The Prince of Egypt - FULL REACTION
Added 2024-04-29 04:35:57 +0000 UTCEasily top 3 animated films for me! I loved the angle they took with the relationship between Moses and Ramesses. It really made the emotional stakes far more heartbreaking. Enjoy :)

I have such a love for this movie, I can't really put it into words. I thought your reaction was excellent. If the movie has a flaw, it's that they didn't really put a fine enough point on the nature of the final plague. It was not a plague of death, but a plague of reversal, for want of a more dramatic description. If Ramses had ordered that all the Hebrews would go without water for a month, that would have been the punishment of the Egyptians. But, he ordered the deaths of the firstborn of the Hebrews, so it was this which befell Egypt. They do say it, "Ramses, you bring this upon yourself." However, I think it can be interpreted here as merely more of the same of what has been happening thus far with the plagues rather than a new thing entirely. "The Ten Commandments" did a better job of explaining that point, I think. But as flaws go, it's quite a split hair. This thing is a stratospheric masterpiece in every other respect.

2024-05-16 17:05:49 +0000 UTCI am a huge disney fan. Like going to the parks, having tons of merch, playing ”Kingdom Hearts”, being able to list every single disney classic in chronological order fan. Even so, I consider this movie to be the greatest animated movie of all time. It was very interesting seeing a reaction from someone very familiar with the biblical story. Hans Zimmer did some of his best work in this film, and so did Stephen Schwartz. My personal favourite is ”the Plagues”, but they are all great. I highly recommend checking out Voctave’s ”Prince of Egypt” medley. It is sensational! I also recommend checking out the two videos Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) has done on this film. He points out a lot of things I never realized or noticed before. And of course the ”making of” clips on YT. Btw have you ever considered doing a letsplay series? If so, you should really play through the ”Kingdom Hearts” series. In part because you’re watching so many disney movies now, and in part because I’d just really like to see your reaction to all the storylines through the dark seeker saga. Cheers!

Also not sure if you noticed, but Moses is whistling his mother's lullaby after he and Ramesses get in trouble for destroying the temple, and Ramesses is sitting on the statue. So he already remembered the song before running into his brother and sister, he just didn't know where it was from until she sang it
