It's nice to see the human side, even though the Pharaoh is Moses' brother and had a 'cold heart', you can still feel that this hard-heartedness is part of his suffering, so we don't see him as 2-dimensional.

Ofra Haza was a famous singer from Israel who also had much popularity in Europe.She fused pop with the music of her Yemenite origins, creating a unique, yet addictive fusion never heard before. With this music's combination with her wonderful voice, she became legendary, enough so that she was chosen not only to be the voice of Yocheved in the Prince of Egypt in 17 languages, but also to have the character based on her own looks. Sadly, Ofra passed away in 2000 due to AIDS from her husband.

This movie is such a huge part of my childhood and heart. I may not believe and have the faith I had as a child, but this movie still brings me to tears. "I am the god of your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." That voice to me still makes me cry, and in my mind, that is god. Even if it is an actor in a studio. This is the god I was told loved me so much, and the god I wish so much I could feel again. Movies like this make me wish so much that he was real, as the kind, loving generous being I was brought up to believe, not the vengeful, awful, tyrant he's been found to be.

[@that_vivian]

Survante, I don't know what kind of experiences you have had in life to make you believe that, but God IS that loving, kind and merciful being that you thought He was when you were young. This world has distorted your image of Him, but even so He's still there for you, waiting for you to turn back to Him, so that He can show you His wonders. It's not too late to go back to Him, He hasn't given up on you, because He loves you with a love that no human could begin to understand and his faithfulness to those who Trust in Him is from everlasting unto everlasting.

[@lnsullivan422]

But he is kind. He is generous. God is love.

He is real, and He loves you- His child- with all of His heart. He honestly wants the best for you. Im genuinely confused why you say that God is vengeful, tyrannical, ect. Im not trying to preach or be churchy, but based off my experiences with God, and that I know His character from building a relationship with Him, your statement honestly makes no sense to me. God is the MOST loving person I've ever known. Why do you feel He's vengeful and awful?

[@ayolovephat]

I don't know what you've gone through in life but I appeal to you to not get it twisted : GOD IS NOT a vengeful tyrant. HE is a GOD of justice, judgement, righteousness and holiness as much as HE is a GOD of love, mercy, kindness and patience. We don't condemn judges who dispense appropriate, lawful judgements to people who have been found to have committed crimes, why should we expect GOD to be any less?

25 years later I find that hard to believe for something beautiful.

[@babyhercules9875]

I think that no one could portray Moses as well as Val Kilmer, this is hands down the best portrayal of Exodus

[@jiniu4083]

Wait. Stephen Spielberg?!?!?!? Dude. Schindler's list. Prince of Egypt?.... Incredible.

[@icrystaljay]

shoutout to no one telling me that sandra bullock was in this movie. in retrospect, it was obvious.

[@Mintie365]

Right, the voice was incredibly familiar

[@manuelorozco7760]

Even though this was my first glimpse of her talent, it was The Blind Side that made me a fan of Sandra

[@jonvianna8970]

Helen Mirren always likes the idea of playing queen? Well, she sure was telling the truth!

[@rippletea7143]

I love Val Kilmer so much. The fact he doesn’t even have this beautiful voice anymore breaks my heart.

[@annemchurchwell]

Still watching and loving the soundtrack in 2022, I have loved this movie since 98 and I love introducing my children to this awesome movie.

[@amdcynth100]

The burning bush is the best scene

[@barbaro267]

BY FAR. The second half of that scene has no dialogue. It's Hans Zimmer's beautiful score to visuals of Moses retelling what he had just experienced to his wife. It's so GOOD!

[@Carriedmusic]

Cry every time!

[@cbi1991]

Prince of Egypt is in the top ten of the best movies ever made. the movie is a work of art. I have never heard such beautiful song writing . the animation has a style and warmth that is rare and original. Simply outstanding and unforgettable.

[@jonvargas7837]

Man y’all don’t understand how much I really really loved this film!!!!

[@sueross7492]

I watch this over and over! Our God is SO faithful. Everyone involved in making this movie - THANK YOU so very much!!!!

[@persgodiva]

The movie is a masterpiece. I'm not religious, so I don't see it from that perspective at all. But the animation! The art! The freaking MUSIC! So wonderful!

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

The songs are Schwartz's BEST bar none!! I do love Wicked very much, but this movie and it's music and songs are something truly special, this is proof that Schwartz can write just as well as Menken(whom I also adore to death) when he truly has the support system backing him up! Disney was unsupportive of him during this time in life in his life which is stupid and utterly cold hearted considering he had just written great lyrics for two of their previous movies...but you know...what we got was this masterpiece that was just as good, if not maybe a tad better than Disney ;)

[@seyeruoynepotsuj]

Easily one of my favourite films, and watching this now shows how much effort, love, and time went into it to make it happen. LOVE it.

[@twist58]

Brenda Chapman co-directed this film? Wow. She later contributed to the 2012 Pixar film Brave as being the first female director to it.

[@drakke125Channel]

I've some issues with the Brave movie BUT, as a whole I thoroughly enjoyed it and quite honestly I would love to see another movie like Brave again. It's not very often you see a movie b/w a mother and daughter like with goofy and his son in their own movie together. We really need more movies like Brave that can tell the growth and courage of a female character. Though recently there' moana. I was really worried bout it but I'm glad they didn't overdo the overprotective dad and rebellious daughter thing. It's a nice surprise to see that its a movie about a hero AND a protagonist working together, its like the hero is letting the protag of the story to be the main hero, very interesting angle. What i absolutely loved in Brave is both the mystery and the relationship b/w mother and daughter, the struggle, tension, emotions, and the closure. Much better than Frozen which fails on so many levels since Disney is redefining love and romance and marriage/committed relationships.

Val Documentary Sent me here, a reminder how fantastic this movie was.

[@inluwetrust]

Such a beautiful movie. One of my favorites for sure.

[@jaadkins148]

The music is incredible in this film. I remember just being in awe with the opening scene so captivating.

[@globetrekker86]

Rewatching The Prince of Egypt after The Ten Commandments makes me appreciate even more, the craft and dedication behind this stunning animated film. Even the discrepancy between the brothers’ relationship is beautifully depicted in both works. Commandments have Moses and Ramses as bitter rivals since the beginning, whereas P.O.E. beautifully and not deceitfully lulls the audience into a sense of security and good-natured humor between the brothers. They become enemies only after the POE Moses discovers the truth about his upbringing. Commandments Moses is seen by Ramses as second-best, from the get-go

[@mariahchill9601]

The songs and story still make me cry, so incredibly well done, and powerful

[@caitlinjane92]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've never seen behind-the-scenes of this movie before. I just love this movie and "Joseph King of Dreams." They just don't make beautifully animated movies like this anymore.

[@Ringohulk777]

Fiennes does such a good job sounding like Patrick Stewart. It blows me away every time

[@TheRealLeewon]

This film moves me from start to finish

[@ArkT64]

even 12 years after watching this for the first time, coming back. ill still watch it again and again

[@natasharomanov7565]

Ofra Haza, what a great singer! Ralf Fiennes is excellent as Rameses, after "The Schindler's List" and "The English Patient". I cried a lot in these movies. I would never imagine the taugh guy of "Top Gun" (Val Kilmer) as Moses, but he was awesome!

[@elsakristina2689]

I loved Ralph as Jesus in "The Miracle Maker", another lovely animated Christian film that I grew up with. It's a shame that it's not as well known as this one.

[@natasharomanov7565]

elsa1942 I know that movie, I have seen it once. Ralf is most known from 1990's films, so the most of his first movies are quite forgotten

[@elsakristina2689]

Yes. Now that I'm older, the Crucifixion and tomb scenes break my heart; the background music in those scenes hits you hard in the feels. I remember he played Amon Goeth in Schindler's List, which I haven't seen yet.

[@natasharomanov7565]

elsa1942 I remember that scene, it was very moving Yes, he did! You should see it!

[@elsakristina2689]

Anastasia Pat yeah

[@kelseyglass4274]

I still sing "Deliver Us"... This was just a full on masterpiece. Not even religious and I still show this to any one who hasn't watched. Such an underrated triumph.

[@putridpedros]

Helen Mirren, 6:09: "I've always liked the idea of playing queens anyway." Just you wait... ;)

[@bmckin2011]

The 10 plagues song is one of the the most genius creations of music. A hill I'm willing to die on.

[@AlexAceves1994]

Hans Zimmer, my hero of music.

[@stunningcactus978]

God this cast was STACKED. Unreal.
