DreamWorks: The only company who can make both a biblical epic and a film about an ogre who goes on a quest to reclaim his swamp but finds out the true swamp was inside him all along.
-
"Sacrifices must be made." "They were only slaves." This is the kind of cartoon villain dialog we need back.
-
I also really like the small touch of two Egyptian guards who decide to go with the Hebrews when they leave, you see them among the crowds after that helping out
-
The Prince of Egypt is one of life's great mysteries. Literally no one talks about it AND YET I have never met a single real life person who had anything but positive things to say about it. How can both those things be true at the same time????
-
Genuinely hard to believe that Dreamworks had this as their second film, and now they're making Trolls and Boss Baby.
-
Fun Fact: Ofra Haza, who made Moses' mom's voice, sang her part in almost all languages
-
The line “Oh Moses, they were only slaves” was the first movie line I remember in my life getting chills up my spine. Seeing him hold his son and expecting that sentence to be comforting? My blood still runs cold.
-
"Let my people go." "No." "Have a nice plague."
-
Not just the best Dreamworks movie, but one of the best movies of all time.
-
The part when Moses finally breaks down and cries by himself after the death of his nephew, when he’s finally broken after trying to be so strong while fulfilling his work for God and after seeing so much destruction and death of a people he once loved... I cry every time.
-
This movie is an impeccable masterpiece. - It has a developed and relatable villain. - It has a developed and relatable protagonist. - It has interesting storyline and good pacing - Interesting side characters. - It has awesome songs. - It has awesome animation.
-
I’m not even kidding, I went in blind and cried during the first song. This movie is THAT powerful.
-
My favourite thing in this movie is that the Pharaoh clearly loves Moses as a son completely.
-
"Sacrifices must be made... Oh, my son. They were only slaves" God damn RAW line
-
Something I noticed on my latest rewatch: from Moses leaving Midian up until his meeting with pharaoh, the look on his face is one of determination. I’m guessing because he was expecting to confront his father. When he sees it’s Ramesees, he looks shocked and slightly fearful, until they hug and start laughing together.
-
The line "You shall do my wonders" gives me chills EVERY TIME
-
The eleventh commandment is that this movie shall not be criticised due to its perfection.
-
I'm totally obsessed with the blood river scene. You can see the different consistency in the blood in the river and the fake blood the priests made it's just, this movie is an animation miracle.
-
"God isn't known for giving his chosen ones the fluffiest lives" Well...that's kind of the point
