Badd Medicine here and its reaction time
In this animated retelling of the Book of Exodus, Egyptian Prince Moses (Brenda Chapman), upon discovering his roots as a Jewish slave, embarks on a quest to free his people from bondage. When his plea is denied by his brother Rameses (Steve Hickner), the new pharaoh, a series of horrific plagues strike Egypt. Moses finally leads the Israelites to freedom by parting the Red Sea and drowning the Egyptian army. God then gives Moses the Ten Commandments, a list of rules for his people to live by.

[@tjnguyen8546]

They changed a few things for the movie, but the creators met with Islamic, Jewish, and Christian religious leaders to get their takes before finalizing anything. The two big ones are the fact that Moses has a stutter so Aaron had to speak for him, and Ramses would have been Moses's uncle rather than his brother because Moses was actually adopted by the Pharoah's daughter. To make the story more relatable, though, especially for non-religious audiences, they decided to make the brother-to-brother conflict a central theme between Moses/Ramses AND Moses/Aaron. So I think the changed were still super respectful of the source material, whether we're talking about the Bible, the Quran, or the Torah.

[@chinyereugwu9431]

True and true. It tells a story rather than actively instilling a thought like a lot of other religious media. The way they told the story was also very much in line with Christian and Judaic teachings without taking from either faith. I have no experience with Islam but I get the impression this isn't too impactful in their religion up until the new land portion which it seems only militant muslims get aggressively vocal about.

Something to note about Moses' youth according to scripture (Exodus 2:7-10): Although his mother gave him up to save his life, she would later be allowed to nurse him and take care of him as he grew up. Maybe with this knowledge from the scriptures, the creators of the story of the POE, formulated the aspect of Moses meeting his sister who sung their mother's lullaby. If we think of it in that way, then as Moses' mother continued to nurse him and care for him past infancy, he may have remembered the melody of the lullaby. Hence his reaction when Miriam sang to him, even if in the movie it looks like he was only with his mother the first few months of his life. Hope this helps!

I was moved beyond words when I was a child and now as an adult, get so emotional by the music and animation. I personally don’t think it was too heavy for a child to watch, as I was one of them who experienced it for the first time. It gives a true and honest account of the biblical story and I do think the movie is a masterpiece. I don’t think a biblical story can be portrayed respectfully if not shown historical accurately (some parts aren’t, but the majority is).

One of the reasons this movie is so amazing to me is the way the portray rameses and Moses’s relationship. They were brothers and they loved each other, rameses was willing to do anything for Moses and then Moses ran away (understandably). And then we he returns rameses is so happy to see his brother that he thought was lost to him just to realize that Moses is not there for the reason he thinks and they’re strangers. And equally for Moses after he left rameses hardened and turned into another version of his father and he isn’t the same person Moses knew. And with the Passover like that’s Moses’s nephew and the pain that caused must have been unreal, and for rameses because he now believes the person he knew as his brother has killed his son. Even though Moses was adopted their relationship was strong and I think it adds to the message and makes it even more compelling and complex. Such an amazing AMAZING movie. The brother relationship is done so well, it makes the story even deeper to show and explain the internal conflict both of them were probably facing. When rameses says that’s the ONLY reason you returned, Rameses has probably been thinking about him for years wondering if he’s alive and their relationship is immediately and forever changed and Moses has obviously kept him in his thoughts because he kept the ring but he can’t even say he came to see his brother. When Moses was the only person rameses could confide in and be himself and trust. And for Moses to have to see his childhood home and people he knew laid to waste, losing the brother he had in rameses😭 rameses calling out for him like he did when Moses left the last time but for different reasons now. They did this so well. I could talk about the lyrics and scenes and the story FOREVER. The intentionality of it all is unmatched. And the music just ughhhhhhh

Generally speaking, it's not taught that Moses was saved by G-d specifically to do this, but chosen by merit of his character as an adult. I love that they consulted both Christian AND Jewish scholars when making this movie, and you can see him experiencing both agony and resolve during The Plagues. He never once feels happy about doing this. It's about justice, not revenge. (Which is a truly excellent moral regardless of whether you're a biblical literalist, realist, or skeptic)

It's a great story, but a story is all it is. The archaeological records doesn't supoport it. With Amun-her-khepeshef, the son depicted dying her living to adulthood. Remains in KV5 suggest he died in battle from the blow of a mace.

[@janelemoon]

The song track of this movie is always oiling my soul! Thank you for watching it and sharing it with us!

[@darkphoenix6807]

This movie was beautiful. The music was emotional and I cry every time they show the waters parting. As someone who believes the biblical story actually happened, it’s beautiful to see the scope of it.

[@AuntK68]

The scene where the angel of death kills all of the firstborn was so simply but powerfully done at the same time. Very moving when seen in the theater.

For my viewing story, I grew up in church and served as an altar boy and did children’s choir for years but became an atheist in my later high school and college years. I came to faith in Jesus at 25 and immediately felt called to ministry. I barely got into ministry school and seminary because of my past grades, but in one of my early classes for preparation to ministry in 2002, we discussed our calling to ministry and the teacher show the burning bush clip from Prince of Egypt. I loved the clip so much I went out and bought the movie right after class. I have loved it ever since. My four kids have all watched it many times, and they all love it, even today, at ages 8 to 17. They watched this reaction with me, as they have seen many of your reactions on a wide variety of movies, and they were very interested to see your guys’ take on it. I even showed the movie to our adult Sunday school class when we were doing a study in exodus, probably around 2018, since not everyone had seen it. Still love the acting, animation, story, and music to this day. There are some slight differences to the biblical story, like Aaron’s role a bit reduced, for example, but overall, it’s a favorite animation movie with others like Lion King for me.

[@diamcole]

I used to watch this and Joseph: King of Dreams nonstop when I was younger haha! Glad to see you react to it.

[@MrPhotosh00ter]

As a religious person and someone who just likes seeing the telling of historical stories (even when some liberties are taken), I'd love to see you watch Ben-hur and The Ten Commandments. Even Cleopatra from 1963, Samson and Delilah from 1950, and David and Bathsheba from 1951. Something about that era of movies just captures me and I'd love to see more reactions to the classics.

[@sarahmattingly6971]

I was thinking the same thing while watching this reaction!

[@sptheprodigy_0398]

He remembered the lullaby subconsciously. He was humming it toward the beginning of the movie when he was walking through the palace, so it’s in there somewhere

[@TReynard11]

"This is one of the heavier animated films we've watched." You need to watch Grave of the Fireflies.

[@Nojustno592]

“When you believe” was sung afterwards by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, that’s why you thought you recognized it as a 90s song.

[@denanebergall5514]

Now y'all definitely need to watch The Ten Commandments. It's a classic that must be seen.

[@sarahmattingly6971]

And then Ben Hur!

[@denanebergall5514]

@@sarahmattingly6971 Amen!

[@Cattensu]

This movie was Jeffrey Katzenberg's way of showing that western animation did not have to be soft. That it was not just for kids. It was a massive middle finger to Disney, and the next movie they put out in theaters was Shrek if I am remembering correctly. Which was also a dunk on the Disney formula. Katzenbreg wanted to do this movie when it worked for Disney. But they did not think it would work. So when he founded DreamWorks it was like the first thing on his list to make.

[@spazzyshortgirl23]

Nope; antz, road to el dorado, chicken run preceded shrek

[@Cattensu]

@@spazzyshortgirl23 Road to El Dorado is older. Really. That's cool to know. I knew Antz was older. Pretty sure it was DreamWorks first movie. And Chicken Run was not made by them just distributed I believe so I don't really count it. And of course King of Dreams was straight to video.

[@melodylake18]

I grew up on this movie and like to watch it every Passover, and listen to the music often. The animation is absolutely incredible and the cast is fantastic. They did actually make it into a Broadway show in the West End in London, but ultimately its run was cut short due to COVID (I had tickets but due to the pandemic couldn’t go). Luckily they did film it and it’s on BroadwayHD.

[@johnbeast4992]

I got to see this movie in the theaters, and it was so powerful to me I remember crying more than once. Thank you for doing this reaction guys, this is a really great movie.

[@SchneiderRammGirl]

I've read & learnt about it back in my school days, but actually watching those heavy scenes that happened gives it a whole different feel, agree that water animation was nicely done & I always like listening to your positive words of how a random act of kindness can make all the difference to someone's day as that's 100% true ❤

[@kjlucky6501]

The babies thrown to the crocodiles traumatized me as a kid😭

[@PROVOCATEURSK]

If god wanted it to stop it would stop. God loves death. Don´t forget in those times 50% of children didn´t reach age 5. God´s love, am I right?

[@lindsaysmith4208]

I am very religious, a huge fan of y’all channel and was really excited to see this reaction! To answer your question yes this was definitely a movie that was regularly watched and played in Sunday school and my Christian elementary school. I didn’t know anyone who didn’t absolutely love this movie growing up. It is still one of my all-time favorites, but I know several people who are no longer practicing Christians who still love this movie and I know a lot of Jewish people love it too! The pharaoh being portrayed as Moses brother the rest of the story is pretty accurate. Moses was raised as a prince of Egypt, but it never states that Pharoh was his brother when he came back to free the Israelites

[@Iris-bn1xw]

12 minutes in and Oak still hasn't recognized Ralph Fiennes :-P Wonder how long it will take!

[@Iris-bn1xw]

It was 35:31 haha!

[@spaceshiplewis]

This was Dreamworks Animation's second film (the first being Antz, a rushed rival for PIXAR'S A Bug's Life). This was truly a masterpiece for the animators of Dreamworks who really showed Disney that they were a real rival.

[@RiverPond11]

Something that will always making me cry in this movie is the brothers essentially being ripped apart. Moses knowing it's the right thing to do but it's his brother! He loves him & he would never want to do anything to hurt him. For Ramesses, all he knows is his brother ran off & is missing for years. They finally meet again & he's so happy & excited to see his brother, only for Moses to start a seemingly random crusade against him & all he's work for. Pre Moses leaving, he would've been Ramesses' right hand man in leading & ruling Egypt. When they are singing The Plagues, their lines towards each other HURT Moses: "Once I called you brother Once I thought the chance To make you laugh Was all I ever wanted" "And even now I wish that God Had chose another Serving as your foe on his behalf Is the last thing that I wanted" Ramesses: "You who I called brother How could you have come to hate me so?" These lyrics alone just hit me & hurt so bad. Then I think about if I was in Moses' place against my siblings... I truly could cry just from that. Great movie though! Lol

[@bridgethaines7127]

When You Believe was done for the soundtrack as a radio release by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston and got quite a bit of airplay

[@k1nser]

I am not religious but come from a very religious household and I absolutely loved this movie as a child- I would always asked my mom to turn it on for the music- and love it even more now. I still to this day believe it is one of the best western animated movies to exist. P.S. There's another movie that isn't as well known, not as much of a passion project, but still enjoyable with good music & storytelling- Joseph King of Dreams

[@alexbrunner1900]

I’ve loved this movie since I was little and it holds up still to this day

[@SlytherinGirl5505]

This movie was my childhood. Even as a kid I knew it was somethin' different. The music alone plays in my head rent free. And the cast...need I say more?

[@melindamercier6811]

To Oak’s question: my little sister was about 6 when she saw this movie in the theatre. It caused her to ask about death and it became a great point of conversation about death and what happens when we die. Being Christians, it was obviously approached from a biblical perspective and she was fine after all the chats we had as a family.

[@MsPaatkaa]

3 Potterheads and nobody realizes Voldemort being Ramses ❤😂

[@toastysock]

The song might sound familiar cause Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston made it chart! Also a bit of history: The Egyptians had slaves, yes, but the pyramids and a lot of other tombs and religious monuments were built by hired workers. They lived near their building sites and were paid in bread and beer. A lot of them died, but they had the extreme honour of being buried near their building sites/tombs of their Pharaoh. So it was huge for 'em. Gotta remember the bible was written thousands of years after all this went on, so.

[@rodgill9376]

I grew up being raised by Muslim father and a Christian mother. As I got older, I grew to have contempt for these mainstream religions and basically became an atheist. Despite my said contempt towards them, I still have fond memories of The Prince of Egypt. Used to watch it all the time and certain parts still gets me from time to time. Even if you’re not a religious person, you can still watch and enjoy this film for what it is and understand the context of the messages it was trying to convey. It is both tragic and yet, heartwarming at the same time. Take Ramses for example. He’s definitely an example of a tragic figure. While we do not agree or approve of his actions, we understand them. He is the result of his father’s mistakes and the approval of his expectations to follow his example. He didn’t have a choice but to follow those rules. But he also didn’t consider the reality of his actions. His pride and resentment ended up being his downfall. It’s very sad.

[@chillnatty.2092]

Grew up watching this movie in Sunday school, we loved it! My favorite part of this movie was the depiction of Moses and Ramses relationship.

This was shown in church all the time during Sunday school. This was definitely used as a “teaching tool” 💯

This is why I like The Oak. The humanity and heart in that man. Almost every movie where a child or young person was hurt or dies he had a troubled reaction. Loved the reaction guys.

Nevermind, just got to the part after the credits where you found out xD.

[@19jacinta88]

Props to you for making it through without tearing up. I'm in tears already at the first song!!

[@CarAmeL624]

This is my all-time fave animated film to date. The art and animation is truly breathtaking for '98. The music and voice acting outstanding. One change they made that I loved was making Rameses and Moses brothers. Story and thematically, it allows for the story to make a lot of sense why the Pharoah would be upset at what was happening and still favor Moses enough not to kill him immediately. This will always be a 5/5 movie for me!

[@OzKitty]

Loved this movie. They made another one called Joseph Kind of Dreams. Its wonderful as well.

[@notyourjack]

To answer Oak's question about kids watching this in the 90s, we 100% were. I was about 4 when it came out and we'd watch it in the church's nursery, at home, at our christian school, all the time. There are lots of fun tik toks made by millenials about the movie's - especially the music's - impact on us.

[@Imshortitsok06]

Such a powerful decision to tell the story through the relationship of two brothers and their opposing destinies. It makes it that much more tragic to see how close Ramses and Moses were before they were adversaries. The internal struggle of Moses is shown so brilliantly.

[@stevenandcarminabeedle9089]

As far as small acts of kindness changing lives, there was an author or motivational speaker or something. Who shared a story at his high school graduation about how his best friend had saved his life. He wasn’t his best friend yet but he was walking home carrying all his school books and dropped them. The soon to be best friend helped him pick them up and maybe gave him a ride or something and they became friends. Idk but the point is that that action changed his mind about taking his life that day. He had all those books because he had cleaned out his locker so that his parents wouldn’t have to deal with it after he was gone. The best friend helped him pick up some books. And the guy decided to live. I can’t remember all the details of that story but I remember enough not to forget the impact what we think is a small gesture can have.

[@smileyjr4977]

Hope this means you guys will also do “Joseph King of Dreams!” ❤

This is honestly one of the best Looking animation movies. Everything is so smooth and fluid. It's wild. I wish movies were still done like this

[@melindamercier6811]

Oh, and that quote Oak reads from the Jethro’s song is foreshadowing about King David who was overlooked at first because he was simply a shepherd boy.
