As a Christian who has been watching this channel for a year or so, I'm happy to see Holden showing Jen Prince of Egypt. I'm not a big fan of musicals, but the songs in Prince of Egypt make me tear up when I hear them because I'm so tenderhearted.

For God's voice I heard they combined all the actors voices together to give God an otherworldly but familiar sounding voice.

My favourite interesting fact about the Prince of Egypt that only further proves how much of a masterpiece it truly is that the voice actress of Moses' mother Yocheved (Jochebed), Ofra Haza, not only sang her part for the English and Hebrew versions of the film in "Deliver Us", but also in 15 additional foreign languages! For the languages she didn't speak, she sung phonetically. Such an amazing film, I'm extremely happy to see Jen experience this cinematic wonder for the first time

Watched this with my daughter earlier last year & she was enthralled the whole time watching it. I was singing all the songs like a geek. It was also interesting to see that children have a natural empathy because my daughter really felt for the slaves, Moses & even Rameses.

[@Light-Rock97]

Ramses is a great character in this. He exemplifies how people who are raised a certain way are molded by their surrounding, and can't see the error of their ways. He couldn't see the dissonance of believing the Hebrews weren't people but still loving his brother, even after knowing he was a Hebrew. It just didn't compute for him that those two things couldn't both be true.

[@Real_Genji]

I’m so happy you showed her and that she enjoyed it. It’s great too that she felt empathy for them all because God also felt the same, had Rameses let the Hebrews go, the Egyptians wouldn’t have been smited. Even in the end, God lifted Rameses to the rock after the waves, sparing his life

[@greencello599]

This movie was my mom's favorite telling of Exodus. It showed Rameses and Moses having an actual brother relationship and it involved Zipporah in a more active role in the task Moses had in liberating the Israelites. As mentioned by others, there is a stage musical of this movie now. One of the places it premiered in the United States was Tuachan, an outdoor theater not far from St. George, Utah. The backdrop of the theater is the natural stone the theater is built into. The voice of Moses was Val Kilmer, Iceman from Top Gun and Doc Holliday from Tombstone. Sadly, he doesn't do much talking anymore due to throat cancer. The singing voice of Jethro is Brian Stokes Mitchell. A huge Broadway star who is considered Broadway's last leading man.

[@jarlhenrik]

Prince of Egypt got a musical play some years ago. I attended the European premiere of it in Denmark and was blown away by how much a theatrical stage amps up the musical numbers. And to top of the ending, as Moses splits the red sea, the actor playing him literally split the theatre down the middle, by clever use of hydraulics xD It was a fantastic experience I would love to have again.

[@nellucthegreat]

I am 99% sure it was unintentional, but that final "Deliver Us" at 29:54 hit me so hard as a Christian and someone who knows what happens as Moses comes down the mountain to find Israel turning from God and worshiping the golden calf. It speaks to that while they may have come out of Egypt they are still enslaved to sin and torn from God so their hearts still cry for deliverance, which God fulfills for all mankind with the coming of Jesus.

@@judeancupcake7553 You throw "universalist" and "culture destroying" as venomous and hatful insults, yet don't you believe your God to be universal?

Don't you believe in an objective truth that we should all conform to, or do you believe in some sort of ethnic relativism where our gods and stories can only come from our own ancestors? I'm not Jewish, so your God or beliefs can never apply to me? If our frameworks differ that much, I don't think we'll ever be able to hear each other. But speaking from my belief in an objective, universal God and Truth, no, I'd never attend an indigenous powwow. Not because of some sort of weird respect of how their genetic code differs from my own, but because I do not believe it to be the truth. I have a good many historical, philosophical, and theological reasons that I believe Jesus's resurrection is a true fact; something that only heightens my respect for the Jewish people as they are the ones God chose to bring the Messiah into the world, fulfilling His promise to Abraham that "all peoples on earth will be blessed through you". If you are unaware of those reasons or merely find them unconvincing I am in no position to convince you, but there is no reason to interrupt my honest conscious-derived beliefs as some personal attack upon you or your people.

7:43 "I like his little side ponytail." I love commenting about this cuz I find it really interesting. In ancient Egyptian culture, the way you wear your hair (or in some cases, someone else's hair) designated status. That hairstyle is called by historians "The side lock of youth" because it's only ever seen depicted on royal children (both genders). So it's interesting that even as a young adult, this version of Rameses is still wearing it, and I think it says something about how Seti views him. Also, nobility wearing someone else's hair as a wig was a symbol of their ultimate authority over them.

Thank you for bringing attention to this film. I’m Jewish. Well versed in this biblical story and some of the midrash. I’m also an armchair Egyptologist. When it showed the Orion constellation, I thought about the Egyptian interpretation of it as Horus’ father. The theme of reincarnation. I don’t know if that was what they were intending. Remember, the biblical story would also be about the slave mentality being shed.

As a Christian who enjoys the Holden hardman channel, I’m stoked you uploaded this!!

Singing, acting is the best, has aged like fine wine

[@JohnnyRychous]

I am so excited you guys did this! Hands down my favorite animated movie. When I was in grade school my class for graduation sang the song “When You Believe”. I was a part of a small group that did the Hebrew solo. Good times! 😎

I will say "All I Ever Wanted" is my jam. Has been since I 've heard it as a kid. Fell in love with it instantly.

[@angelsanchez5715]

When I was in kindergarten we went on a field trip to the movies and The Prince of Egypt was the movie we watched. Great movie.

[@martythetickler]

This is certainly one of the greatest animated films ever made and certainly the greatest movie in DREAMWORKS' collection.

[@wafflebrothel7712]

I love this as much as he says he does. I great memory I’ve got. Getting a movie poster when my family and I saw it on it’s release date.

[@CountryMusicMann]

Oh man, I remember being OBSSESSED with this movie growing up! So good, especially the arrival of the Angel of Death scene. So eerie and otherworldly!

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too

[@jasonlucejr6997]

I just watched this movie recently because Holden recommended it in another video and I'm so glad I did. What a beautiful animated movie. Also the music in this movie is incredible.

[@kourtneycarroll4081]

All the dream works movies made around this time like prince of Egypt, spirit stallion of the cimarron, road to eldorado, etc are all incredible. It’s hard to beat any of them.

[@drewnes64]

I watched this so many times before I even knew about actors and directors etc. Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum and so many more... I feel like they would never do a movie like this now. Such a crazy but amazing thing to see.

[@Jdawg319]

I just last week showed my younger son this movie and he actually enjoyed it. Loved this since I was younger.

[@nathancruz9172]

28:59 closing the Red Sea 🌊 gives me goosebumps every time.

[@gracykay2516]

i love how passionate he is about this movie!! finally someone who’s as obsessed with this movie as I am😅 only recently did I stop crying every time I heard the line “Elohim, God on high, can you hear your people cry?” it’s so powerful😭 also my favorite song will forever be “all i ever wanted” it’s literally what got me obsessed with ancient Egypt when i was a kid and i’m still super obsessed with it now almost 10 years later

Helen mirren did the voice of ramases mother queen tuya aka also moses adoptive mother

This movie is so amazing, and I grew up with this film. There is actually a stage adaption of this film that played in the West End that you can watch live right now on Broadway HD. And when the Covid struck two years ago, fans got the chance to submit a video of them singing when you believe to make a special lock in video. I was one of the blessed people who got to be in the video. The video as well as the musical soundtrack can be found on KZbin. If Jen enjoyed The Prince of Egypt, I highly recommend her check out it’s pretty cool Joseph: King of Dreams. It’s just as amazing and have awesome songs as well. ❤️🧡💛💙

[@bixb5714]

Can't believe Holden didn't bust out the Whitney-Mariah music video, which could've won Jen over on the soundtrack side of things.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

I'm an Atheist and I love this movie and grew up watching it also over when they sing at the plagues and the splitting of the red sea

[@freshestmanonearth]

Omygosh Boston is so glued to the screen like he understands the whole movie

[@Light-Rock97]

A movie so cool and epic even non churchgoers love it. I rented this one quite a few times growing up, and went on to watch it every other year as an adult. It's just that good. Also, I love the Ten Commandments too. I don't watch that one that often, but I did see it recently, a couple of years ago, and I saw it twice on the same month, just because I was excited about how much it held up from when I'd seen it as a kid.

[@tomediagroup]

It’s been a while since I read the Bible but I don’t recall the relationship of Pharaoh and Moses really detailed as much growing up. I always took as both The Ten Commandments and Prince of Egypt both taking liberties with part of the story. This was Dreamworks Animation 1st animated film, suggested By Steven Spielberg. Without it, we wouldn’t have the extensive animated library Dreamworks Animation offers now. And Yes, This arguably one of the best animated films of all time.
