The Angel of Death is the most shocking thing I've ever seen in any movie. The silence, the swiftness of the children dying,the cries of the parents, it's all unexpected
There were legitimate reasons for that, though (war in Canaan and faithlessness and bickering on the part of the Israelites who were just delivered). But yes, a bit of a bummer.
@@HickoryDickory86 oh I know. Genesis and Exodus are two of my faves. 🙌🏻 lol it just made me chuckle they have no context for what’s going on in the story or where it goes next. I always thought the end of the movie was kinda funny cuz it’s Moses coming down after writing the Ten Commandments down, so you know he’s about to stumble upon them worshiping a golden calf and break those tablets 😂
@@lindsaysmith4208Same! Every time I see him coming down the mountain to that triumphant music, it makes me laugh. I guess they had to end it somewhere!
@@rbrainsop1 lol ikr I remember watching the old school live action adaptation and Moses legit smites his people for witnessing their unfaithfulness. Speaking of old school epics, Ben Hur has to be my favorite of all time
He probably remembered the song because in the Bible, his birth mother became one of his caretakers and the 10 plagues are an insult to some of the Egyptians gods. The plagues are things their gods are supposed to have control over
When Miriam was singing the lullaby to Moses, he remembered that tune because he was actually humming it when he was sewing that bag to pour the punch on those two priests👀
It’s funny how much people didn’t notice that, I picked up on it first watch, the entire point of him humming it is to make it clear he remembers the melody
@@Albusownerindeed, you’ll find Moses humming or whistling the tune at several points in the film before he meets his sister Miriam. ^.-.^ Such a beautiful moment, when Moses, a Prince of Egypt, finds that the Music which has been with him for years is being sung by a Slave woman; that final evidence of what she told him.
It is interesting to hear their perspectives, but the dude in the black hoodie is pissing me off with the random bullshit he’s saying that doesn’t even relate to the movie. 😭
The scenes in The Mummy were inspired by the 10 plagues of Egypt from this story, that's why it looked familiar. I think they even mention that in The Mummy.
I'm obsessed with the way Bryce corrected the alien comment. Ppl really think that stuff and it's like "bro slaves existed and they were definitely made to do all this shit" 😂
Slaves probably did not build the pyramids in particular, there's enough evidence of it being mainly skilled craftsmen. But there were slaves no doubt and they were almost certainly used for other megalithic constructions.
@@tau-5794 The fact that slaves would likely NOT have been needed for the pyramids is as much a criticism of the aliens idea as anything else. Just a determined group of people with a civilization capable of such civil projects. (whether by cruel labor or civil contribution or both)
No one knows to a certainty. Pyramids aside the universe is still an incomprehensibly huge space. There's *always* a possibility something "unconventional" could've gone down in our history and even in modern times.
@@Beforezzz If something is unconventional and undetectable then it practically doesn't exist. Use the word 'always' carefully because it often makes your logic illogical.
Fun fact: Shrek was being made at the same time as this, but it was notoriously difficult and a pain in the ass because of the computers that wouldn't make stuff move the way people wanted it to move (they had to use hair texture on the grass because it wouldn't behave like grass for example). As such, working on Shrek was seen as a chore, and it was definitely used as punishment. Basically, when animators didn't do their job well enough on Prince of Egypt, they were sent to work on Shrek as punishment, and they called it "being shreked". At the time, they thought Shrek was going to flop, and that Prince of Egypt would be recognized as the masterpiece that it is, but the opposite happened. Good for Shrek, but this movie definitely deserves more recognition than it is getting.
I think part of that was the marketing. All of the marketing post-release was setting this up like a typical Disney morning cartoon/comedy. Even though the initial trailer showed this to be a massive epic, the TV spots were all "HAHA look at these goofie people doing goofy things!" Treasure Planet had the same problem.
32:51 I don’t think you guys noticed, but I need you to know that Hotep and Huy are voiced by Steve Martin and Martin Short! Lol I was obsessed with this movie as a kid! I feel like it was a big deal when it came out but I was 5 so I could be wrong 😂. The animation and score are breathtaking. Thanks for yet another great reaction! ❤️
There was a lot of hype when it came out (at least for movie buffs) because this was Dreamworks' first big animated film, and they went all out, including hiring a bunch of people away from Disney. Hans Zimmer for the score. Big names for the voices (which was still a newish thing back then).
Everything is cool FOR NOW. But, to be fair here, as portrayed in the Old Testament, God does undeniable and cosmic level miracles every other week to save his people and yet, come the following Sunday, everyone is adoring foreign gods and burning his priests again, already. Rinse and repeat at least twice per book and you have the Old Testament. No surprise he is so cranky.
@@edisonlima4647mhm, you watch the live action, old school movie adaptation of Moses bringing the commandments down from the mountains, he witnesses his people worshiping bronze idols of animals. So he throws down the commandments and smites them. The years of wondering they'd continue to go through after their exodus from Egypt (gotta love name drops from the title) and the plagues visited upon them before arriving in Israel is immense.
@@edisonlima4647tbh, I understand why they kept sinning back then I always go back because it feels just right doing it even though Ik it's wrong. The only difference between me and the Israelites was unlike them I'm protected from The Father's anger (the one you see in the Old Testament) by Jesus mercy. I'm thankful I'm not dead yet cz I'd be if I was still under The Father's era.
but test audience roasted their version of the song so they axed it from the movie itsels and met the actresses sing it in the movie, because the wasted so much money on it they repurposed it for the end credits🤣. And to be fair, their version sucks so much...
46:32 "I think it was just their canal or whatever" THE NILE???? ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS RIVERS IN HISTORY??? Why am I getting so offended on behalf of this river omg ahaha I cannot believe three people don't know the Nile.
@@thedappermagician6905 How tf u gonna blame Gen z for this wtf💀💀 I'm gen z and learn a lot history,you saw someone wrong on something and immediately blame the generation? Wow mate
So happy and surprised to see a reaction to this movie from you guys! I grew up watching it as a kid all the time. Being Jewish, it was for sure a staple of our entertainment. So glad to see more people seeing it and enjoying it! OK a few other things. Rob, yeah its the Red Sea so you're right! If you look at a map of modern Egypt you would see a body of water separating the Saini Peninsula from northern Egypt. The Hebrews crossed the sea and went back to settle their homeland of Israel. The singer who played Moses' mom is Ofra Haza, a famous Israeli/middle eastern singer who sadly died after the movie came out. ALSO FUN FACT, the two magicians, the skinny and fat one, can you guys guess which two men played them, you're currently watching a show which stars the both of them, and Selena ;)
yooo just wanted to say that i’ve been appreciating the reactions a bit extra lately. been dealing with an almost 3 year relationship coming to an end the last couple months & getting to watch your videos feels like hanging with the boys and having a laugh. really cheers me up when im down & allows me to forget about things for a while. much love to you guys, thank you for the positive vibes!
Oh my I did not realize you guys did not know the story of Moses. Knowing that story would have helped but 5 min in and now I really cannot wait to see this reaction.
The Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt to this day, which is why Moses turning it to blood was such a catastrophe. The Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, which separates Egypt from Asia, and after that they got to the Sinai Peninsula, where they got the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai and then wandered the desert for 40 years before moving on too the Holy Land. (Israel). BTW, The song, When You Believe, was made famous by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and the voice of Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, the guy from Independence Day and Jurassic Park
31:13- Bryce just cutting straight to the heart of something people struggle with for years! Throughout the bible, god keeps sending people places or asking them to do things, and he never lays out the whole plan for them. When he called Abraham, he didn't even tell him where he was going... just leave and go to a place that I will show you. And here Bryce is just watching an animated movie and he immediately gets it- "God said just, I'll give you my hand... I'd just show up and be like, hey, he'll take over from here"
Zuff isn’t totally out of place to confuse Moses and Jesus. The Gospel writers were very intentional about drawing parallels between the two to drive home Jesus’ authority to a community that would’ve readily recognized Moses’. I always thought it was an interesting choice for Moses’ mom Yoheved to be (presumably) dead when he grows up. Traditionally, Miriam offers to find a Hebrew woman for pharoah’s daughter to nurse Moses. She agrees and Miriam simply reunites Moses with his mom, so he has a continued relationship with her as a baby. In several screen adaptations, she’s still alive when he’s an adult. The Ten Commandments is my favorite live action adaptation if you guys ever want a nice biblical epic. The music (Elmer Bernstein) is incredibly memorable. This was hella fun to watch! Thanks for all you do.
What I love about this movie is that it respects all the Abrahamic faiths as well as just being a banger story and a banger musical all at once. It makes it so that legitimately anyone can enjoy it, religious or not.
Rameses' hair in the beginning was the standard haircut called the Sidelock of Youth and was used to indicate the child was the royal heir. The god Horus was portrayed with one and it indicated he was the heir of Osiris so the heirs of Pharoah also wore them.
The fact that none of you guys have seen this let alone heard of it at least is insane to me. My parents are Christian but they weren’t like going to church every Sunday or at all. And they didn’t force The Lord/God down our throats. They let us be ourselves in every aspect and make choices for ourselves. Even when it came to beliefs and believing in something. So I’m definitely not a religious person by any means. But I will admit I love to listen to a lot of the stories from the Bible and the thought/belief of/in God. Tbh I’m just a really open-minded person who likes to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas of what they think will happen after we pass. Anyway what I’m getting it at is that I absolutely love this movie so much I’ve always loved it! And the music and the cinematography it’s just a gorgeous film. The music is so epic and gives me so much strength. Literally just all the emotions lol 💜 It’s beautiful I’ve watched this movie so many times I get emotional every time watching it. These 2 brothers who loved each other so much to being against each other. The pain it hurts my heart every time to watch. It’s so heartbreaking 😔💔
what do you have to lose by exploring jesus. check out the chosen, i think youd be pleasantly suprised, there is a video where johnathan roumie meets with Gen Z and its phenomenal
Something I love at the end is Rameses calling for Moses, which is a callback to when he was calling out his name when Moses left in the first place. The call is the same, but the intention is so different. The first time, he was calling out to him out of love, and the second, he was doing it out of hate. LOVE the parallel. Also, the first time Moses is running away out of shame and tries to ignore Rameses' call, but the second time, he acknowledges it and says his goodbyes. He's not running away from something anymore, he is simply going forward, and has made peace with his past. It's so good. Also yes those are the ten commandments, the movie ends bascially hours or even minutes before it all goes to sh*t so we can have our happy ending. The whole story from them racing at the beginning until the end seems to take place over the course of a couple years at most, but in the Bible, it happened over DECADES. Moses was an old guy by the time he returned to Egypt, it took a lot of time for the slaves to be allowed to leave, and if I remember correctly, they stayed out in the desert for a few more years/decades before Moses got the ten commandments.
It is very interesting watching it without any context to the biblical story- but not to be rude to you guys at all, but it introduces the film in the beginning by saying that this is an adaptation of the biblical story of Moses 😅
I was surprised by "I'm sort of getting like Christian vibes." Like... it throws me that someone can go their whole life in a western country not knowing anything about Moses.
Aside from the breathtaking animation, songs, voice acting, and visual storytelling, I'm always so impressed by how willing Dream Works was to not pull their punches. I watched this as a young kid with my young cousins and it has brutal slavery, a woman kidnapped to be r'ed by our protagonist, our protagonist killing someone (on accident) and then killing a lot of people on god's behalf, mass child death of the hebrews, plagues (including a blood river), and then mass child death of the non-Hebrew Egyptians. God in the bible doesn't mess around and it would be wrong to soften the edges for any portrayal. This movie was haunting as a kid and it certainly stuck around in my brain but I think this is a case study of how children can be trusted with more complicated and meaningful content. Outside of religious stories, there are many historical events that could be delivered to children in a way that's engaging, realistic, and memorable.
Im an athiest but I adooorre this movie. A story that transcends faiths, backgrounds, nationalities. The songs and visuals are gorgeous! We watched it a few times when I was younger in school and we'd sing along, and to this day I watch it every few years. To me its one if the best movies ever created, animated or otherwise.
I and many others thought the "whale" shadow we saw was in fact a whale, except for the fact that whales have horizontal tales. That creature had a vertical tale, like idk, A SHARK! It was a megalodon! Also, the sea they crossed was the Red Sea. The water he put the plague of blood into was the Nile river. And yes, the ten commandments was given to Moses by God. When he came down from the mountain everyone was worshipping a golden calf and Moses had to correct them and bring them back to God.
Unfortunately that involved killing some of them, according to the Torah. I love this movie, but it makes Moses look like a hippie when he was actually pretty hardcore.
There's another reaction channel that watched this and he knew nothing of the story of Moses and was SUPER INTO IT. It was quite endearing. And a big compliment to the filmmakers.
it's wild lol i'm christian but i grew up learning about the greek gods for example. to me not knowing moses is like not knowing hercules. you don't have to be part of the faith to know the stories and characters. but i guess some really spent their whole life's not knowing any of it. which is so interesting to me
I actually think this movie (and probably other old iterations as well) was one of the big reasons why more secular people know the story. But before this movie came out, for me at least, I knew nothing and I know a lot of other people were the same but now since it's such a classic a lot of kids can grow up learning the story so it seems like it's always been super well known
@@V_4_Versacethat's a good point!! part of my school curriculum in the past covered anicent mythology, world religions, etc. but every school is different and if people aren't exposed to it, yeah it makes sense why they wouldn't know the details. some of these comments are a little iffy in regards to them not knowing certain things. i just mostly think it's interesting how people can grow up so similarly in a lot of ways and so differently in others.
And of course once the sister saw where his basket ended up and saw that the mother was going to accept that’s when she thought and sang ‘comeback and deliver us too’ but originally they were just praying for him to end up far away from their so he wouldn’t die
53:01 "need to shape up here" 😂😂 I loved this movie as a kid and it was amazing watching it again with y'all! The themes were very very intense, but I'm so glad Dreamworks didn't edit the harder parts out.
And Zuff is cracking me up thinking Jesus parted the Red Sea. 🤣 Moses parted the Red Sea. Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm, both times on the Sea of Galilee.
Wow, I've never seen people go into watching this without even knowing that it's based on the Bible! I'm still in the intro section so I'm really intrigued to see how you go with that - or if you even realise!
Watching you all hear the story of Moses and the children of Israel for the first time, made me cry. I have known this story for so long, that I can’t even remember first hearing it. I so wish I could hear it for the first time like you all. One thing I find very comforting about all the children dying in this, is that they immediately were in the arms of Jesus. “And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:20
Finally got enough free time to watch this one and it made me sooo happy!! I've seen a few other reactions to this movie but they included a lot of snide comments about religion and people who believe this is a true story. It's really nice to see you guys being respectful and appreciating the story even if you're not religious. Also don't worry about looking dumb! I'd take ignorance over hostility any day of the week. Also, it's no surprise that this movie reminded you of so many other movies! So many stories reference the Bible in one way or another that it'd honestly be worth a read for the cultural references alone (although imo there are plenty of other reasons to read it too) :)
this comment right here!! i really appreciated how respectful they were even if they didn't understand, or know the story. they went into with such a respectful mindset and i appreciate it a lot.
FUN FACT: For the last plague, God told Moses that Rameses would chose it when confronted. That’s why Moses was so panicked when his brother began to tell him he would do what their father did. Moses didn’t want his brother’s child to die, so he was trying to stop Rameses from finishing his sentence. He was basically telling Rameses to shut the hell up. But he didn’t, so God put his foot down and made his wish final. Rameses brought the last plague upon himself. He killed his own child due to his pride and his ego, and Moses tried to stop him. That’s also why Moses broke down. He never wanted this to happen to his brother or to the innocent Egyptian families. He never wanted to hurt the person he grew up with, but it had to be done in order to save his legacy and his people. All of that was so hard on him, and with Rameses deciding his own child’s fate, that was the final straw to make Moses break down and weep.
This cast is absurdly stacked. Val Kilmer (Moses), Ralph Fiennes (Rameses), Sandra Bullock (Miriam), Jeff Goldblum (Aaron), Patrick Stewart (Pharaoh), Michelle Pfeiffer (Tzipporah), and Steve and Marty. Everyone did their own singing as well as voice acting.
One of my favorite little moments is when Pharaoh is talking to Moses about the purge. His face as he says “Sacrifices must be made” seems like he’s talking to himself as much as Moses. If you really wanna theorize, then I’d say the reason he ran into Moses was because Pharaoh has spent many a sleepless night contemplating the actions he took that day.
It’s so fascinating to see a POV from people that aren’t familiar with this story or this religion reacting to this. I was raised in the church and that was all I knew and it was abusive and manipulative but this was and still is one of my favorite movies the animation is beautiful and the music is a masterpiece
I'm an atheist. Anti-theist really, I tend to think religion is silly at best and downright evil at its worst. But I LOVE this movie. I even named my cat Ramesis after the Pharoah (don't get it twisted--I didn't see him as a good dude or anything, I just thought the name was so powerful and elegant and fit for my cat). I really like that they approached the story with honesty. The brutality of the slavery, Moses' original indifference to the plight of the Hebrews, the warmth and love between Ramesis and Moses as brothers, the fear of failing his father on Ramesis' part, Moses' reluctance to be the messenger, the brutality of God's punishment...Idk a lot of animated films that show children dying--I just thought it was really fleshed out and addressed the complexity of the stakes and emotions. Despite obviously not putting a lot of stock in the historical accuracy of the story, I still really enjoy the narrative. There's a French musical (theatre) adaptation of the story called "Les Dix Commandments" (the 10 Commandments) and there's this song "Mon Frere" (my brother) in it that is essentially like the one Moses and Ramesis sing together during the plagues here. It's so beautiful. It's a powerful story with powerful imagery and I think, for an animated film, it really does a great job of capturing that same emotional feeling. Anyway, yeah, great film. It really holds up. This and El Dorado are two of my favorite animated films of all time. OH! And the cast! Ralph Finnes is like the least famous person in the cast. haha. Seti (the father) was Patrick Stewart (Professor X from X-Men), Miriam was Sandra Bullock, Tzipporah was Michelle Pfiefer, Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, Tzipporah's father was Danny Glover...and they gave such great performance. I hope you liked the film!
Never clicked so quick on a video. I love the comment, “I’ll show up and he’ll take over.” That’s how it works, he wants us to show up and he’ll work through us. I encourage you to read the the Exodus story from the Bible to learn more about this story and how much God loved and forgave the Israelites.
I grew up watching this movie at church every year & it still is my favorite to this day, I’m so glad you guys got to watch it & experience it, I truly don’t think any other animated film has topped The Prince of Egypt, the music & the animations! Something I always think about is that God’s voice in the movie is just Moses’ voice in a stronger tone which is so interesting and cool, the Passover scene when God takes the lives of the first born sons is so interesting too because of the visuals and sound, it’s not scary but powerful. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. rob ily & ur reactions too! “gods like hold up lemme cook” 😭 love u guys!
That small river is called the Nile, which is what runs throughout Egypt and is where the Egyptians settled and lived and built their civilization that is ruled by their king( The Pharaoh)
cool thing I noticed on rewatch, after Moses talks to Pharaoh in the beginning he is whistling his birth mother's lullaby which helps imply that the song she prayed he would remember was still somewhere in the back of his mind
About the children dying, it sounds pretty messed up that God would go ahead and kill lots of children, right? But apparently, God had said that Pharaoh himself would choose the 10th and last plague, so God didn't actually choose that one. That's why Moses looks so horrified when Rameses says he's going to do the same thing as his father, that's why he tries to cut him off in his tirade. By saying that, Rameses is choosing the last plague, which will affect his own son. That's why Moses says "You bring this upon yourself". I's not a "well, you're not changing your mind so deal with the consequences", it's a "you chose this plague that is going to kill your son".
Well shit....I was going to go eat something, then I got a notification for this reaction lol.... but now I need to sit and watch this XD Prince of Egypt is a favorite reaction movie of mine....It's SO good! Even if you aren't religious....the Bible is a very interesting read.
I was raised catholic so for some reason I thought its literally impossible to not know the story of Moses😂 Like OBVIOUSLY people all have different knowledge 😂😂😂 but Im so used to that just being basic knowledge in my life that I kept being BAFFLED at them not knowing about the Pharao ordering the murder of the babies or like about the burning bush and stuff. Again NOT a criticism of them! I am enjoying this immensely. Just sort of a little anecdote about how sometimes you are so used to something that you forget not everyone has similar experiences and sometimed it just hits you😂
Fun Fact, Rob, Bryce, and Zuff. Seti and later Rameses advisors Huy and Hotep are voiced by Martin Short and Steve Martin of "Only Murders in the Building". On another note would love for you three to react to the 1956 live action version of this story staring Charlton Heston, on another of your movie nights.
The only thing I knew about this movie was the Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey duet of when you believe I always wanted to watch it cause I love the song but yeah this was cool I liked seeing rob trying to figure out if he’s right about Moses parting the Red Sea lol and yes Moses did the 10 commandments
As a protestant theology student who adores this movie, it was hilarious to watch you guys experience it with almost no previous knowledge of the Biblical background, I really appreciated that perspective and got a lot of amusement out of the confusion xD What I really love about this movie tho apart from it being a great adaption of the story with valuable messages, I think everyone can appreciate it for the well done work of art it is, no matter of you're religious or not. The animation, the music, it's just awesome in itself honestly
I would LOVE to see you guys do a movie night where you react to "She's All That" unless you've already seen it. 🤷🏻♀️ But yeah I think that's be so fun and I can see you guys rlly loving it.
So nice that you guys reacted to this movie, it is a masterpiece. But it kind of baffled me that you guys never heard of the ten (not seven) plagues of Egypt story. The movie reminds you guys of The Mummy because those movies have elements of the 7 (10 actually, my bad) plagues of Egypt and Moses' story from the Exodus! But, as always, I really enjoyed your reaction❤ Also the river Moses turned into blood it was the Nile😊
Lol, no problem. I went and looked it up because I was wondering if there were some faulty translations out there. Ends up, yes. There are some wackadoo English translations of the "complete" bible (aka, old and new testaments) that seem to have combined some of the plagues together for some reason. @aola91
This is crazy this is the first time I've seen adults who didn't know what this movie was but especially ones that didn't know it was about the story of Moses. But yeah this movie is incredible especially for when it was made I feel so bad for you guys hoping they'll be some sort of redemption for the kids but God just does not play at all about killing kids In the Bible he'll just take life relentlessly. But yeah the music and the animation just it makes a biblical story so universal and just such an incredible film
Zach is rockin' that 90s boy band hairstyle. This is my favorite animation movie since I saw it as a child when it came out. This was the first movie where I heard the genius music of Hans Zimmer. The animation, the music and the story telling makes this movie perfect.
You know we all have this one movie we played again and again as kids, could be the Lion King, or Frozen… for me it was The Prince of Egypt (would watch it over and over with my twin sister) and I am so proud of it cause this movie is a masterpiece!!! Haha so nice to see you make a video on this one 😀❤️

He probably remembered the song because in the Bible, his birth mother became one of his caretakers and the 10 plagues are an insult to some of the Egyptians gods. The plagues are things their gods are supposed to have control over

@@ambre_9774 Ralph Fiennes did his own singing. only Val Kilmer was dubbed by another actor.
The scenes in The Mummy were inspired by the 10 plagues of Egypt from this story, that's why it looked familiar. I think they even mention that in The Mummy.
Zuff, “Aaron” is a name from the bible. That’s where it comes from. Lol
To be fair, that is an anglicized version of the name.
I'm obsessed with the way Bryce corrected the alien comment. Ppl really think that stuff and it's like "bro slaves existed and they were definitely made to do all this shit" 😂
Slaves probably did not build the pyramids in particular, there's enough evidence of it being mainly skilled craftsmen. But there were slaves no doubt and they were almost certainly used for other megalithic constructions.
@@tau-5794 The fact that slaves would likely NOT have been needed for the pyramids is as much a criticism of the aliens idea as anything else. Just a determined group of people with a civilization capable of such civil projects. (whether by cruel labor or civil contribution or both)
Why would pharoes build pyramids with alien tech when they got slaves? It's way cheaper.
No one knows to a certainty. Pyramids aside the universe is still an incomprehensibly huge space. There's *always* a possibility something "unconventional" could've gone down in our history and even in modern times.
@@Beforezzz If something is unconventional and undetectable then it practically doesn't exist. Use the word 'always' carefully because it often makes your logic illogical.
Fun fact: Shrek was being made at the same time as this, but it was notoriously difficult and a pain in the ass because of the computers that wouldn't make stuff move the way people wanted it to move (they had to use hair texture on the grass because it wouldn't behave like grass for example). As such, working on Shrek was seen as a chore, and it was definitely used as punishment. Basically, when animators didn't do their job well enough on Prince of Egypt, they were sent to work on Shrek as punishment, and they called it "being shreked". At the time, they thought Shrek was going to flop, and that Prince of Egypt would be recognized as the masterpiece that it is, but the opposite happened. Good for Shrek, but this movie definitely deserves more recognition than it is getting.
I think part of that was the marketing. All of the marketing post-release was setting this up like a typical Disney morning cartoon/comedy. Even though the initial trailer showed this to be a massive epic, the TV spots were all "HAHA look at these goofie people doing goofy things!" Treasure Planet had the same problem.
not recognising the Nile the whole time was lowkey killing me haha
4:34 Rob is such an empathetic guy lol always the first one tearing up😭❤️
Love that for him tbh.
I know who Zuff is. Which one is Rob? And what's the other one's name?
@@IChooseJesus9091 in the middle, on the right is bryce
As a believer in God, I’m only 10 minutes in and I’m laughing so hard. “Parts that thing” had me in tears…you guys were wayyy too funny in this one
32:51 I don’t think you guys noticed, but I need you to know that Hotep and Huy are voiced by Steve Martin and Martin Short! Lol
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid! I feel like it was a big deal when it came out but I was 5 so I could be wrong 😂. The animation and score are breathtaking. Thanks for yet another great reaction! ❤️
There was a lot of hype when it came out (at least for movie buffs) because this was Dreamworks' first big animated film, and they went all out, including hiring a bunch of people away from Disney. Hans Zimmer for the score. Big names for the voices (which was still a newish thing back then).
43:18 That's actually the Angel of Death.
God of the Old Testament: a real "lesson learned now everythings cool" kinda guy 😂
Everything is cool FOR NOW.
But, to be fair here, as portrayed in the Old Testament, God does undeniable and cosmic level miracles every other week to save his people and yet, come the following Sunday, everyone is adoring foreign gods and burning his priests again, already. Rinse and repeat at least twice per book and you have the Old Testament.
No surprise he is so cranky.
@@edisonlima4647mhm, you watch the live action, old school movie adaptation of Moses bringing the commandments down from the mountains, he witnesses his people worshiping bronze idols of animals. So he throws down the commandments and smites them.
The years of wondering they'd continue to go through after their exodus from Egypt (gotta love name drops from the title) and the plagues visited upon them before arriving in Israel is immense.
@@edisonlima4647tbh, I understand why they kept sinning back then I always go back because it feels just right doing it even though Ik it's wrong. The only difference between me and the Israelites was unlike them I'm protected from The Father's anger (the one you see in the Old Testament) by Jesus mercy. I'm thankful I'm not dead yet cz I'd be if I was still under The Father's era.
This movie brought Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey together. That’s a classic just off that
but test audience roasted their version of the song so they axed it from the movie itsels and met the actresses sing it in the movie, because the wasted so much money on it they repurposed it for the end credits🤣. And to be fair, their version sucks so much...
46:32 "I think it was just their canal or whatever" THE NILE???? ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS RIVERS IN HISTORY??? Why am I getting so offended on behalf of this river omg ahaha I cannot believe three people don't know the Nile.
lmfaooo they know the nile, im sure. I think they was just focused on the movie and they were focused on the finding the red sea lol
Gen Z, bruh. our education system is a mess. But hey theyve got a reaction channel. Just the films and the comments probably teach them alot
@@thedappermagician6905 How tf u gonna blame Gen z for this wtf💀💀 I'm gen z and learn a lot history,you saw someone wrong on something and immediately blame the generation? Wow mate
So happy and surprised to see a reaction to this movie from you guys! I grew up watching it as a kid all the time. Being Jewish, it was for sure a staple of our entertainment. So glad to see more people seeing it and enjoying it! OK a few other things. Rob, yeah its the Red Sea so you're right! If you look at a map of modern Egypt you would see a body of water separating the Saini Peninsula from northern Egypt. The Hebrews crossed the sea and went back to settle their homeland of Israel. The singer who played Moses' mom is Ofra Haza, a famous Israeli/middle eastern singer who sadly died after the movie came out. ALSO FUN FACT, the two magicians, the skinny and fat one, can you guys guess which two men played them, you're currently watching a show which stars the both of them, and Selena ;)
yooo just wanted to say that i’ve been appreciating the reactions a bit extra lately. been dealing with an almost 3 year relationship coming to an end the last couple months & getting to watch your videos feels like hanging with the boys and having a laugh. really cheers me up when im down & allows me to forget about things for a while. much love to you guys, thank you for the positive vibes!
Oh my I did not realize you guys did not know the story of Moses. Knowing that story would have helped but 5 min in and now I really cannot wait to see this reaction.
The Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt to this day, which is why Moses turning it to blood was such a catastrophe. The Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, which separates Egypt from Asia, and after that they got to the Sinai Peninsula, where they got the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai and then wandered the desert for 40 years before moving on too the Holy Land. (Israel). BTW, The song, When You Believe, was made famous by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and the voice of Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, the guy from Independence Day and Jurassic Park
32:33 It is very funny hearing someone say 'Oh my god' while looking at a miracle of God.
31:13- Bryce just cutting straight to the heart of something people struggle with for years! Throughout the bible, god keeps sending people places or asking them to do things, and he never lays out the whole plan for them. When he called Abraham, he didn't even tell him where he was going... just leave and go to a place that I will show you. And here Bryce is just watching an animated movie and he immediately gets it- "God said just, I'll give you my hand... I'd just show up and be like, hey, he'll take over from here"
Zuff isn’t totally out of place to confuse Moses and Jesus. The Gospel writers were very intentional about drawing parallels between the two to drive home Jesus’ authority to a community that would’ve readily recognized Moses’.
I always thought it was an interesting choice for Moses’ mom Yoheved to be (presumably) dead when he grows up. Traditionally, Miriam offers to find a Hebrew woman for pharoah’s daughter to nurse Moses. She agrees and Miriam simply reunites Moses with his mom, so he has a continued relationship with her as a baby. In several screen adaptations, she’s still alive when he’s an adult. The Ten Commandments is my favorite live action adaptation if you guys ever want a nice biblical epic. The music (Elmer Bernstein) is incredibly memorable.
This was hella fun to watch! Thanks for all you do.
What I love about this movie is that it respects all the Abrahamic faiths as well as just being a banger story and a banger musical all at once. It makes it so that legitimately anyone can enjoy it, religious or not.
Rameses' hair in the beginning was the standard haircut called the Sidelock of Youth and was used to indicate the child was the royal heir. The god Horus was portrayed with one and it indicated he was the heir of Osiris so the heirs of Pharoah also wore them.
Zuff: “He is HANDSOOOMMEEE 👹”
The fact that none of you guys have seen this let alone heard of it at least is insane to me. My parents are Christian but they weren’t like going to church every Sunday or at all. And they didn’t force The Lord/God down our throats. They let us be ourselves in every aspect and make choices for ourselves. Even when it came to beliefs and believing in something. So I’m definitely not a religious person by any means. But I will admit I love to listen to a lot of the stories from the Bible and the thought/belief of/in God. Tbh I’m just a really open-minded person who likes to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas of what they think will happen after we pass. Anyway what I’m getting it at is that I absolutely love this movie so much I’ve always loved it! And the music and the cinematography it’s just a gorgeous film. The music is so epic and gives me so much strength. Literally just all the emotions lol 💜 It’s beautiful I’ve watched this movie so many times I get emotional every time watching it. These 2 brothers who loved each other so much to being against each other. The pain it hurts my heart every time to watch. It’s so heartbreaking 😔💔
what do you have to lose by exploring jesus. check out the chosen, i think youd be pleasantly suprised, there is a video where johnathan roumie meets with Gen Z and its phenomenal
Same!
Anyone else notice how wholesome, sweet, caring, respecful, and empathetic these guys ALWAYS are... and with very little bible/religious knowledge? 🤔
Something I love at the end is Rameses calling for Moses, which is a callback to when he was calling out his name when Moses left in the first place. The call is the same, but the intention is so different. The first time, he was calling out to him out of love, and the second, he was doing it out of hate. LOVE the parallel. Also, the first time Moses is running away out of shame and tries to ignore Rameses' call, but the second time, he acknowledges it and says his goodbyes. He's not running away from something anymore, he is simply going forward, and has made peace with his past. It's so good. Also yes those are the ten commandments, the movie ends bascially hours or even minutes before it all goes to sh*t so we can have our happy ending. The whole story from them racing at the beginning until the end seems to take place over the course of a couple years at most, but in the Bible, it happened over DECADES. Moses was an old guy by the time he returned to Egypt, it took a lot of time for the slaves to be allowed to leave, and if I remember correctly, they stayed out in the desert for a few more years/decades before Moses got the ten commandments.
It is very interesting watching it without any context to the biblical story- but not to be rude to you guys at all, but it introduces the film in the beginning by saying that this is an adaptation of the biblical story of Moses 😅
i'm wondering why they didn't read it. it'd have given so much more context
I was surprised by "I'm sort of getting like Christian vibes." Like... it throws me that someone can go their whole life in a western country not knowing anything about Moses.
or that this was a Jewish story…
@@beckylang91right this story is the most Jewish story!
“It looked a bit crowded” commentary at the end had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP Ofra Haza! (voice of Moses mother) BEAUTIFUL singer! Beautiful Israeli singer that passed two years after this was made in 2000 :(
Aside from the breathtaking animation, songs, voice acting, and visual storytelling, I'm always so impressed by how willing Dream Works was to not pull their punches. I watched this as a young kid with my young cousins and it has brutal slavery, a woman kidnapped to be r'ed by our protagonist, our protagonist killing someone (on accident) and then killing a lot of people on god's behalf, mass child death of the hebrews, plagues (including a blood river), and then mass child death of the non-Hebrew Egyptians. God in the bible doesn't mess around and it would be wrong to soften the edges for any portrayal. This movie was haunting as a kid and it certainly stuck around in my brain but I think this is a case study of how children can be trusted with more complicated and meaningful content. Outside of religious stories, there are many historical events that could be delivered to children in a way that's engaging, realistic, and memorable.
True 💯
Im an athiest but I adooorre this movie. A story that transcends faiths, backgrounds, nationalities. The songs and visuals are gorgeous! We watched it a few times when I was younger in school and we'd sing along, and to this day I watch it every few years. To me its one if the best movies ever created, animated or otherwise.
"This reminds me of the mummy." Well, what do you think where the makers of The Mummy got the idea of the Egyptian Plagues? XD
"Hes giving me John Stamos vibes" LOLOLOL 🤣😂😂😂
I and many others thought the "whale" shadow we saw was in fact a whale, except for the fact that whales have horizontal tales. That creature had a vertical tale, like idk, A SHARK! It was a megalodon! Also, the sea they crossed was the Red Sea. The water he put the plague of blood into was the Nile river. And yes, the ten commandments was given to Moses by God. When he came down from the mountain everyone was worshipping a golden calf and Moses had to correct them and bring them back to God.
It's a whaleshark, which is a kind of shark (the largest).
Unfortunately that involved killing some of them, according to the Torah. I love this movie, but it makes Moses look like a hippie when he was actually pretty hardcore.
You guys should definitely watch "Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron". It's pretty neat and the songs in it are AWESOME.
If you think this is old, you should try "The Land Before Time" or "An American Tail".
Co-signing An American Tail, another Jew-tastic animated classic!
I watched An American Tail so much as a kid. Every sleepover at my house, that movie was played.
im kinda shook by them not knowing the story of moses?? lmao even if ur a non-christian its one of those stories everyone knows about 😂
There's another reaction channel that watched this and he knew nothing of the story of Moses and was SUPER INTO IT. It was quite endearing. And a big compliment to the filmmakers.
it's wild lol i'm christian but i grew up learning about the greek gods for example. to me not knowing moses is like not knowing hercules. you don't have to be part of the faith to know the stories and characters. but i guess some really spent their whole life's not knowing any of it. which is so interesting to me
I actually think this movie (and probably other old iterations as well) was one of the big reasons why more secular people know the story. But before this movie came out, for me at least, I knew nothing and I know a lot of other people were the same but now since it's such a classic a lot of kids can grow up learning the story so it seems like it's always been super well known
@@V_4_Versacethat's a good point!! part of my school curriculum in the past covered anicent mythology, world religions, etc. but every school is different and if people aren't exposed to it, yeah it makes sense why they wouldn't know the details. some of these comments are a little iffy in regards to them not knowing certain things. i just mostly think it's interesting how people can grow up so similarly in a lot of ways and so differently in others.
And of course once the sister saw where his basket ended up and saw that the mother was going to accept that’s when she thought and sang ‘comeback and deliver us too’ but originally they were just praying for him to end up far away from their so he wouldn’t die
53:01 "need to shape up here" 😂😂
I loved this movie as a kid and it was amazing watching it again with y'all! The themes were very very intense, but I'm so glad Dreamworks didn't edit the harder parts out.
And Zuff is cracking me up thinking Jesus parted the Red Sea. 🤣
Moses parted the Red Sea. Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm, both times on the Sea of Galilee.
I don't have a religious bone in my body, but this movie and its music will always be an absolute banger.
Oh yeah! And Steve Martin and Martin Short are the high priests! lol
"it was just like their canal or whatever" You mean the Nile river? lmao!
Wow, I've never seen people go into watching this without even knowing that it's based on the Bible! I'm still in the intro section so I'm really intrigued to see how you go with that - or if you even realise!
Watching you all hear the story of Moses and the children of Israel for the first time, made me cry. I have known this story for so long, that I can’t even remember first hearing it. I so wish I could hear it for the first time like you all. One thing I find very comforting about all the children dying in this, is that they immediately were in the arms of Jesus. “And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:20
Finally got enough free time to watch this one and it made me sooo happy!! I've seen a few other reactions to this movie but they included a lot of snide comments about religion and people who believe this is a true story. It's really nice to see you guys being respectful and appreciating the story even if you're not religious. Also don't worry about looking dumb! I'd take ignorance over hostility any day of the week. Also, it's no surprise that this movie reminded you of so many other movies! So many stories reference the Bible in one way or another that it'd honestly be worth a read for the cultural references alone (although imo there are plenty of other reasons to read it too) :)
this comment right here!! i really appreciated how respectful they were even if they didn't understand, or know the story. they went into with such a respectful mindset and i appreciate it a lot.
Rob just waiting the whole time for Moses to part the sea...”lets go!..my life was not a lie”! 👏🤣
FUN FACT: For the last plague, God told Moses that Rameses would chose it when confronted. That’s why Moses was so panicked when his brother began to tell him he would do what their father did. Moses didn’t want his brother’s child to die, so he was trying to stop Rameses from finishing his sentence. He was basically telling Rameses to shut the hell up. But he didn’t, so God put his foot down and made his wish final.
Rameses brought the last plague upon himself. He killed his own child due to his pride and his ego, and Moses tried to stop him.
That’s also why Moses broke down. He never wanted this to happen to his brother or to the innocent Egyptian families. He never wanted to hurt the person he grew up with, but it had to be done in order to save his legacy and his people. All of that was so hard on him, and with Rameses deciding his own child’s fate, that was the final straw to make Moses break down and weep.
Fun fact: Hotel and Huy are actually voiced by Steve Martin and Martin Short from Only Murders in the Building :)
This cast is absurdly stacked. Val Kilmer (Moses), Ralph Fiennes (Rameses), Sandra Bullock (Miriam), Jeff Goldblum (Aaron), Patrick Stewart (Pharaoh), Michelle Pfeiffer (Tzipporah), and Steve and Marty. Everyone did their own singing as well as voice acting.
@@gigi-ij1hk Absolutely amazing cast!
One of my favorite little moments is when Pharaoh is talking to Moses about the purge. His face as he says “Sacrifices must be made” seems like he’s talking to himself as much as Moses. If you really wanna theorize, then I’d say the reason he ran into Moses was because Pharaoh has spent many a sleepless night contemplating the actions he took that day.
It’s so fascinating to see a POV from people that aren’t familiar with this story or this religion reacting to this. I was raised in the church and that was all I knew and it was abusive and manipulative but this was and still is one of my favorite movies the animation is beautiful and the music is a masterpiece
“I’m getting Catholic/Christian vibes.” I mean…. You aren’t technically wrong.
Well they are it’s Jewish before anything else
They are and they aren’t idk I’m Jewish I’d prefer people recognise it as Jewish first than Christian
@@becca9788Well just because you prefer it doesn’t mean that it should be seen as such. Cry me a river.
@@AhriFatima well considering it’s a film about Jews I think it should be that way
@@becca9788 Again, cry me a river
This movie is a MASTERPIECE
I'm an atheist. Anti-theist really, I tend to think religion is silly at best and downright evil at its worst. But I LOVE this movie. I even named my cat Ramesis after the Pharoah (don't get it twisted--I didn't see him as a good dude or anything, I just thought the name was so powerful and elegant and fit for my cat). I really like that they approached the story with honesty. The brutality of the slavery, Moses' original indifference to the plight of the Hebrews, the warmth and love between Ramesis and Moses as brothers, the fear of failing his father on Ramesis' part, Moses' reluctance to be the messenger, the brutality of God's punishment...Idk a lot of animated films that show children dying--I just thought it was really fleshed out and addressed the complexity of the stakes and emotions. Despite obviously not putting a lot of stock in the historical accuracy of the story, I still really enjoy the narrative. There's a French musical (theatre) adaptation of the story called "Les Dix Commandments" (the 10 Commandments) and there's this song "Mon Frere" (my brother) in it that is essentially like the one Moses and Ramesis sing together during the plagues here. It's so beautiful. It's a powerful story with powerful imagery and I think, for an animated film, it really does a great job of capturing that same emotional feeling. Anyway, yeah, great film. It really holds up. This and El Dorado are two of my favorite animated films of all time. OH! And the cast! Ralph Finnes is like the least famous person in the cast. haha. Seti (the father) was Patrick Stewart (Professor X from X-Men), Miriam was Sandra Bullock, Tzipporah was Michelle Pfiefer, Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, Tzipporah's father was Danny Glover...and they gave such great performance. I hope you liked the film!
Oooooh! Just started the video and I’m SO hyped for this 🥹🤗
“I think Jesus did that too” in reference to the 10 plagues had me giggling. 😂 Awesome reaction guys!
As a Christian who watched this as a kid I still love this movie. The music is top tier. Hilarious reaction as always, love your humor 🤣
Never clicked so quick on a video. I love the comment, “I’ll show up and he’ll take over.” That’s how it works, he wants us to show up and he’ll work through us. I encourage you to read the the Exodus story from the Bible to learn more about this story and how much God loved and forgave the Israelites.
loved your reaction not knowing the story at all!! especially because somehow zuff’s instincts were on point when it’s normally the other way around😂
Funny to hear him call Ramses Voldemort, because he was actually voiced by the same actor, Rey Fines (sorry if spelling is wrong)
The Red sea is a place, the Nile was turned to blood
I grew up watching this movie at church every year & it still is my favorite to this day, I’m so glad you guys got to watch it & experience it, I truly don’t think any other animated film has topped The Prince of Egypt, the music & the animations! Something I always think about is that God’s voice in the movie is just Moses’ voice in a stronger tone which is so interesting and cool, the Passover scene when God takes the lives of the first born sons is so interesting too because of the visuals and sound, it’s not scary but powerful. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. rob ily & ur reactions too! “gods like hold up lemme cook” 😭 love u guys!
An animated retelling of The Ten Commandments.
That small river is called the Nile, which is what runs throughout Egypt and is where the Egyptians settled and lived and built their civilization that is ruled by their king( The Pharaoh)
Yalls comments have me laughing lol 😂 “take your sandals off brother.”
that part had me laughing too lmao
cool thing I noticed on rewatch, after Moses talks to Pharaoh in the beginning he is whistling his birth mother's lullaby which helps imply that the song she prayed he would remember was still somewhere in the back of his mind
"Is that to represent all of the blood spilt?"
Me: EXACTLY!
About the children dying, it sounds pretty messed up that God would go ahead and kill lots of children, right? But apparently, God had said that Pharaoh himself would choose the 10th and last plague, so God didn't actually choose that one. That's why Moses looks so horrified when Rameses says he's going to do the same thing as his father, that's why he tries to cut him off in his tirade. By saying that, Rameses is choosing the last plague, which will affect his own son. That's why Moses says "You bring this upon yourself". I's not a "well, you're not changing your mind so deal with the consequences", it's a "you chose this plague that is going to kill your son".
exactly!!!! i was waiting for someone to mention this!
Well shit....I was going to go eat something, then I got a notification for this reaction lol.... but now I need to sit and watch this XD Prince of Egypt is a favorite reaction movie of mine....It's SO good! Even if you aren't religious....the Bible is a very interesting read.
I was raised catholic so for some reason I thought its literally impossible to not know the story of Moses😂
Like OBVIOUSLY people all have different knowledge 😂😂😂 but Im so used to that just being basic knowledge in my life that I kept being BAFFLED at them not knowing about the Pharao ordering the murder of the babies or like about the burning bush and stuff.
Again NOT a criticism of them! I am enjoying this immensely.
Just sort of a little anecdote about how sometimes you are so used to something that you forget not everyone has similar experiences and sometimed it just hits you😂
right!! i'm christian but i grew up learning greek mythology. not knowing moses would be like to me not knowing hercules lol
Y'all should react to the series The Chosen!!!
YESSSSS❤
Watch the Hunchback of Notre dame!
Fun Fact, Rob, Bryce, and Zuff.
Seti and later Rameses advisors Huy and Hotep are voiced by Martin Short and Steve Martin of "Only Murders in the Building".
On another note would love for you three to react to the 1956 live action version of this story staring Charlton Heston, on another of your movie nights.
"This reminds me of the plagues in The Mummy." Yeah, almost like they got it from the same source or something 😂😂😂
The animation, the music is beautiful ❤this movie is a masterpiece ❤
The only thing I knew about this movie was the Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey duet of when you believe I always wanted to watch it cause I love the song but yeah this was cool I liked seeing rob trying to figure out if he’s right about Moses parting the Red Sea lol and yes Moses did the 10 commandments
As a protestant theology student who adores this movie, it was hilarious to watch you guys experience it with almost no previous knowledge of the Biblical background, I really appreciated that perspective and got a lot of amusement out of the confusion xD What I really love about this movie tho apart from it being a great adaption of the story with valuable messages, I think everyone can appreciate it for the well done work of art it is, no matter of you're religious or not. The animation, the music, it's just awesome in itself honestly
If you haven't already, please watch the epic classic, "The Ten Commandments". Thanks guys
I would LOVE to see you guys do a movie night where you react to "She's All That" unless you've already seen it. 🤷🏻♀️ But yeah I think that's be so fun and I can see you guys rlly loving it.
I literally can’t imagine going into this movie with no context whatsoever.
So nice that you guys reacted to this movie, it is a masterpiece. But it kind of baffled me that you guys never heard of the ten (not seven) plagues of Egypt story. The movie reminds you guys of The Mummy because those movies have elements of the 7 (10 actually, my bad) plagues of Egypt and Moses' story from the Exodus! But, as always, I really enjoyed your reaction❤ Also the river Moses turned into blood it was the Nile😊
Sweetheart...it's 10 plagues...
@leahkotlarchyk679 you are right, my bad.😊
Lol, no problem. I went and looked it up because I was wondering if there were some faulty translations out there. Ends up, yes. There are some wackadoo English translations of the "complete" bible (aka, old and new testaments) that seem to have combined some of the plagues together for some reason. @aola91
I love this movie, one of the most accurate representations of the Exodus story in any movie I’ve ever seen, and the music is amazing!
This is crazy this is the first time I've seen adults who didn't know what this movie was but especially ones that didn't know it was about the story of Moses. But yeah this movie is incredible especially for when it was made I feel so bad for you guys hoping they'll be some sort of redemption for the kids but God just does not play at all about killing kids In the Bible he'll just take life relentlessly. But yeah the music and the animation just it makes a biblical story so universal and just such an incredible film
Zach is rockin' that 90s boy band hairstyle.
This is my favorite animation movie since I saw it as a child when it came out.
This was the first movie where I heard the genius music of Hans Zimmer. The animation, the music and the story telling makes this movie perfect.
You know we all have this one movie we played again and again as kids, could be the Lion King, or Frozen… for me it was The Prince of Egypt (would watch it over and over with my twin sister) and I am so proud of it cause this movie is a masterpiece!!! Haha so nice to see you make a video on this one 😀❤️
What a throw back! Haven’t seen this since like 2006, great pick for movie night 😊
i think you guys will also enjoy "Joseph the King of dreams"
BEST reaction to the movie out of all on TH-cam!!!
One of my favorite animated films. Truly beautiful ❤
