The Story of Ofra Haza as Yocheved - The Making of Prince of Egypt & Deliver Us (1998)

In 1998, the newly founded animation studio, DreamWorks Animation decided to work on an animated musical drama focusing on the story of Moses from the Bible and the enslavement of the Hebrew people in Egypt.
At the suggestion of the great composer Hans Zimmer, Ofra Haza got to sing the opening theme of the movie "Deliver Us". Everyone in the studio was so fascinated by her beauty that the animators redrew Moses' mother, Yocheved, to be the likeness of Ofra.
This video is cut content. There are more interviews with Hans Zimmer and Jeffrey Katzenberg, which I cannot share here directly as those are from the documentary "Secrets: The Life & Death of Ofra Haza", which is blocked by UA-cam.

That's how I discovered Ofra Haza. I watched first the French version and I fell in love with her voice and accent so I became curious and was amazed by the fact she sang it in 17 languages!!!

I heard her first on the LP Shaday, which my mother owned. But later when I found out that it was her singing as Yocheved, I was amazed! ❤️ I heard "Deliver Us" first in Hungarian.
