Fun fact: Shrek was being made at the same time as this, but it was notoriously difficult and a pain in the ass because of the computers that wouldn't make stuff move the way people wanted it to move (they had to use hair texture on the grass because it wouldn't behave like grass for example). As such, working on Shrek was seen as a chore, and it was definitely used as punishment. Basically, when animators didn't do their job well enough on Prince of Egypt, they were sent to work on Shrek as punishment, and they called it "being shreked". At the time, they thought Shrek was going to flop, and that Prince of Egypt would be recognized as the masterpiece that it is, but the opposite happened. Good for Shrek, but this movie definitely deserves more recognition than it is getting.

I think part of that was the marketing. All of the marketing post-release was setting this up like a typical Disney morning cartoon/comedy.

[@b-six-twelve]

Zuff isn’t totally out of place to confuse Moses and Jesus. The Gospel writers were very intentional about drawing parallels between the two to drive home Jesus’ authority to a community that would’ve readily recognized Moses’. I always thought it was an interesting choice for Moses’ mom Yoheved to be (presumably) dead when he grows up. Traditionally, Miriam offers to find a Hebrew woman for pharoah’s daughter to nurse Moses. She agrees and Miriam simply reunites Moses with his mom, so he has a continued relationship with her as a baby. In several screen adaptations, she’s still alive when he’s an adult. The Ten Commandments is my favorite live action adaptation if you guys ever want a nice biblical epic. The music (Elmer Bernstein) is incredibly memorable. This was hella fun to watch! Thanks for all you do.

[@davidcwitkin6729]

The Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt to this day, which is why Moses turning it to blood was such a catastrophe. The Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, which separates Egypt from Asia, and after that they got to the Sinai Peninsula, where they got the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai and then wandered the desert for 40 years before moving on too the Holy Land. (Israel). BTW, The song, When You Believe, was made famous by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and the voice of Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, the guy from Independence Day and Jurassic Park

this is one of my favorite animated movies of all time.

Something I love at the end is Rameses calling for Moses, which is a callback to when he was calling out his name when Moses left in the first place. The call is the same, but the intention is so different. The first time, he was calling out to him out of love, and the second, he was doing it out of hate. LOVE the parallel. Also, the first time Moses is running away out of shame and tries to ignore Rameses' call, but the second time, he acknowledges it and says his goodbyes. He's not running away from something anymore, he is simply going forward, and has made peace with his past. It's so good. Also yes those are the ten commandments, the movie ends bascially hours or even minutes before it all goes to sh*t so we can have our happy ending. The whole story from them racing at the beginning until the end seems to take place over the course of a couple years at most, but in the Bible, it happened over DECADES. Moses was an old guy by the time he returned to Egypt, it took a lot of time for the slaves to be allowed to leave, and if I remember correctly, they stayed out in the desert for a few more years/decades before Moses got the ten commandments.

The fact that none of you guys have seen this let alone heard of it at least is insane to me. My parents are Christian but they weren’t like going to church every Sunday or at all.

Watching you all hear the story of Moses and the children of Israel for the first time, made me cry. I have known this story for so long, that I can’t even remember first hearing it. I so wish I could hear it for the first time like you all. One thing I find very comforting about all the children dying in this, is that they immediately were in the arms of Jesus. “And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:20

RIP Ofra Haza! (voice of Moses mother) BEAUTIFUL singer! Beautiful Israeli singer that passed two years after this was made in 2000 :(

This is one of my favourite childhood movies. It was always so powerful and emotional for me.

[@jhopeur7219]

I'm an atheist. Anti-theist really, I tend to think religion is silly at best and downright evil at its worst. But I LOVE this movie. I even named my cat Ramesis after the Pharoah (don't get it twisted--I didn't see him as a good dude or anything, I just thought the name was so powerful and elegant and fit for my cat). I really like that they approached the story with honesty. The brutality of the slavery, Moses' original indifference to the plight of the Hebrews, the warmth and love between Ramesis and Moses as brothers, the fear of failing his father on Ramesis' part, Moses' reluctance to be the messenger, the brutality of God's punishment...Idk a lot of animated films that show children dying--I just thought it was really fleshed out and addressed the complexity of the stakes and emotions. Despite obviously not putting a lot of stock in the historical accuracy of the story, I still really enjoy the narrative. There's a French musical (theatre) adaptation of the story called "Les Dix Commandments" (the 10 Commandments) and there's this song "Mon Frere" (my brother) in it that is essentially like the one Moses and Ramesis sing together during the plagues here. It's so beautiful. It's a powerful story with powerful imagery and I think, for an animated film, it really does a great job of capturing that same emotional feeling. Anyway, yeah, great film. It really holds up. This and El Dorado are two of my favorite animated films of all time. OH! And the cast! Ralph Finnes is like the least famous person in the cast. haha. Seti (the father) was Patrick Stewart (Professor X from X-Men), Miriam was Sandra Bullock, Tzipporah was Michelle Pfiefer, Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, Tzipporah's father was Danny Glover...and they gave such great performance. I hope you liked the film!

[@alexanderdrummond3343]

I was surprised by "I'm sort of getting like Christian vibes." Like... it throws me that someone can go their whole life in a western country not knowing anything about Moses.

[@beckylang91]

or that this was a Jewish story…

[@becca9788]

@@beckylang91right this story is the most Jewish story!

[@chiaravallini532]

This movie is one of the ones that stuck With me through childhood. It’s a masterpiece. Those songs still give me goosebumbps

[@janacapinan]

As someone from Latin America I had a very Christian based childhood and this movie was literally a CLASSIC in the churches, as a Kid i was obsessed with this story! It was so funny to see you guys reacting knowing nothing about it

[@phoenixfire124]

If you think this is old, you should try "The Land Before Time" or "An American Tail".

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Co-signing An American Tail, another Jew-tastic animated classic!

[@PrincessBunhead]

I watched An American Tail so much as a kid. Every sleepover at my house, that movie was played.

[@shainaphillips7216]

I thought it was weird how fast they seemed to get across, so I looked it up. The area they crossed was a gulf which connects to the sea.

[@RogueOstriches7]

I and many others thought the "whale" shadow we saw was in fact a whale, except for the fact that whales have horizontal tales. That creature had a vertical tale, like idk, A SHARK! It was a megalodon! Also, the sea they crossed was the Red Sea. The water he put the plague of blood into was the Nile river. And yes, the ten commandments was given to Moses by God. When he came down from the mountain everyone was worshipping a golden calf and Moses had to correct them and bring them back to God.

[@Bnio]

It's a whaleshark, which is a kind of shark (the largest).

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Unfortunately that involved killing some of them, according to the Torah. I love this movie, but it makes Moses look like a hippie when he was actually pretty hardcore.

[@stackingspaghettisauce4271]

Finally got enough free time to watch this one and it made me sooo happy!! I've seen a few other reactions to this movie but they included a lot of snide comments about religion and people who believe this is a true story. It's really nice to see you guys being respectful and appreciating the story even if you're not religious. Also don't worry about looking dumb! I'd take ignorance over hostility any day of the week. Also, it's no surprise that this movie reminded you of so many other movies! So many stories reference the Bible in one way or another that it'd honestly be worth a read for the cultural references alone (although imo there are plenty of other reasons to read it too) :)

[@promisemochi]

this comment right here!! i really appreciated how respectful they were even if they didn't understand, or know the story. they went into with such a respectful mindset and i appreciate it a lot.

[@sammy_sosa1284]

Yes I’m so glad y’all reacted to this it was my favorite movie growing up!! Such an incredible movie 😁

[@TJ-1234]

"it was just like their canal or whatever" You mean the Nile river? lmao!

[@cometgirl217]

Oooooh! Just started the video and I’m SO hyped for this 🥹🤗

[@katie8881]

Aside from the breathtaking animation, songs, voice acting, and visual storytelling, I'm always so impressed by how willing Dream Works was to not pull their punches. I watched this as a young kid with my young cousins and it has brutal slavery, a woman kidnapped to be r'ed by our protagonist, our protagonist killing someone (on accident) and then killing a lot of people on god's behalf, mass child death of the hebrews, plagues (including a blood river), and then mass child death of the non-Hebrew Egyptians. God in the bible doesn't mess around and it would be wrong to soften the edges for any portrayal. This movie was haunting as a kid and it certainly stuck around in my brain but I think this is a case study of how children can be trusted with more complicated and meaningful content. Outside of religious stories, there are many historical events that could be delivered to children in a way that's engaging, realistic, and memorable.

[@loussis8584]

True 💯

[@malakalamri1857]

You guys should really check out Spirit. Amazing story telling through animation!!

[@meleemedusa]

I don't have a religious bone in my body, but this movie and its music will always be an absolute banger.

[@PoppyFlower821]

It’s so fascinating to see a POV from people that aren’t familiar with this story or this religion reacting to this. I was raised in the church and that was all I knew and it was abusive and manipulative but this was and still is one of my favorite movies the animation is beautiful and the music is a masterpiece

[@Purplefreak18100]

"Is that to represent all of the blood spilt?" Me: EXACTLY!

[@curnelmillette9620]

That small river is called the Nile, which is what runs throughout Egypt and is where the Egyptians settled and lived and built their civilization that is ruled by their king( The Pharaoh)

[@manon_0411]

When Moses goes to find Rameses in the beginning, he's whistling the lullaby that his mom sang, meaning he did somehow remember the song. But most importantly, the fact he whistles it in this ordinary, everday setting shows that it's part of his life, and he's probably whistled it so many times before. And you can imagine he asked people around him where it came from, who originally sang it, and no one can tell him. He must have spent his entire life just wondering where the heck this melody came from. So when a girl he doesn't know, a SLAVE at that, claims he is her brother and SINGS the song literally no one else in his life could tell him about, he has no choice but to at least question his reality. I love that moment because you see his expression change as he goes through confusion about why she's randomly singing, then surprise as he recognizes the song, then an even bigger confusion as to how she knows it, then the doubt, and finally the sudden realization that she might be telling the truth, and the fear of what that would imply. Great sequence! I'm kind of confused how he never questioned anything, as his name literally means "saved from the water".

[@נטלישלי-ז4מ]

Because his mom was brestfeeding him till age 3 after the princes took him

[@manon_0411]

@נטלישלי-ז4מ In the original story, yes, but it is not specified here. If I remember correctly, in the Bible, his sister goes to Pharao's daughter as soon as she finds Moses to suggest her mom as a wet nurse, but here, she just leaves instead. Also, as we can see from Moses' reaction to learning he's a Hebrew (shock and confusion), it's fair to assume that his mom WASN'T his wet nurse in this version, since in the Bible she teaches him about his Hebrew heritage and he is aware of it throughout his childhood. So if she had been his wet nurse like in the original, he would know he's a Hebrew and wouldn't be shocked when Miriam told him. This movie is fairly close to the Bible version but quite a few details are missing or changed.

[@needyverse]

Wow, I've never seen people go into watching this without even knowing that it's based on the Bible! I'm still in the intro section so I'm really intrigued to see how you go with that - or if you even realise!

[@amber.ren_1995]

And of course once the sister saw where his basket ended up and saw that the mother was going to accept that’s when she thought and sang ‘comeback and deliver us too’ but originally they were just praying for him to end up far away from their so he wouldn’t die

[@roxysdg334]

Oh I am excited to see your reaction. The MUSIC IS SPECTACULAR!

[@tink6225]

Deliver Us has no right to be such a banger

[@nikoleomotoy5701]

Never clicked so quick on a video. I love the comment, “I’ll show up and he’ll take over.” That’s how it works, he wants us to show up and he’ll work through us. I encourage you to read the the Exodus story from the Bible to learn more about this story and how much God loved and forgave the Israelites.

[@phoebe3575]

the lyrics of through heaven’s eyes are actually lyrics i look to whenever i feel shit - like “a single thread in a tapestry, though its colour brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design” speaks to me so much - like, just because you can’t see what you’re worth, doesn’t mean you’re not worth anything

[@eni6580]

Aaron is a biblical name lmao but I get what you mean it does sound modern

[@jacobmonks3722]

When the Bible was translated to other languages, the names of the people were often localized as well. The easiest example is Jesus, who was almost definitely called Yeshua in his own time. I'm not entirely sure which names were changed because I'm not a Biblical scholar, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear Aaron's real name was Aardvark or something.

[@micahgoldson1253]

@@jacobmonks3722Hey bro, maybe instead of making fun of an entire ethnicity by saying our ancestral names came from unrelated English words, actually just ASK a Jewish person (ex. me) what the names mean. For example, Aaron comes from the Hebrew, אהרון (aharon), meaning ‘of the mountains’ (notice the Hebrew root הר (har) in there, meaning ‘mountain’). I will also remind you that the original text of the Bible is not “lost” or “unknown,” as you seem to be heavily implying. Just because Christians read the text (what you call the Old Testament) in Latin or English, doesn’t mean you need to be a “Biblical scholar” or an archaeologist to figure out what the original text says. We Jews quite literally read the entire Torah in synagogue in Hebrew every year, just ask. Or open a Torah. Also, the reason names like Aaron sound modern is most likely just because a lot of people today name their kids those names.

[@jacobmonks3722]

@micahgoldson1253 I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, just making a corny joke. And maybe I'd have asked a real Jewish person if I knew any in real life. But thank you for clarifying.

I remember seeing this movie in theaters. That and the soundtrack always hit the nostalgia button for me. I’m so glad the boys enjoyed!

[@artloveranimation]

cool thing I noticed on rewatch, after Moses talks to Pharaoh in the beginning he is whistling his birth mother's lullaby which helps imply that the song she prayed he would remember was still somewhere in the back of his mind

[@badnewsbear4834]

Don’t know if you will see this but As far as I’m aware, the water he turned into blood was the Nile in Egypt. The Red Sea is the sea he parts in half to cross. Figured I’d clear that confusion if no one else answered.

[@meggo329]
