  • Most animated movies have gotten the recognition they deserve, however one film that is almost always over looked is none other than The Prince of Egypt. In this video essay I explore the artistry and themes of what I believe to be the best animated film of all time, The Prince of Egypt, a forgotten masterpiece.

      @@garybrown2039 As someone who's converting to Judaism, I asked what others of different denominations (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Haredi) thought of it as well as other extreme acts of Moses like the killing of the Midianites. The interpretation I saw was as simple as prophets being as human as the rest of us and thus as subject to being extreme, harsh, and being wrong, even when God trusted them. Doesn't make for a great animated story, but that's how I see it.

      I’ve been an atheist for as long as I can remember, and I first watched this movie a few years ago because I heard of how good it is, and I think this film is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. I love how mature and down-to-earth this movie is and how it portrays the events of this story. Also the music and animation are both REALLY good. I think what sets this film apart from other religious media is that it’s main focus is telling a story and telling it well, not to convert viewers to a certain religion or belief system. I think this movie is great for everyone, I don’t think you have to be a certain religion to like it.

      When the audience goes to see those kinds of movies rather than the master pieces like Prince of Egypt, it only makes sense at a business perspective to keep doing what the audience want to see or pay to see... so you get Boss baby. I think the majority of people seeking for stupid comedy based movies now a days is do to the fact that depression is at an all time high in our generation, that's why comedy is getting shoved in nearly everything, even in scenes that are supposed to be dark and traumatic like wars and battle scenes... *cough* Marvel *cough* Star Wars *cough.*

      Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.

      I think they weren't slaves. In context of the egyptian's builds it's a stereotype. Mostly it was just villagers who went to build from their free will ( but then there was no food bc no one grew any). I'm not sure how Judes were treated there, but I guess they were just massive attacked with racizm... Like almost every minority at that time. There were slaves for sure, but not many in Egypt. Mostly it was foreigners from enemy's camp at war.

There's a deliberate agenda to push on us movies that are shallow, cheap entertainment with just enough melodrama thrown in to make them seem touching. Prince of Egypt is truly an animated masterpiece. It's leading fault is the inconsistencies with the actual Old Testament accounts, but as a film unto itself it's astoundingly good. Best synergy of stylistic quality, animated smoothness, scale, drama, music, and voice acting I've ever seen. I'd love to live to see the day when a New Testament story is done to anything approaching POEs quality.

      Andrew Cook I’m not sure what I’m trying to say either, and as the guy here said I’m just pointing out that Christianity happened much later. I just scroll through all the comments and see hundreds of people referring to the exodus as a Christian story or as a part of Christianity. Im Jewish and to me this movie is fascinating due to the fact that a Christian country produced a movie retelling the story of Hebrews (basically- Jewish people later on) using Hebrew language and mirroring one of the (if not THE) most important elements of Judaism. The first testament says ‘I am The Lord thy God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt’- the exodus is core in Jewish belief, and it represents the promise God made to the Israelites and the covenant between them. So it’s just really interesting to me that Christians are viewing this as a Christian story. This comment has no intention of being sassy or mean, I just don’t know much about Christianity and it’s interesting to me to see that everyone can relate to this story though basically being a story about the Jewish people.

But being aware of this on principle as a Muslim, I went ahead and viewed it. I've since also introduced it to my son, and we both love the majesty of the production and lessons of the story.

      And his story is told with great details, and from beginning til end, and even tells about some stories of those muslim prophets who were sent to the Jewish people.
      5:44 translated :
      We revealed the Torah with guidance and light, and the prophets, who had submitted to God (literal translation of being muslim), judged according to it for the Jews. So did the rabbis and the scholars in accordance with that part of God’s Scripture which they were entrusted to preserve, and to which they were witnesses. So [rabbis and scholars] do not fear people, fear Me; do not barter away My messages for a small price; those who do not judge according to what God has sent down are rejecting [God’s teachings].
      It starts before he was born, when the pharaoh was killing the newly born Israelites a year and letting them live whose born in the next year,
      And Moses peace be upon him was born in the year of killing,
      And god tells how he inspired his mother to put him in a coffin and put him in water, and the water carried the coffin to the palace of the Pharoah... Then he rejected all breasts of women feeders, so his sister told the guards that she can lead them to someone, only so that god would return Moses peace be upon him to his mother so she would not be in grief.
      I can go on but his story is pretty long and it continues until they were ordered to get into the holy land, Jerusalem..

Slavery in israel is more a keen to indentured servitude. Slaves were treated with respect with MANY laws implicated to ensure no one would remain a slave their entire lives and that a slave could pay off his debt. Many people actually sold themselves into slavery to pay off debts. Was it perfect? No, and God made it known that they allowed slavery in the first place as a means to make a very common practice at the time more ethical. If you're ever interested, look into the jubilee year.

      So you gotta ask yourself: Do I want to preach or teach the true uncensored word of God? Even if people don’t like it Or Do I want to make famously good entertaining movies? Both have their benefits, but the first one has eternal benefits and second gains temporal ones. I tell you, if you want to please God, you won’t please the world.

    What I love most about this film is that Moses and Ramses are brothers. And they stay brothers throughout the entire film. Moses gets Ramses into trouble but they're still joking and being bros. When Moses kills the Egyptian, and finds out he's a Hebrew, Ramses doesn't care and still loves him. When Moses comes back to Egypt from Midian, Ramses is so happy and wants to give him a royal welcome. When the plague song happens, Moses laments that he's destroying what was his home and wishes god had chosen another person. Even despite the plagues Ramses wishes he could have the old Moses back. When Ramses son dies, Moses weeps for him.
    I always hated how in the 10 Commandments Movie, they were so one dimensional. Brothers/siblings are always portrayed at odds in film, but in this movie especially, it highlights how that despite having opposing views, despite ones actions be they good or evil, you can still love someone.

      Brenda Chapman is not the first. That credit goes to Lotte Reiniger's 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
      If you mean for a major studio, in that case it'll be Brenda.

    There are also sooo many small details you catch on when you watch it multiple times, like when Moses and his people leave Egypt, there are two egyptian guards who just drop their spears and go in the same direction. And they are there, at the other side of the sea! I love it cause it means no matter who you were in the past, it can be forgiven if you willing to change. The two egyptian guards decided they just want to leave this system and they did. And Hebrews let them, they were all equals.

      There's so. SOOO much visual storytelling in this movie. Like early in the movie when Pharaoh is talking to Ramses and Moses about legacy you see Seti standing in front of a tower with just his face on it. Later in the movie Moses returns and he's talking to Ramses you see Ramses now has a his own tower right underneath Seti's. He's literally in his father's shadow that he can't escape from. Also when Moses and Ramses are debating with each other just before the 10th plague and Ramses proudly proclaims he will kill the Hebrew children he's standing in the same position and pointing as his father's mural on the wall. Except in place of the babies falling to be eaten by gators is Ramses's own son. And the scene closes with Moses saying "you've brought this on yourself."God why is this movie so good!

Maybe I'd feel differently if I saw The Ten Commandments under different circumstances, but I have a hard time taking everyone seriously when there's a love triangle and a love square going on in the background. (Though I have to admit, I'm impressed they managed to keep all the plot lines straight.) Anyway, the point is, Prince of Egypt is amazing, and I'm so glad I grew up with it. It's impossible for me to listen to the soundtrack without feeling the urge to burst into song like a Broadway character.
