Wow Amazing Movie with a Great soundtrack. Glory to God period 🙌🏾 What was your favorite Songs from the Soundtrack here’s my list: 1.Deliver Us ( Iconic) 2. Through Heavens Eyes 3. The Plagues Thanks For Watching 🥰

[@nobodynothing8234]

All of these songs are iconic 🥺

[@CoffeeMe1987]

They were all beautiful, but the plagues has got to be my #1 favorite. The ending of it with the color contrast of the red and blue, the brothers singing overlapping with Ramsey walking away into the darkness and Moses looking forward was so symbolic. The whole "I loved you once." It always gives me goosebumps it's so powerful. This whole movie was amazing! Rest of my list is: Through Heaven's eyes Deliver Us All I ever wanted And When you believe :3

You should watch “When you believe” by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston if you haven’t seen it.

Two words, Jeffrey Katzenberg. He was the studio head for Disney during Disney's hay-day a.k.a the Disney Renaissance. Dude ends up getting mad over a failed promotion or something, flips Michael Eisner the bird and starts his own studio with Steven Spielberg and Geffen thus the S.K.G. in DreamWorks S.K.G. if you watch the early DreamWorks movies you'll see they had a distinct Disney feel. Also, Shrek was a shot at Disney, Dulark it's supposed to be mocking Disneyland.

The animators had to create a BRAND NEW system to animate the parting of the Red Sea to the way they imagined it to be.... thats why it took them 2 years to animate the scene. The dedication of those animators was amazing. I wish this type of dedication was seen still today.

God is voiced by the entire cast whispering the lines, with Moses' voice brought to the front. It shows that God is in everyone, but also represents how Moses was singled out to lead. If you listen, you can hear the female whispers very clearly. It really adds to the movie and shows the thought and care that went into it.

[@notsotypicalful]

Or referencing how we’re all created in God’s image so therefore Moses has some likeness to Him. “God in everyone “ isn’t exactly an Abrahamic belief.

One of the amazing things about this movie is its universal appeal. People who are Jewish, Christian, and Muslim generally view it as a very good and faithful retelling of one of their most important stories. At the same time, people who are from other religions or who are atheist find it to be just a beautiful and emotionally-driven movie, even if they don't agree with its theology.

[@ramble4395]

People have putted out that the main reason Christian movies fail is because they focus so much on pushing their own ideology on people and not connecting with the audience in any sort of way. Something this movie does wonderfully.

[@lucianavega7651]

yes exactly, I myself am atheist and this movie is on my top favorites of all time it just never misses

[@bobbobbo5278]

I think one of the reasons is because the movie seems to focus more about the conflict between two brothers, like y’all said it isn’t preachy which makes it a fantastic movie

[@MM-NolascoPH]

Yeah! Even people with different religions, even atheists, loved it! That is the best one unlike the Christian films today...

[@_the_little_mermaid_]

@@ramble4395 I don’t understand what you mean by Christian “ideology”. The Bible never changes, I personally haven’t watched many Christian movies, but the ones I’ve seen are always according to what the Bible teaches, and the prince of Egypt is Bible based. So I genuinely don’t understand, y’all like the movie because of the slavery and conflict between brothers story?

It’s pretty popular but some might think it’s too dark for kids. But this movie shows that Moses didn’t knew of his heritage and that he grew up together with the pharao which isn’t said in Exodus, so if people mention those they might be too influenced by the film. Although I guess Moses could have been close to the pharaoh but he was raised by a Princess to the the pharaohs wife so he would not be pharaoh’s son. And Moses was in desert for so long I have seen speculated it was different dynasty too when he returned.

"He kept the same hairstyle?" Yeah it's called the sidelock of youth, the children of Pharaoh would wear it to symbolize their connection to Horus who was depicted with the same hairstyle. You'll notice that Ramses' son has the same hair. Also fun fact: Moses killing the overseer by accident is from Islamic tradition. Christian tradition usually has it as deliberate, while Jewish tradition has it as premeditated because the man had raped an Israelite woman. Just one small example of how difficult it would have been to make a consistent, strong story while borrowing from all three versions and how impressive it is that they pulled it off.

[@kateiannacone2698]

"He kept the same hairdo?" That's actually a really interesting thing that the movie did. That hairstyle is referred to by Egyptologists as the "sidelong of youth," because in all the ancient Egyptian reliefs they've found, it is exclusively seen on royal children and adolescents, not adults. So the fact that he’s still wearing it means that he's not recognized as an adult yet at that point in the story.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

This film was so carefully and respectfully done that it's been praised by Jewish, Muslim, and Christian leaders for its' scriptural accuracy, but the thing it really needs more praise for is making Moses incredibly human and relatable. He goes through denial, a nervous breakdown, runs away, gets humbled, gets his life together, and tries to do his best. I think sometimes people forget historical figures and Biblical figures are people, and this movie nails that. I know atheists who watch this and root for Moses.

[@Jemini4228]

I'm an atheist and it's one of my favourite movies. In my opinion one of the greatest movies ever made. You absolutely don't have to be a believer to be invested in it. I think key to this is that the movie doesn't preach but merely presents a story and allows you to make up your own mind. The characters are all so human and relatable and the film looks gorgeous. Also the soundtrack slaps!

[@Seawitch555]

I’m Wiccan and I love this movie! I think it touches so many different people. What a literal masterpiece.

[@hkazu63]

There really is no one that this movie can’t touch. The human element on a Biblical story, showing Moses struggle with the guilt of what he must do for the Hebrew people, which the Bible itself doesn’t really touch on, really lifts the story up.

[@XaeeD]

@@classifieduser134 It's similar in general, but quite different in the details. Stories of prophets aren't the same in the Qur'an. They're not in one place, they're not told in chronological order, but scattered throughout the Qur'an. The stories aren't told for the sake of telling the story, but they're basically used to emphasize certain themes that occur in the chapters of the Qur'an. The stories don't really give you lots of names, places, dates, ages, etc., but they do contain tons of information, packed in succinct expressions. The Qur'an is very different from the Bible in that regard. When you compare the story of Solomon and Sheba from the Qur'an to the Biblical version, they're actually extremely different. The Qur'an really paints a picture, and there's a lot of information being conveyed in between the lines, whereas the Biblical version seems pointless in comparison. The Bible has numerous verses, for example, informing the reader of how much gifts were exchanged, and how much gold they received. The Qur'an doesn't do that, because the information has no benefit. One might think that the Qur'an copies stories and changes them, or gets them wrong, but on closer examination, in my opinion at least, the Quranic stories are exceedingly superior. I'd definitely recommend reading the Qur'an, and maybe look for some exegetical videos on YT.

7:40 Someone pointed out that what makes that image worse is the fact that in the Egyptian religion, which up until then Moses had been raised in, when your heart was weighed by Anubis after you died and found to be heavier than the peacock feather that came from the goddess of truth, then your heart was cast aside to be devoured by a monster that was at least part crocodile and therefore you would not get eternal life, so to Moses it looks like all of these babies were instantly declared 'unworthy' and cast aside to be eaten by a monster. That's what awaits this Pharoah though - his heart will be found heavy with all the lives he ended and all the misery he caused, and it will be devoured.

I wish they made more 2D animations 99% of the time theyre all good movies with cgi it's a 50/50 for me.

[@MaidenOfHusbands]

@@thathyena2949 it’s because everything is CGI. Most animated artists focus on the visuals because CGI can do a ton instead of focusing most of the attention on the story. They’re too busy making the film look pretty to make the story just as pretty

I’m so glad you really liked this movie. This ENTIRE soundtrack (including the musical score) is just immaculate, plus the beautiful animation, little details. And the Burning Bush scene has brought me to tears ever was I was little. This movie is everything to me and will always hold a special place to my heart.

Someone has probably already mentioned it, but the voice of God was the same guy who voiced Moses. And the voices that echo behind God’s voice are the combined voices of those that Moses has known up until now - his sister, Ramases, wife, etc. Which the more I think of it, the deeper it is. God is very much an unknown, at least in the physical or tangible sense. So it would make sense for your world experience to fill in that void. 🤯

[@kalahkirby5422]

And it was Rameses the first's sister who found baby Moses, and his birth mother became his nurse after his sister Miriam bravely told the princess she knew someone who could nurse him.

It should also be noted that YAHWEH is meant to represent breath. YAH (inhale) WEH (exhale). Yahweh, breath of life.

As a child I loved this movie. Being older now with a love for art/animation allowed me to further admire the animation of this movie. And as a Christian it brought to life a story we would read about (even if some details were left out). It's truly amazing

[@elenavazquez6574]

One of my favorite things about this movie is that it can be enjoyed by all audiences. Jewish people, Christians, and Muslims enjoy it because it is a beautiful representation of this Bible story, and even people who don’t follow the Bible can still find lessons to reflect on. In addition we can all enjoy the music, and animation. A masterpiece that isn’t spoken of enough.

right?? I'm so happy that it's finally getting the recognition it deserves. Hopefully people will do the same for Joseph King of Dreams XD

[@antoinettelopes]

Val Kilmer who played Moses also did the voice for God. He's my favorite actor. He was sick a few years back and his voice was affected. He just announced yesterday that they'll be doing a documentary about him. You'll end up seeing him in something sooner or later. A lot of the other reaction channels have done movies he was in like TOP SECRET!, TOP GUN, TOMBSTONE, and HEAT.

[@eurech]

The vocalist singing Deliver Us was the legendary Ofra Haza, one of the greatest female voices ever recorded. She still remains the biggest Israeli superstar twenty years after her death. She got a lot of recognition in the West world in the 80s and 90s and had many songs in the charts. (P:s she also sung Goodbye Brother and vocalized the track Cry in the movie)

[@StarrySoakedSky]

Grew up watching this film every year for Pesach (Passover) all time favourite 1000% loved seeing Jewish stories be shared in such a beautiful and respectful way - the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal in Hebrew as well 💞💞

[@theflickchick9850]

GASP. There's a Hebrew soundtrack?! That sounds so cool!

[@orrrt4626]

@@theflickchick9850 Yes, and it's soooo good! Usually they don't do a good job translating soundtracks to Hebrew (with the exception of Lion King) but this one is phenomenal! My favorite parts are when Ofra Haza is also Moses' mother in the Hebrew, and when the choir sings the Hebrew part in When You Believe because they literally sing the same words they do in the English version but their accents are Israeli😂

[@mikaelacash3791]

This has been my favorite movie ever since I was a little girl. I'm a Christian with Israelite heritage. It's often said that this is one if, if not the, most accurate story of Exodus. Crazy, right? And it's such an incredible masterpiece! I love how they highlight that, yes, Moses and Rameses were brothers. And then all the other beautiful messages in here, and the animation, and the music! I watch it every year during Passover. Also, fun fact that answers your question about who the voice actor for God is: Whenever God speaks in this movie, ALL the voice actors are voicing Him (meaning the echos in the background that made it more mystical. Obviously there was one main voice actor). All of them together. I think that's incredibly beautiful.

[@kellyjones4735]

I'm an atheist and I still sob through this whole movie. Truly gorgeous and inspiring, a beautiful story brought perfectly to the screen.

so if you listen really hard at the end of the plagues and all the children's souls have been taken to God; you can hear the people crying as the screen fades to black. That was probably one of the most emotional moments in the movie for me

19:28 I never noticed this in this scene when I was younger but rewatching it, Rameses son backs up and stands in the middle of the crocodiles along with the babies they killed. Basically Foreshadowing his sons death after he said what he said.

I love that they put Hebrew lyrics in some of the songs, which makes it far more beautiful , especially in "when you believe" they put a known Hebrew blessing

I remember watching the movie in theaters as a child and thinking "that's it?" at the ending, because I thought we were going to see it all the way to the end. I think is saids something about the quality of the movie when at the end you want more.

"Who is the voice of God?" So this is one of my favorite little factoids about this movie. The main voice of God that you hear is Val Kilmer, the same actor who voices Moses. And all the whispers underneath are the whole rest of the cast, so they're all the "Voice of God"
