"Deliver Us" is one of the most solid movie openings ever.
yeah i agree,i kinda feel like this and the bells of notredame are some of the best animated movie openings of all time
@@juansebastian8027best openings to any musical, as well
Especially when it has more truth to it than other movies with a song opening.
Sadly the reaction was wasted on talking about conspiracy theories lol
3:31
Interesting detail: as we can see, a hippo inadvertently saved Moses from a crocodile. Symbolically, the crocodile represents Sobek, the croc-headed god of the Nile and father of all crocodiles. And the hippopotamus represents Taweret, the hippo-headed goddess of female fertility, birth, and is the protector of children.
Fascinating insight!
Wait that’s absolutely amazing that’s a beautiful detail 🥹🥹
Lol no boy
Also hippos kill more people than sharks, so they were still dangerous
Not inadvertently. It is told that God made the animals & birds guard baby Moses. That's why, btw, you can see the birds above...
This may just be the most underrated film DreamWorks has ever released. The animation is incredible, it follows the story as written in the Bible almost verbatim, the score is perfect, (infact, this movie won an Oscar for Best original score,) and the bond, turned rivalry, turned hatred between Moses and Rameses was so fantastically and maturely written. Nothing the studio has released since has quite topped this in terms of pure cinematic scale.
I wouldn’t say “verbatim,” however, the things they did follow accurately are portrayed in the most beautiful and inspired way imaginable!
@@thechad4485 yeah, they took some creative liberty sometimes
also the scene where Moses speaks to the burning bush
so good
and they got the race of the people correct unlike disney !
I guess if they stuck to the original story exactly, it'd be quite awkward for a kids movie, Moses was actually 80 when he came back to Egypt, and in the real story he is raised partially by his mother.
Man, the scene with the Angel of Death scooping up the souls of the firstborn still haunts me. The complete lack of music, the sound effect of their souls leaving their bodies in an exhale, and the cries of the parents afterwards
Dude, same! When i first saw it as a kid, i was gobsmacked. Didn't really like misty weather for a while :P
It was not the Angel of Death- it was God himself!
It wasn't an angel of death! That was God! There is no angel of death (unless you're counting Lucifer)
The fact that it’s so peaceful as well. It’s eery, haunting, but it is quick and merciful. That’s the part that hits me in the gut each time.
@@hannahcurran327 yes, compare to what Satan influenced the Pharaoh did to the Hebrew kids, they were taken away , threw into the Nile river and got eaten by crocodiles, that is what haunt me. For the Pharaoh's kid, I don't feel that bad for him, when watched the soldiers went to Moses with sword, he smiled, he enjoyed it, he enjoyed it on the hardship of others. This is only God taking revenge for what happened to Hid people
Fun fact, they made a few changes to simplify the timeline of the story, but when baby Moses was followed by his sister she spoke up and they were able to have Moses's real mom take care of him until he was no longer a baby. Then he was raised by Pharoah's daughter (not wife)
This movie is truly a masterpiece and one of my all time favourites. Val Killer and Ralph Fiennes do exceptional jobs as Moses and Rameses. The soundtrack is also so incredible
29:30 I think in his father's eyes he would have been the weak link if he broke the cycle, that's part of the reason why he didn't let them go sooner.
The Hebrew verses at the end of When You Believe always gets me emotional.
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah x2
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)
Beautiful
This movie brought Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey together. Classic off that alone
Mulan says, 'would you like to stay for dinner?'
And grandma hollers from off screen 'would you like to stay forever!!?!?'
😂
And that was after she said, after seeing Chang: "Whoa, sign me up for the next war!"😂
*A)* Not only was Val Kilmer Batman and the voice of Moses
*B)* Not only was Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman and the voice of Tzipporah
*C)* Not only was Christian Bale the second Batman to play Moses
*D)* Not only was Han Zimmer behind the musical score of both Batman & Moses
*E)* Not only is Penguin Reverse-Moses in Batman Returns
*F)* Not only is PoE my favorite movie of all time, and Batman, my favorite character of all time (and Exodus, my favorite Bible story)
*G)* But Batman's creator (as well as Superman's creators) is also Jewish
When did christian bale play moses?
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 in Exodus: Gods and Kings
@@phoenixwing5133 I musta missed that one.
It's a pretty mid ridley Scott movie, but fairly interesting as a revisionist history piece
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this movie, but still get chills at the Red Sea scene every time: The animation is gorgeous, and the musical cues are brilliant. What an amazing film; such magnificent music and heart… absolutely love it.
Live action Prince Of Egypt is basically The Ten Commandments (1956) starring Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Rameses.
Even that was a remake of the black and white TTC film made also by DeMille years earlier.
Ironically a set built for the 50s version was buried in sand for decades until a recent storm uncovered it again.
Not to mention exodus: gods and kings
One of the best classics ever made. You can enjoy in any generation.
I’m glad guys took this seriously. Other reactors make it seem like this film is a complete joke.
25:54 The walk itself wasn't too long, but they rebelled against Moses so God made them stall in the desert for 40 years.
And most people died at 40 - 50 years old so yeh
Where they were bitten by snakes
I've always been taught it was 40 years so that it was a new generation that hadn't ever experienced the bondage of slavery who made it to the promised land.
@@YoYoWaddupBroboth are true
I saw this one in theaters! It was absolutley magical and one of my favorite animated films of all time! The character design, the story crafting, the songs, the visual language, the voice acting, and the cast, everything is so well done. Still brings tears to my eyes.
Another classic to check out is Cecil B. Demille's 1950's classic live action epic, "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Rameses.
Same. I went back two more times because it's such an experience; the music and everything else. One of my favourite animated films.
Crazy to think Moses was 80 years old when he went back making his siblings older like in their 100s
Also the curses God sent to the Egyptian was also spitting on their gods and trashing them. The river is a Egyptian god that God of the Israel killed hence the blood
“There’s so many of them, they could have revolted.”
That’s exactly why Ramses’ father killed all those babies in the beginning. To reduce the numbers.
There are some good videos discussing Ramesses in this film - he was doomed to fail no matter what he did. Letting the Hebrews go would have brought his kingdom to ruin regardless of whether he did it willingly or not. A truly tragic character on a Shakespearean level.
I find it interesting watching the biblical narrative of Pharaoh because this story is also told in the Quran and according to that and Islam, Pharoah was the worst tyrant to ever walk this earth. He was a truly arrogant, evil person and the things he did to the Jews was absolutely inhumane and shocking. When you read about him in the Quran this guy was not redeemable at all and yet God sent Moses pbuh not just to save his people but also to give Pharoah a chance to repent and change his ways. And he refused, constantly and increased in his evil doing. And he will be in the hellfire in the hereafter for the things he did and for rejecting God. This movie made him a sympathetic character when really he was nothing like that at all
As it was said in the movie "No kindom should be built on the back of a slaves"
As a Christian this always makes me cry. Especially “look at your life through Heaven’s eyes” literal tears every time.
Also crazy fact: it took the animators 2 years to just do the parting of the sea. That is some great dedication.
Same bro! It always affects me!
As a fellow Christian, this is my favorite movie adaptation about a Bible story.
the intro music makes me tear up
the God of Might part...
That parting of the sea moment blew my mind as a kid, still get sense of wonder watching it now
Do you Christians realise who the God is that talks to moses...I'd you wonder then read quran. The only one god religion and it has the whole story of moses.
I have seen The Prince Of Egypt when I was kid in the 1998. I really love these movies.
Me too
25:54 40 years.
28:12 I like it when it hangs on that shot for a second almost as if Ramases is being dared to enter with his army.
Love the movie but I always find it kind of amusing how it ends just before Moses finds out the people have already turned to a false golden calf god during the time he spent getting the commandments.
Moses literally has to beg God to spare everyone because he's ready to just off them all, but also gathers some loyal men and has them kill thousands in retribution. That would have been a divisive ending so I get why it wasn't included.
I love the reverent tone throughout the movie and the incredible music
The best visual and Biblical representation of the plagues of any movie I’ve ever seen. I wish they had been able to include how Moses was cared for by his birth mother Jochebed as a baby thanks to Miriam’s bravery but I’m sure they can’t include everything. One of my fave’s!
There's a LOT this movie changes in regards to the original story (Moses' was 40 when he killed the Egyptian, and it was also done intentionally and not by accident, He was 80 when he was called by God at the burning bush, of course the detail you mentioned and subsequently the fact that Moses knew he was a Hebrew his entire life, the fact that Moses was not related to pharaoh in the Bible, Nor was the pharaoh ever said to be Ramses, and in fact the currently available evidence very much suggests that it wasn't, etc.) I don't think their goal was to be accurate per se, but to portray the highlights of the story in a way that was relatable to a wide audience, even to non-Christians.
That plague song gave me goosebumps from head to toe.
There is a live action version. It starred Charlton Heston and was called "The Ten Commandments." That movie does tell more of the story surrounding moses getting the ten commandments on mount sinai after the events of egypt though.
In THAT movie, he did meet his mother
@@danielanderson8322Yes.
A story, told by Jews, about an infant who was cast away from his home to be raised by someone else, who would grow up to be an inspirational figure using great powers to correct injustice, and the superhero you keep coming up with is... Batman?
Superman
There are two "live action" stories of Moses & the Exodus. 1 - The 10 Commandments with Charlton Heston, and 2- Exodus with Christian Bail
Lol the line Mulan’s grandma says when she sees Li Shang is, “Woo! Sign me up for the next war!” 😂
I adore this movie!! So glad you guys liked it!
Only want to correct the false impression that the pyramids were built by slaves, cause it's super common. Archaeologically, there is all the evidence against that. They are believed to have been built over a 20 (or more) year span by craftsmen, farmers, basically anyone who would come during the season when the Nile flooded so they can't do other work and be paid for their labor. Not a lot, I grant, but still, money, food, beer, and decent housing. [And I welcome corrections with evidence if I am wrong.]
But gawd damn this movie is so beautiful.
🙄
I say this as a compliment, they both have such inexpressive faces but their voices are so expressive and they tell you everything their feeling
The prequel, Joseph, King of Dreams is also very good.
17:06 There actually IS a live-action version of Moses' story! "The 10 Commandments," released in 1956 and it is *jaw-droppingly* AWESOME. It was revolutionary for the time, (and still stands the test of time imo) and actually won an Oscar for visual affects.
And DO NOT even get me STARTED on the scores or the actors and actresses. If the names Charlton Heston(Moses), Yul Brynner(Ramses), or Anne Baxter(Nefertari) mean anything to you, go watch it. Or watch it anyway, you will not regret it.
Having grown up with both these movies, I get such an overlap when I watch one or the other. They have a lot of differences, but so many similarities! I'm *pretty sure,* but I wont swear to it, that they based some of the details in this movie off of 10 Commandments. The Pharoah's affection for Moses, Moses chasing off those brigands beating up the little sisters, the Bleeding of the Nile, the Pilar of Fire, Ramses grieving his son, the Hebrews leaving Egypt, the Parting of the Red Sea, Ramses' ARMOR when chasing the Hebrews, they all give me similar feels.
I think watching both can help fill the stories out, I love the brotherhood depicted in this movie between Moses and Ramses and the EPICNESS of the Plagues, and I love the way the show how deeply Moses was integrated as a beloved Egyptian Prince and the slow way his worldview changed after discovering he was slave-born in the 1956 movie. (There are SO many thing the 1956 movie did so well on, I'll rant if I get into it too much, but the Angel of Death scene in that movie is So Dang CREEPY, it's borderline Nightmare-Fuel.)
But thanks for y'alls reaction to this! I always get giddy when I see people showing this movie love when it shaped so much of my childhood.💙🤗🥰
The great structures of Egypt where not built by slaves but paid construction workers. The image of slaves building those was created by Cecil B. DeMille and is a Hollywood myth. Slaves were mostly used for more day to day household chores and field work.
Camels also were not around Egypt back then (another Hollywood myth).
Small correction: The depiction of Hebrew slaves building the pyramids (and other structures) was popularized by Cecil B. DeMille and others but originated with Greek historian Herodotus. Many of his "facts" have now been proven to be false and he is sometimes referred to as "Father of Lies."
According to "modern" scholars...
This movie is great! Hope you two like it! 🙏🏽💪
This movie is heavily underrated
There was a live action telling of this story with Christian Bale as Moses. It's called EXODUS: Gods and Kings directed by Ridley Scott.
And, you know, The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston
Exodus was rubbish compared to Prince of Egypt
Yes, there's a live action version of Prince of Egypt. It's called The Ten Commandments.
Amazing how the Pharaoh can work this hard to try and get the slaves but can’t do any of the work they were doing himself
Because that is how it worked
Yes, congratulations, you understand slavery.
They have found remnants of Egyptian chariots in the Red Sea years back. The historical accuracy whether you believe in miracles or not is actually very incredible. 100k artifacts found and not 1 has disproven the Bible’s history.
There is so much you can do with 2D animation that you just can't do with live action or 3D animation. I wish there was more of it still being made.
I also recommend watching the spiritual successor/precursor to this Joseph: King of Dreams. For a longer, more in depth adaptation of the book of Exodus, I recommend watching The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston
The grandma from Mulan said these lines:
“Sign me up for the next war!” (When she sees Lee for the first time)
And then when he’s asked to stay for dinner: “can you stay forever?!”
😂 comedic gold😂
I don't think you guys have done a reaction to the Emperor's new groove! Maybe you guys have seen it already but, if not, definitely do! It's one of Disney's funniest movies! Watch Treasure Planet too!
The parting of Red Sea took 2 YEARS to animate. Amazing how much care went into that scene
you know something I never realized which is fascinating is that the 10th plague was actually Rameses fault coz he technically chose it by declaring that death was to be his next move so God just reversed the situation on him and made death the last plague.
I really love how the hugs went at the end. Tzipporah obviously went first because she was his wife, but seeing Aaron come around and give faith in adversary before even Miriam was so good for his character.
I'm not religious, but I've loved this movie since i was a kid. I think it's just very human, regardless of the religious source. So well written and animated. No emotion feels unjustified, and every shot is gorgeous. I miss animation like this.
You guys should consider watching Exodus: Gods and Kings, not technically a live action version of this movie, but the same telling of the story of Moses, with Christian Bale as Moses (if the Batman tie in helps)
A false telling of the story of moses who was BLACK not white.
@@melanatednegus174errrr....blacks came from Africa south of the Sahara, not Egypt or Judea
17:29 This is where the fun begins
"Is there a live action Prince of Egypt?" The Ten Commandments from the 40's or 50's? With Charlton Heston. It's 4-5 hours long
Really they would need 4 videos for it if it is that long
1956
There is actually a film about mosses with Christian Bale.
A classic in the history of animated cinema🥹
One of DreamWorks best animated movies
Yeah, but I prefer Joseph king of dreams, though this one is objectively better.
@@ncard00what are the things you like about Joseph better?
Rip Ofra Haza, voice of an angel. Icon.
The passover scen from this movie is one of the most hauntingly impactful scens I have ever seen in animation, it´s so simple and so impactful becus you hear this amazing powerful score throug out the enrtire movie but in that scen it´s silent and all you hear are the last breath of th children.
Man I love this movie! Blessed be the name of the Lord!
16:52
"Oooooo, sign me up for the next war!" 😂
"I hope he gets to see his mom again"
Me: Bro do you know the story of Moses.
Im Muslim and this is one of my all time favourites, I've lost count of how many times I've seen it but the music and certain scenes still give me chills. Such an underrated masterpiece 👏🏼
27:24 I think I read a long time ago that it took them two years to animate parting the sea
The final plague I've always took the way it sounds and how quickly it enters/exits a home as being like dying breath. I don't know if that's how it was intended.
If they had made a sequel, it would have been funny to see Moses breaking the first set of tablets after climbing down Mount Sinai. 😂
There are 15 commandments! Drops a tablet. 10 commandments - Mel Brooks, the History of the World, Part 1
Mulan: do you want to stay for dinner?
Grandma: Do you want to stay forever?
The “live action“ prince of Egypt is “The Ten Commandments“ it’s a movie from the 50s and worth a watch.
You're talking about one of hollywood's cinematic classics, mate. Probably the second greatest of its time, after Ben Hur.
The thing about this movie is it loved by people of all faiths. I’m Pagan and I adore this movie. Telling a religious movie and accomplishing that was quite an achievement.
I watched this movie very out of the blue and really loved how nicely this movie was made. They could do this for other ancient legends too
100% agreed!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE THE PRINCE OF EGYPT!!!!!
28:48 me too.
Most people don’t know that after he says let my people go god right after says so that they may worship god in the wilderness but we forget that part lol
26:25 All their children just died so I can understand their anger here.
There is a live action Prince of Egypt it's in this really obscure independently published book... I think it's called the Bible.
It is the Bible of old and New Testament.
Deeliiiiiiiiiiver uuuuuuuussss!
Thanks for reacting y'all!
When she first sees Shang, grandma says “sign me up for the next war” 😅
😂
But if the people who are fleeing their country pass through seven other countries before they get to their destination then they're not fleeing, they're moving illegally into another nation.
Boyz II Men’s “I Will Get There”, which plays during the closing credits is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
Such an awesome movie lol a Sunday school classic fr. God is good all the time.
yeah guys, if the plagues were his wonders, imagine how bad it'd be if there was his wrath
That's Sodom and Gomorrah, where just looking at it kills you
The flood
They never mentioned that God told Moses that the 10th plague would come from Pharaohs own mouth. The reason Moses tries to stop Ramses from speaking (28:01) is so he won’t curse HIMSELF
17:07 look up the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston
An animated retelling of The Ten Commandments
I also just learned that every plague was not random, but a symbol from God that he is above and over anything, even mocking the false gods of egypt.
Indeed.
And the Final Plague was brought upon Egypt by Rameses own mouth.
Fun fact: historically the Hebrews were never slaves in Egypt. They were highly respected as scholars and architects due to their own integral knowledge of mathematics at the time. It is even thought they were assigned slaves or “assistants” that were bound to them, usually given because of the respect they had garnered thru their exceptional work. They were paid in higher quality food & drink as well as a small salary, given better more private housing than the actual slaves who were probably from southern Egypt / Sudan (at the time Egyptians were very distinct from other subsaharan Africans) While the slaves were housed in group dorms and paid in bread/grain and beer. Jews were constantly arriving and then being hired to oversee architectural projects and then usually left back north or stayed and lived well as wealthy and respected visitors. I’m unsure if they were given full citizenship because I think that required being of the Egyptian religion. But they did enjoy some amount of respect on the social hierarchy and could come and go from the Levant and Egypt as they wished, usually returning home after amassing their own slaves & and some savings.
This has been discovered and agreed upon by many modern studies and scholars. This one thing (along with others) brings large doubt upon biblical historical accuracy which we have trusted for years because of the overwhelming prevalence of the Bible thru history. But along with the fact Jews were not enslaved by the pharaohs, and a few other modern revelation’s, brings into question a lot of the historical accuracy of the Torah / Old Testament specifically. For example, king David is not referred to by any secular historical documents except for one stone tablet, but only used as a patriarchal name for the Jewish group, which at the time the tablet was written he could’ve very well already been established as a mythical figurehead. There’s no evidence he existed, which is odd as other groups around the Hebrews would have taken note of a conqueror of King David’s caliber. Another piece of info is the heavy evidence that Judaism, like other Canaanite tribal religions, was originally polytheistic, and Yahweh was a war god of the sky, but only one of many gods. The Judaic pantheon of gods existed for much longer than originally thought, right up until the middle of the Babylonian exile, where we see an accelerated change in the Hebrew culture, naming conventions, and religion. When they returned from the Babylonian exile, they had dropped all the other gods and we see a lot of the earliest foundations of judaism as we know it.
The Hebrew singer in the movie, Ofra Haza, had a very sad story. She died 2 years after the movie at the age of 42 from AIDS, after hiding it and not receiving treatment because she was ashamed of having it.
Correction: her husband didn't let her get the treatment. cause if she did, they would found out he was a cheating liar since she was a virgin when she married the asshole. and since you could not get aids from the air, everyone would have known he was cheating on her. so it mostly her husband fault.
It took the animators 2 years just to animate the entire red sea scene.
The live action is called The Ten Commandments 1956
Top 3 animated movie ALL TIME along with Lion King & Aladdin
Love this movie and the music is excellent!❤
I truly Digg animation when he finds out who he really is!
The trailer was like the best thing and the song that they paid for it was beautiful
2 years my friends… the animation of the parting of the Red Sea took 2 years to complete
17:00 mulan’s grandma said, sign me up for the next war and would you like to stay forever? 27:04 it takes 3 years to 3D animated the Red Sea opening.
Is there a live action prince of Egypt. Yes its called the 10 commandments starring Charlton Heston.
I watched this in the theatre back in the winter of '98. The staff at Dreamworks did a beautiful job bringing this story to life, and making its adaptations to the narrative work. Stephen Schwartz's lyrics are one of my favourite parts of this musical movie, especially "Through Heaven's Eyes", sung by Brian Stokes Mitchell.
Although I appreciate the film's focus on slavery and the misery it brings, it's worth remembering that God's main motivation for freeing the Hebrews from Egypt wasn't to eliminate slavery. He wanted primarily to keep his promise to their ancestors, by establishing them as an independent people in Canaan. While it's inspiring to hear Moses say that "no kingdom should be built on slavery", it's a hard cold fact that just about every kingdom was back then. Israel was no exception. A concerted effort to stamp out slavery certainly didn't begin with Moses' people; in fact, it wouldn't start until over 2000 years later in our world.
And no indeed, human rights were not a consideration in Moses' day. Nearly every society accepted slavery as a fact of life, and thought nothing of how degrading it was for people to be treated like property. It was simply what happened to those who were poor and unlucky and (in the eyes of many) abandoned by the gods. So even though the Bible doesn't present the Exodus an act of abolition, it's still significant that God supported slaves in opposition to a king. It provided insight into an aspect of the Creator's character -- as someone who cares about the poor and lowly -- and would inspire religious groups in the abolition movement much, much later.
Finally, while the film plays up the pathos of countless Egyptian children dying at the hands of God during the final plague, it's very possible that the firstborn children in many households were probably already adults. Although I'll admit that would've been no comfort to their families.
Isreal never build on slaves, though. the jews come and work on the land with their OWN hands! and they still called it the promise land, it never changes since Moses story even today when they pray. Since they know what it means to be a slave, this is why they wonder for 40 years before reaching the promise land. and there is a reason why they keep re-told this story again and again every year. to remember not to do what others did to them and remember that this is their promise land despite all the hard time they get in it. once you remember and told your history again and again you won't repeat it. that's the point.
The 10 commandments is a live action version :)
"Sounds like Patrick Stewart."
Lol... that's because it is! 😂
Also, Ramseys is voiced by Voldemort.
There is a Broadway Musical version for purchase/streaming
Definitely one of the movies you have to see, at least once! Even if do not believe or don't particularly care about the religious context, this movie has a way of sticking with you. One of the best animated movies of all time! Dreamworks at it's peak!
In the scenes with God sending all the plagues, that was a message to Egypt sayin "your gods is false Cus, I'M HIM"
Each plague did insult an Egyptian god in some way
I have seen it I grew up watching it when I was little, so I was 5 when it came out but didn't see till I was like 9 or 10, my grandparents had the vhs tape and whenever I came over I watched it alot despite of the scary images
22:45 the dark part is its not end other empires will come (literally) so its not even near happy ending till centuries later
