that at the end of the day even though Moses was chosen by his god (im not religious don’t attack me) he was still a normal person that was forced against his brother. In comparison to how much he looks up to him in the beginning of the film to these verses, it just proves the excellence in the directors choice of character development.
@Tooth Fairy A Catholic can’t promise anything when it comes to crusades :P

Well, I am, and I'm going to attack you.

1:33 ❤️ incredible voice

This soundtrack is unbelievable.
The level of leitmotif's and storytelling happening in this sequence alone are truly breathtaking. Truly a masterpiece.
Found ya
What are leitmotifs??
I'm curious
@@twistedtitan5485 It's a Melody in music used repeatedly to represent certain thematic ideas within the piece of music, or external themes, in this case, there's a ton of leitmotifs at use.
i freaking swear, this movie will forever be one of the greatest animated films ever made. absolute masterpiece!!!!!!!
*10 Plagues of Egypt*
1. Turning water to blood
2. Frogs
3. Lice or gnats
4. Wild animals or flies
5. Pestilence of livestock
6. Boils
7. Thunderstorm of hail and fire
8. Locusts
9. Darkness for three days
10. Death of firstborn
How many of those had we had since 2020?
@@gameover9390 I’d guess probably the Plague of the Firstborn, but I could be wrong.
@@oldscoolgaming6700 none. God doesn't do repeat performances
Sounds fun /sarcasm
@@manoftruth0935 Hmm…you have a pretty good point there.
This movie will always be a great example of a Bible story that was represented right.
Also changed my path in life
Bible got some good stories for better or worse😂
"Thus saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord."
That chorus continue to show God's persistence to free His people.
0:58 I love how Moses is standing, not worried how his own safety while everyone else around him is fleeing from fire from the sky because he knows God's not going to harm him here
When I was a kid I was so scared of God's anger because of this movie.
When I first watched it, I was scared to eat some food, because I thought that several bugs would come out of it
@@megatmntdiamond2848 lol
I think that was exactly the point. At this point, God was warning the arrogant, cruel Pharaoh that He would stop at nothing to save His people. The plagues were His wrath outpoured on Egypt and its idolatry, each plague specifically attacking the Egyptian gods going all the way up to Pharaoh himself.
@Interestingenough4
Notice how Ra was targeted before the Pharaoh.
This movie was, so good. I accidentally bought this movie on demand when I was little. We ended up getting it on DVD and it came in our mailbox. My dad wasn’t mad because it was a Bible movie lol
This film is a cinematic masterpiece
Thus saith the Lord:
Since you refuse to free my people
All through the land of Egypt...
I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed
Into your streams, into your streets
Into your drink, into your bread
Upon your cattle, on your sheep
Upon your oxen in your field
Into your dreams, into your sleep
Until you break, until you yield
I send the swarm, I send the horde
Thus saith the Lord
[Moses]
Once I called you brother
Once I thought the chance
to make you laugh
Was all I ever wanted...
I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down
[Moses]
And even now I wish that God
had chose another
Serving s your foe on his behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted...
[Chorus]
I send a hail of burning ice
On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town
[Moses]
This was my home
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
From your stubbornness and pride...
[Chorus]
I send the locusts on a wind
Such as the world has never seen
On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
Until there's nothing left of green
I send my scourge, I send my sword
Thus saith the Lord!
[Moses]
You who I called brother
Why must you call down another blow?
[Chorus]
I send my scourge, I send my sword
[Moses]
Let my people go!
[Moses and Chorus]
Thus saith the Lord!
[Rameses]
You who I called brother
How could you have come to hate me so?
Is this what you wanted?
[Chorus]
I send the swarm, I send the horde...
[Rameses]
Then let my heart be hardened
And never mind how high the cost may grow
This will still be so:
I will never let your people go...
[Chorus]
Thus saith the Lord:
[Moses]
Thus saith the Lord:
[Rameses]
I will not...
[Moses, Rameses, and Chorus]
Let your/my people go!
It's crazy how even the background chanting is so heavy! All of the lyrics of this song are soo gooooo.
THUS SAITH THE LORD is so final. I am not particularly religious, though I was when I was younger. But this song hits hard. Ramses so stubborn and defiant. Wow. I can't believe I have never seen this movie. By the time this came out I guess I was over animated stuff.
@@KM-ql4eb Ramses was stubborn and defiant because God hardened his heart though. 😬
This just really highlights what a villain God is in the bible. He hardens the Pharaoh's heart and then he tortures and kills Egyptian civilians when the hard-hearted Pharaoh won't give way.
@@Vindsus86 Rameses was stubborn and defiant because he believed himself to be chief of the gods. And suffered a severe military defeat at the hands of the Hittites, which he proceeded to go on a massive building campaign to, literally, whitewash the defeat and created it as a "glorious victory for the Egyptian God Rameses, the bright and morning star." (And now you know why Jesus Christ had snatched that little self-title from Pharaoh's lips.)
Pharaoh's pride refused the request from the beginning, thus did God send His response, and hardened Pharaoh's heart as a lesson. But you realize God had only done this 'once' yes? Specifically after the 6th Plague. Which led to the 7th plague. This one was headed by the people of Egypt, those who took sheltered from the storm(hail storm) would be spared, those who did not head the Word of God, would be smitten to death in the fields.
Those who heard Moses tell this to Pharaoh set messengers to others, and became a personal decision "Do I believe Moses? Do I shelter? Or do I continue to believe in the God-King Rameses II?" Those who refused, perished. This is the passage that people go "Who's the real villain?" Pharaoh is. God presented 5 cases prior for Rameses to repent and be forgiven, all he had to do was humble himself. (This meant admitting that he is not a god, and that YHWH is greater. This broke Rameses already wounded pride from the failed Hittite campaign 5 years prior.)
If you're going to try and insult the book, make sure you actually know what's written.
God doesn’t control humans, but through Moses, he didn’t hold back for his chosen people.
why is this low key 2020 right now
I know. We shouldn't complain.
High key
@@darthserpentress7924 why not?
Im honestly surprised the world didn't end in 2020 🤣
I’m the one who wants my people free. The natives of caNAADAAA!!
I will admit one thing, the quick shot of googly eyed frogs does take you out of it for a moment.
You do not need to be a believer to just appreciate the absolute brilliance of this song and film. Unbelievable work!
"I send the swarm, I send the horde. Thus said the LORD." Gives me chills every time. Fantastic.
Sibling arguments be like
This song is powerful. It shows us how Phoses is blinded by stubbornness and pride by being called the weak link, making Phoses being heartless to the Hebrews following in his fathers footsteps. Moses realizing his past, knowing what they did to his people made him open his eyes and he knew he had to leave. Moses knew he had to return back so he can free his people, but Phoses having pride in himself, he didn't let the Hebrews go. It shows us how far God would go just to free his people by sending plaques, darkness into the town and making the spirits take the soul of the children who doesn't have blood painted on their door. Phoses then opened his eyes and let Moses people go.
His name is Ramses
I love the book of exodus it’s my favorite chapter in the Bible ❤️
I'm not even christian and here I am singing along to the damn soundtrack
@sir dog shit Abrahamic to be more accurate
The origin story is from the Jewish torah (the old testament) but Islam and Christianity believe that too . (It happend around 1213-1279 BC)
I wish they would’ve made more of these
They did. Joseph King of Dreams is a prequel, the story of Joseph is how the Children of Israel end up in Egypt, made with the same animation style. It's not quite as musically epic as Prince of Egypt, but it's still a good watch.
@@TheStartrek99 I seen that I need more tho 😭
They did
@@TheStartrek99 They could’ve done Samson, I think that would be an awesome story to tell
@@luispalao7418 True, though Sampsons story ends on a realy harsh downbeat. Whereas Joseph King of Dreams and The Prince of Egypt are both epics, Simpsons story would be a tragedy. It would have been interesting to see how DreamWorks handled that.
When I was a kid I absolutely LOVED this movie and was one of my favorites. Now I rewatch it at 16 and this scene scared me and I couldn’t stop crying for how afraid I was for the whole movie
Why were you so scared

“Once I thought the chance to make you laugh was all I ever wanted.” Oh, I am in shambles. 😭💔
I love this movie although this movie was made before I was born
I'm not sure how it being made before you were born impacts how you'd feel about it
This for me was the saddest n most heart breaking in the movie .how Moses love and adored his adopted parents and his brother whom he love so much n wished God chose another to serve as the foe to his brother n his former nation..cos it was his own home he grew up with everyone around and knows everyone of them ..personally and seeing them suffer and their children(first born died) and in agony and how much it kills him inside but he has also received a Duty from God . I can hardly imagine how much it must have been for them both after all we can never deny our emotions though we have our own duty to attend to. I always felt so sorry for them both
Nah when Moses added that “Thus say, the Lord” adlib was heat 😭
the people who made this song will forever go down in history because the voices and the harmonizing even the instruments are all amazing this is a beautiful crafted movie. I love it!
2020 and still watching this masterpiece.

Bro….i didn’t understand this movie as a kid but when this song came up o.o I remember immediately loving this movie and wanted a better understanding of what was going on
Beautiful scene, perfect song
Something I really like about this song, is the fact that the chorus is god speaking, I think it's a cool detail as he's many voices and it seems only Moses is able to hear it.
I can’t stop crying this song is always so good!!!!!
Dream works this was a masterpiece this is my favorite song through the whole movie it sums up with god can do when you are stubborn and won’t listen
Yeah. Or what God can do when he's hardened your heart so you have no choice but to be stubborn and not listen. Because that was part of God's plan. Loving, isn't it.
@@Vindsus86 The sun hardens the mud. But is is the fault of the sun that mud is hardened because of its heat?
@@Vindsus86if God bothers you so much, don't you think you should try, I don't know, TALKING TO HIM? Yes, I commented on another of your comments, but why go into the comments and start up with your opinions in the first place? Please reread the Bible, namely from the chapters of Joseph (the King of Dreams) up until Moses' birth. You'll see that God wasn't being a big meanie or just punishing people for no reason. The Isrealites became too numerous for Ramses I and he enslaved them. Right off the bat, you attacked God's chosen people. So, how do you react to someone taking your child? Rainbows and glitter? No, torture and death to those who harm your kids. Same goes with God. If you hurt His chosen people, there are consequences. Blasphemy is nothing more than the enemy sewing seeds of hate towards God, and you've been allowing the vines to grow with hate and dissent. If you choose to speak to Him, and actually try to listen, I'm pretty positive you would hear from Him.
Watching those kids hiding in the corner in fear always gets me.

@@elviagutierrez2694 what
When directors puts love in their films will bring forth a masterpiece that will shock the entire world in amazement.
As a kid the quiet chanting in the beginning really scared me. But now I've come back to this song and man, how foolish I was!
2 hostages were saved I feel this song
They did so good with the animation bro
Fun fact, the movie is directed by the same guy that directed An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We're Back: A Dinosaur Story, and Balto. Kinda funny how the director progressed his work during the 90's.
Always scared me as a child. As a Catholic person, this still scared me. And to think this is a children’s movie and this is the more appropriate version. Imagine how scary the famine was. Boils. Bug and the rest of the plagues. The power in this scene alone send chills. The musical score in this movie is also amazing. I love this movie so much.
I mean, the power of God is something to fear, but only if you aren't trying to actively follow the Lord/Jesus. Which definitely wasn't what Ramses was doing.
This was such a good movie, and I liked Joseph King of Dreams as well. But nothing will top Prince of Egypt.
This song got me to finally watch the movie and man there’s so many good movies and I feel like this is still going in my top 5
When the profesor you get along with doesn't wanna let the class go:
Memories 😭💜
Damn this song is powerful
All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride hits hard
My brother and I grew up with this movie and we still act it out at times! My brother plays Moses and I play Rameses!!
It’s such a phenomenal piece!!!
Let me tell you something, if god told me to free his people I won't even hesitate, i will let people go and i will do everything what he says.
Even after all these years, this is the darkest Dreamworks has ever gotten. And damn, they did it right.
As someone that grew up in a house that serves the Lord, and now as a grownan, this movie was a slapper. Extremely underrated if only because of the subject of the Bible. Still a good movie.
I think people love this movie so much because it is more focused on telling a great story, instead of preaching.
But they still hear the gospel
@@someoneyoullknow4077 which is why it's so good

This song never truly left my head, sometimes when I'm alone I randomly yell "I WILL NOT LET YOUR.....LET MY PEOPLE GO!"
Years later and to me, this still remains one of the greatest animatic and musical pieces of all time. Such an awesome movie and it really did justice to the original Biblical account, despite some omissions. Loved God's portrayal in this film as well
Atheist but I genuinely enjoyed this movie it was so good.
I miss these days, this movie’s so nostalgic
This is amazing
Moses: brother, you have letma
Ramasis: letma?
Moses: letma people go
I am now older and still love this song❤
This is amazing- only complaint is I wish they lip synced to their solos!! It’s kinda confusing on who sings on the first watch
It isn’t if you’ve watched the movie, besides it’s better cinematically for it to be their internal monologue
This part always makes me cry! But it needed to happen.
6 year old me in class after being the only one to go to Sunday school that week.
This is the most epic movie of all time.
I'm a bit of an atheist, I used to be a full believer, but this will always be one of my favorite movies that I learned from, besides reading the bible and learning from what my religion taught me. I really love this movie and I always played this a bunch of times back then, it's really nostalgic lol. The songs are amazing too!!
This whole soundtrack and movie was and is so epic
I’m no detective, but I think God wanted Him to let his people go.
