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.

    Moses carrying the Ten Commandments in the movie: My people are free. This is the start of a new life for everyone. Moses carrying the Ten Commandments in the Bible: Wtf are they singing to a golden cow

    Religious or not, everything about this movie was amazing. An underrated work of art.
  • @chidivids2005
    As a Christian, I was scared to recommend this to my atheist friends because I thought they would groan at the religious setting, so I was very surprised when they came to ME with it to gush about how great it was. I'm really happy everyone enjoys it😊
  • The opening scene showed a more graphic depiction of slavery than most live action movies I've seen. Those images certainly stayed with me.

    "Deliver Us" gives me chills. every freaking time.

    Hans Zimmer did the composition for the music, so it's not surprising how striking it is. I will always remember Ofra Haza's voice in Deliver Us, and how she sang that part in every translation of this movie, singing in various languages.

    Underated opinion but the 10 plagues scene was my favorite because it just really captures the internal struggle between both brothers and also really captures so much emotion between them

    The scene where Moses split the sea actually gave me goosebumps, it was absolutely astounding.
  • @cyagami90
    Let's not forget the scene where Pharaoh tells Moses "Oh my son...they were only slaves" Gives me goosebumps as a child it was so chilling

    I remember as a kid not caring for this movie because it was dark, but as an adult this blew me away. I think the problem about prince of Egypt is it’s always marketed as a kids movie when it really isn’t, it’s an art piece that appeals to a wide audience. I hope people give it another chance with older eyes, they’ll love it!

    8:55 As a 9yr old, this scene took my breath away and made the hair on my skin rise. It put into perspective Gods majestic creations and how small we are as humans. I was amazed yet felt very insignificant but overall wowed by this scene. The music, the dark colors, the size comparisons were amazing and accurate. I could almost feel how cold and dark it was and how scared I would be if the lightning struck and illuminated the water to reveal a massive whale
  • I like how DreamWorks has the balls to portray how terrifying the old testament is especially the first born or angel of death scene.

    DreamWorks before: The Prince of Egypt DreamWorks now: The Boss Baby
  • Watching for the first time as an adult it’s crazy how relatable Ramses is in his motives and how we spend the rest of our lives aggressively trying to prove ourselves to our parents even when they’re gone and how insecurity and inability to let go create so much suffering for yourself and everyone who depends on you

    Joseph: The King of Dreams was also another really good dreamworks movie made a few years after The Prince of Egypt. It’s not necessarily the same level as the POE but has it’s own style that is similar and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it. Joseph was voiced by Ben Affleck. POE was definitely one of the greatest animated movies of all time and the soundtrack was equally amazing. Animated movies have never been on the same level since.
  • Moses: I diagnose you with Letma. Rameses: What’s Letma? Moses: L E T M A P E O P L E G O

    Opinion: The Prince of Egypt displays some of the most emotionally raw music ever made.

    Even as an Athiest, i absolutely love this film and all the work that went into it. Its a wonderful tale with a wonderful meaning. The film delivers on it and especially delivers on the heavy moments. Its absolutely brutal to watch Ramses hold his dead son, and the song for the plagues is unforgettable. I only wish they let Ramses sing for longer lol.
