Im not religious in the slightest, but I still love this movie so much. Its so beautiful and captures emotional moments very well. Not to mention the risk it took for being a kids film. This has to be one of, if not the best, religious movies out there.
It's actually agreed upon by several different religions that it's the best and most accurate movie to portray the story of Moses. It's also just one of the most accurate religious movies to exist
I used to be religious and am not anymore, but I will die on the hill of this movie being an absolute fucking masterpiece. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time, and I don't see that ever changing. Great writing, gorgeous art and animation, and a soundtrack that's one absolute banger after another. What more could you ask for? 💗
Part that haunts me the most about this All those men doing grueling back breaking labor just so they can go home and find out all thier newborn babies were grusomely murdered
No movie has ever touched me like The Prince of Egypt has. My whole life. And every time I have come to see it. Since the first time I saw it in the first or second grade in PSR. To now. It makes me tremble. I remember every feeling I felt the first time I saw it when I was just a child. Moses. My God. Dear Moses.
Amy Rosalind right I’m remember endlessly crying when the babies were being ripped from their mothers grasp and then being thrown into the crocodiles mouths
I grew up on this movie, and yet no matter how many times I hear this song, it never fails to send those little electric chills down my spine and make my eyes well up, especially during the River Lullaby section
2:14 - "My soft and sweet boy, don't be frightened, don't be scared". I love how the movie has so many Hebrew phrases and words, makes me feel like i belong and can relate to my people and what they go through in this movie. It's so underrated.
Hush now, my baby, be still love, dont cry. Sleep as ur rocked by the stream, sleep and remember my last lullaby, so ill be with u, when u dream. River oh river! Flow gently for me. Such precious cargo u bear, do u know somewhere, he can live free? River deliver him there~ Brother your safe now, and safe may u stay. For i have a prayer just for u. Grow baby brother, come back someday, come and deliver us too~~.
This movie has such a perfect opening. The music is amazing! It really makes you feel the grandeur and scale of the world these characters exist in. And the song the mother sang to her child was so heartbreaking to listen to as if you watch the rest of the film you’ll find that this truly was the last time she ever saw her child.
It’s so incredibly fascinating, watching this movie as an atheist and former Christian. It still sends chills down my spine like it did when I was a kid in Sunday school. That lullaby has stuck with me ever since the first time I saw it. Absolutely amazing
Sorry to hear you left, but yeah, it really is an amazing song no matter what you believe in. I really hope there'll be more faithful Bible adaptations in the future, instead of stuff like Noah...
@@myname9252I grew up Jewish and became an atheist after my Bat Mitzvah. I still don't believe in Judaism but im trying to get closer to my culture by going to temple. Anyway, I like it because it's good and because it portrays my culture accurately
Ofra Haza has like the most amazing voice that I have ever heard such a shame that she had to die and missed out on the rest of the 2000s! This is also an amazing film on the Biblical Tale of Moses, of him leading the captives to the promised land.
A moment for the absolutely stunning music this movie has and the singing, the lyrics...all this must have taken a lot of hard work. Lots and lots of love for their whole team their work is soo great.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well if that helps you, these were laborers who did that. Not slaves. Not really. But then again I suppose it doesn't make THAT much of difference if we look it from today's perspective since they still worked many many hours every day and they were being paid in food
Mom: river, oh, river flow gently for me...such precious cargo you bear River: okay *as the baby is tossed through all types of danger* Other than that this movie is EVERYTHING! 💛💛💛
River: I cannot prevent the crocodiles and the hippos from battling in my waters. I cannot help it, if people were fishing and rowing their boats upon my surface. Yet, I still managed to guide that little baby into the Egyptian princess' bathing area so get off my back!
I’d like to think that Satan was controlling the crocodiles attempting to attack/eat the basket whereas the hippos were controlled by God protecting the child away from the croc
The "danger" is what landed Moses basket right there in the palace. Good example of you dont always know what Gods doing. It make look one way but his design and timing is always perfect.
One of my all time favourite films. Beautifully made with art and music. However... in the Bible, Moses was actually found my pharoah’s daughter, not his wife, and Miriam was her slave girl who asked the pharoah’s daughter if she would like a Hebrew woman to look after him until he was old enough to become her son. The Hebrew woman was actually Moses’ mother so she was paid to look after her own son before he became the son of the pharoah’s daughter!
But if Miriam was their slave, didn’t they know their own slaver went through pregnancy and a painful delivery??? The large amount of natural Bleeding afterwards. I believe in God but some of the stories in the Bible leave me with so many questions.
I can't watch this movie without crying during the River Scene. Seeing Mosses mother have to place her faith in the River to carry him away from a tyrannical army that will kill him breaks my heart everytime. The idea that as a mother the best decision for her child was to be separated from him for the rest of her days to ensure he lives tears me inside so much. Just watching the river pull the basket from her hands as she almost tries to grasp it one last time makes me wonder if any adult can get past this scene without crying.
The Prince of Egypt (1998) opening, The Lion King (1994) opening, & Beauty & the Beast (1991) openings are the best movie openings I’ve seen. “I pray we’ll meet again.” *It crushes my heart that she was never able to.*
Yocheved is such a tragic character. She let her child into the mercy of the elements and potentially hostile people in hopes that he would have a chance at life. We can only hope that Miriam told her that Tuya had taken him in as her own child, so at least she would know Moses was safe in the end and would pass away content that her youngest son lived.
She did tell her mother according to Exodus, chapter 2, verses 7-10, Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.” Hope this helps.
That's right, in the original story Miriam followed Moses and when she saw that Pharaoh's daughter took him, she suggested a Hebrew caretaker which is their mother herself! Pretty cool. Basically Moses' mother is still the one who raised him in the end.
Have you seen Pixar? All it's movies have a moral and a story which make it fun to watch and light hearted. This movie is dark and so it gives the viewers an amazing experience. They are two different styles completely.
@@liberTEA02 idk if you've noticed, but they learned their lesson and now they are starting to do alot more original new movies than just sequels. There might be sequels here and there, but it won't be as common as the 2010 era was
Well I grew with this tale, learned this tale but now, just now I can see how much it’s hard for a mom to send her child in a basket into the river. And it was really hard to watch it. And I knew that if I were instead of the sister I would probably interrupt this princess, or, you know crying my soul
I cry everytime I watch this scene It so touching to me even though I am not religious in any way. I just cant bare the fact of what mothers could have possibly went through ❤❤
I first watched this when I was four and somehow knew what she meant by "My last lullaby"......I knew why she was saying goodbye. I knew what the Egyptians were doing, and I knew why. The only thing I never understood was how could someone be so heartless and cruel? Are people just meant to be that way? This part of the movie doesn't bring me to tears though. I know it sounds just wrong not to cry. But after seeing it I just stared off into nothing lost in my thoughts....why am I writing this? You're just wasting time. Anyways thanks for reading if you did. Goodbye.
@@sage2good And not proven to be true. There is no proof that this historically happened. It is more to the sphere of allegory than historical reality. The same way that Israelites were paid laborers and not slaves. (well of course Egypt doesn't have coin economy so yeah it doesn't make much different to modern eye that they are being paid in bread and beer and work 13 hours a day). Egypt in fact used way fewer slaves than other nations of their time. The slaves were mostly use in houses rather than in large scale. Israelites also lived in Egypt at least since Middle Kingdom and even had their own share of authority in the Second Intermediate period. I don't think we should believe this as historical reality down to every word. I think the Exodus is a great allegory of how Egypt lost some grounds to the eastern boarders in Canaan region.

@@asperger558 There are not any records apart from the bible and its books to indicate that a mass of people wanted to leave a country at the same time as far as I know. Egypt began losing grounds at that time so the mass exodus can be a symbolism of those east grounds left egyptian control at those times. There is no historical record of Israelites being overly-populating Egypt and Egypt seeing them as threats. Apart from the re-taking the authority from the Hyksos (Hyksos are often paralleled with Joseph's story in the bible) there is no record of a mass of Israelites wishing to leave. Avaris was florishing years after Tuthmoses death and many consider it as equivalent to Pi-Ramesse, the capital of Ramses. There is no record for mass slaughters of babies or any sort of stuff like that either. There are some theories about plagues that hut Babylon and Egypt from time to time (probably something like smallpox or something similar)which can be indicated by the ten plagues as a tough period of time in the area. The mass movement of populations during such times of crisis are common, especially for people who already did have some tendency of moving around. I have heard people trying to interpret Exodus as an actual battle where Israelites fought to get out of Egypt but as far as my knowledge go, our only source of such mass movement is the Bible. We don't even have archaeological evidence as far as I know. Naturally I haven't heard of a Pharaoh being drowned in the Red Sea either. Israelites or Canaanites were coming and going from Egypt all the time and plenty of them began working in Egyptian army or in works that required labor. Hyksos also brought knowledge in Egypt like the chariot with wheels. So no the bible is not history but it is really interesting to search deeper into its meanings and find some historical evidence in it
The 'Prince Of Egypt' is the best animated movie ever to be made by DreamWorks. The animators were so taken with Ofra Haza they literally based Yocheved upon Ofra, paying homage to her beauty, her nefesh (soul) and her stunning and powerful voice. The songs move me to tears and it's even more powerful if you hear it in Hebrew.
Amy Grant is UNDERRATED as a singer. I mean, good god, every time i listen to her sing this part it sends chills up and down my spine. Even in the karaoke version where you can just barely hear the ghost of her voice on good headphones, it's haunting as heck. She's so good. I want to sing just like that someday. I hope she does Broadway musicals or something epic like that someday. The world needs to give her more non-pop parts like this. IN FACT PLEASE MAKE THIS A BROADWAY MUSICAL PLEASE!
Prince of Egypt and lion king compositions Were done by Hans Zimmer. Notice how the beginning always begins with a dramatic score that gives power to the tone of the movie from the get go
I remember when this movie came out I don't remember how old I was but I was maybe my early teens my mom and my grandmother went to see eyes wide open and I saw this movie by myself the first song in the movie kind of got me a little bit but when I saw parts of the movie of the song that's when it literally ripped my gut and when anytime I'm able to watch the movie there's a couple of songs in the movie that literally just make me straight up how far to nowhere
This movie is among the most epic - depicting the legends the western world is build upon. But when we watch our biblical ancestors suffer so must we beware of people who suffers today. Israel should have compassion for the palestians and figure out a peaceful solution!
This is a 1998 classic from DreamWorks! Even if you don’t have any religious beliefs, it’s a story worth telling that really captures the essence and emotion of people in hardship and despair. But never once did they lose faith whether they know it’s there or not.
Seti killed So Many Babies to Find the True Deliver Which was Moses That was why his Mother Had to Deliver him to Egypt With Bithiah and Rameses. seti was a Cold Blooded Monster Murder
He had no idea there would be one specific person to free the hebrews, he says it himself in the movie he had the babies killed as a sick form of population control to keep the hebrews from being too numerous for their own good
Ok, I do NOT understand why they are taking babies (probably for a bad cause) but it was a good idea for Moses to end up NOT dead and with the Egyptians, and years later save thousands or millions of people. Thank you dreamworks
“And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.” Exodus 1:9-10 KJV
You both wrong. In the story there was a prophecy that a male Hebrew man will born and betray the Egypt, and send the Hebrew people to the promised land. So Parho said every Hebrew boy that will born must die
@@רוןגורליק-ה5ע That’s in the Jewish Torah and The Islamic Quan- In the Bible Pharaoh ordered the newborn male Hebrew children slaughtered because he viewed them as a threat should they grow and rebel against the Egyptians (Sources- I took a community college course on religion one semester and studied all three Abrahamic religions, I’m also a Catholic)
I will always believe in the Christian tenet of treating your neighbor as yourself. Do I believe in God? Not sure. I mean it can’t hurt. But if this movie proves anything it’s that stringent belief systems are a scourge. Compassion is always the most important.
@@paulsteinhauser434 the old appoints to the redeemer promised in Genesis, the one by whom nations would be blessed promised to Abraham, and the Christ who would sit in David's throne. All sacrifices and ordinances and the very law appointed him to be the accomplishment of everything, the exodus shows us how God works salvation for us, it's an example of how the salvation would be, but now it is the salvation of our soul, something that it is difficult to understand, that's why he shows us the exodus.
The movie didnt really follow some parts in exodus BUT that doesnt mean its not the best movie ive watched. Like watching it 8 times in 2 days?. Yeh ITS DA BEST
Did this scene remind any musical theatre fans out there of "Look Down” from Les Miserables? I wouldn't be surprised if Dreamworks was inspired by that musical in creating this masterpiece of a film.

This masterpiece fills my heart. This masterful work of art is just beyond beautiful.
I had a hard time watching this film as a kid...because just seeing Yocheved sing goodbye to Moses made me cry. ;_;
Yocheved is such a tragic character. She let her child into the mercy of the elements and potentially hostile people in hopes that he would have a chance at life. We can only hope that Miriam told her that Tuya had taken him in as her own child, so at least she would know Moses was safe in the end and would pass away content that her youngest son lived.
She did tell her mother according to Exodus, chapter 2, verses 7-10, Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?” “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.” Hope this helps.
That's right, in the original story Miriam followed Moses and when she saw that Pharaoh's daughter took him, she suggested a Hebrew caretaker which is their mother herself! Pretty cool. Basically Moses' mother is still the one who raised him in the end.

“Deliver us, send us shepherd to shepherd us and deliver us bondage
Deliver us to the promise land!”
I used to sing this to my daughter...and now my son...
im not religious ad never really was, but i grew up watching this movie and the opening makes me cry every single time
The 'Prince Of Egypt' is the best animated movie ever to be made by DreamWorks. The animators were so taken with Ofra Haza they literally based Yocheved upon Ofra, paying homage to her beauty, her nefesh (soul) and her stunning and powerful voice. The songs move me to tears and it's even more powerful if you hear it in Hebrew.
I always got the chills from the song the mother sang
Anyone can stand up to adversity. Giving someone power is the true test of character.
This movie was a masterpiece. So sad it got cancelled from Netflixa few months ago. But at least I can still watch this masterpiece on YT
Amy Grant is UNDERRATED as a singer. I mean, good god, every time i listen to her sing this part it sends chills up and down my spine. Even in the karaoke version where you can just barely hear the ghost of her voice on good headphones, it's haunting as heck. She's so good. I want to sing just like that someday. I hope she does Broadway musicals or something epic like that someday. The world needs to give her more non-pop parts like this.
IN FACT PLEASE MAKE THIS A BROADWAY MUSICAL PLEASE!
This is not Amy Grant, it is Ofra Haza.
Every time I hear one sentence of this song I start bawling.
In my top ten list for thing to watch when I want to cry
I start sobbing whenever I hear this song
You can feel the Energy of the Film...
A hidden Gem among many of DreamWorks Films...
dat neck though...5:44
I can't un-see that now
Pretty sure it’s just her hair covering her shoulders and the skin going to her upper chest... but still
True quality can be seen by all,
No matter religion, race, or homeland
The first 6 minutes of this movie could literally be it's own short film. Thats how good it is
Love this movie
What a moving song..
Ofra Haza sang this song in ALL the other languages as well!! I don't know how she managed but her voice is just haunting!
Is it weird that this feels like my own personal lullaby. I have such nostalgia for this song (born in 92)
Prince of Egypt and lion king compositions Were done by Hans Zimmer. Notice how the beginning always begins with a dramatic score that gives power to the tone of the movie from the get go
I remember when this movie came out I don't remember how old I was but I was maybe my early teens my mom and my grandmother went to see eyes wide open and I saw this movie by myself the first song in the movie kind of got me a little bit but when I saw parts of the movie of the song that's when it literally ripped my gut and when anytime I'm able to watch the movie there's a couple of songs in the movie that literally just make me straight up how far to nowhere
This song is so sad it makes me want to cry. 😢😭😿💔
This movie is among the most epic - depicting the legends the western world is build upon. But when we watch our biblical ancestors suffer so must we beware of people who suffers today. Israel should have compassion for the palestians and figure out a peaceful solution!
To think this studio also pumped out boss baby decades later
4:30 [Mother Vocalizing]
Why did this make me laugh? XD
I love the detail where his mom rhymes lullaby with dream instead of die
This is a 1998 classic from DreamWorks! Even if you don’t have any religious beliefs, it’s a story worth telling that really captures the essence and emotion of people in hardship and despair. But never once did they lose faith whether they know it’s there or not.
Seti killed So Many Babies to Find the True Deliver Which was Moses That was why his Mother Had to Deliver him to Egypt With Bithiah and Rameses. seti was a Cold Blooded Monster Murder
Miles Morales he caused so much pain but it was all for nothing, what an oof
He had no idea there would be one specific person to free the hebrews, he says it himself in the movie he had the babies killed as a sick form of population control to keep the hebrews from being too numerous for their own good
@@proxbox3995 This is why Seti is In Hell Today
Is so sad that Netflix took this movie out
Imagine going into the theater thinking “Man this is going to suck.” And then it opens like this.
I'm literally watching this 3 days straight and I'm crying 3 days straight srly.....
Am I the only one that cries with this?
And from Moses came the bloodline of our savior☦️♥️
I cry a Nile river every time I watch this scene.
Me and my siblings sing this song when we have to clean the house it’s super funny
Ok, I do NOT understand why they are taking babies (probably for a bad cause) but it was a good idea for Moses to end up NOT dead and with the Egyptians, and years later save thousands or millions of people.
Thank you dreamworks
Marz :3 The Hebrew population in Egypt was growing too quickly, so they killed the male children as a means of keeping them under control.
“And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.”
Exodus 1:9-10 KJV
You both wrong. In the story there was a prophecy that a male Hebrew man will born and betray the Egypt, and send the Hebrew people to the promised land. So Parho said every Hebrew boy that will born must die
@@רוןגורליק-ה5ע That’s in the Jewish Torah and The Islamic Quan- In the Bible Pharaoh ordered the newborn male Hebrew children slaughtered because he viewed them as a threat should they grow and rebel against the Egyptians (Sources- I took a community college course on religion one semester and studied all three Abrahamic religions, I’m also a Catholic)
The masterpiece that rivals vegietales
The queen was a special person indeed. She could have been flayed just the same for what she did but Mother carries a heavier crown than Queen.
i subscribed and liked
I will always believe in the Christian tenet of treating your neighbor as yourself. Do I believe in God? Not sure. I mean it can’t hurt. But if this movie proves anything it’s that stringent belief systems are a scourge. Compassion is always the most important.
The part when the Egyptian guard shoved the mother out the way and kills her baby 😭
DreamWorks in 1990's: "Prince of Egypt"
DreamWorks now: "Boss baby, Mr Peabody and Sherman, Skrek"
a story that came from the Exodus
The Exodus tells the pain and suffering of Israel.
The exodus tells us how we were captives of sin and how Jesus set us free
@@eduardodelarosa7404 this is the old Testament not the New Testament.
@@paulsteinhauser434 the old appoints to the redeemer promised in Genesis, the one by whom nations would be blessed promised to Abraham, and the Christ who would sit in David's throne. All sacrifices and ordinances and the very law appointed him to be the accomplishment of everything, the exodus shows us how God works salvation for us, it's an example of how the salvation would be, but now it is the salvation of our soul, something that it is difficult to understand, that's why he shows us the exodus.
@@eduardodelarosa7404 I know what you're saying. But remember this was years before Jesus.
You men know you don't have to whip people to make them build faster
Well, it's all about fear and control.
Kinda think the river only heard half that message
Love this 😇
The movie didnt really follow some parts in exodus BUT that doesnt mean its not the best movie ive watched. Like watching it 8 times in 2 days?. Yeh ITS DA BEST
Crazy how much can be fit in 6 minutes
I know right!! It’s actually what I was thinking!! This scene feels like 15 minutes!
This song is sweet and sad at the same time the poor slave's 😮
Did this scene remind any musical theatre fans out there of "Look Down” from Les Miserables? I wouldn't be surprised if Dreamworks was inspired by that musical in creating this masterpiece of a film.
