Easily 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 :)

Oh my god I was so waiting for this, but I need to go to work 😭😭😭. I'll have to be patient and watch it tonight. Can't wait!

Oh my goodness YES! I was praying you'd get around to this one! And I knew you'd absolutely love it! Too late in my time zone, but can't wait to hop in tomorrow ❤️ More gems for you to consider: -*anything you continue to catch from the Disney Renaissance, or even the golden age classics -Road to El Dorado -The Iron Giant -The Secret of NIMH -Balto -If there's any interest in stop motion, I'd highly recommend Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, Kubo and the Two Strings, Fantastic Mr. Fox

Whoaaaaa I was not expecting this reaction! What an incredible film to get to experience with you!! You continue to be one of my favorite reactors, thanks for giving us such wonderful gifts! 😊

It's been so long since I watched this but it was one of my favorite while growing up. You know a movie is good when is heavily religious and an atheist guy as myself still loves it 🤣

KaijinGarou

The songs are plain ridiculous. I have them on Spoty.

This baby has already faced more dangers than I will probably ever do 🤣

Thank you Oscar! You are a joy to watch, keep it up 😊

KaijinGarou

I'm glad those two could finally put to use that contingency plan for guests who turn their staff into cobras. They were so ready for that 🤣

We sang the song When You Believe in choir a few years ago, that was one of the most emotional performances we ever had and I didn't even know the movie back then. Now with the context of the scene, the song becomes even more special. I get goosebumps everytime I hear the "Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill".

Truly one of the best animated movies ever made, it's stunning in every aspect! I really enjoyed this reaction, really interesting hearing your thoughts when you were already so familiar with the source material! :D Fun fact for you (and everyone else who didn't know): Ofra Haza, who played the part of Moses' mother in Deliver Us, also sang that part in 17 other languages when the movie was translated and dubbed. She learned what she was going to sing phonetically, and as far as I'm aware nailed it in every instance. I can't speak for any of the other languages but I've watched the movie a hundred times in my native Norwegian and her ability to infuse her performance with so much hope and grief while singing in a language she doesn't even know is mindblowing.

One of my favorites of all time! This coming from an atheist. Just beautiful! :)

Yess. So glad you got to experience this film. Even now it’s still incredible with its animation and story telling. I really appreciate that while God showed Moses his great power when at the burning bush, there was also the moment of reassurance the He would be with him. Side note: The voice of Rameses is none other than Voldemort himself!

Hey there! New patron here 👋🏻 What a joy it was to watch this film with you! It had been at least a decade since I’d last seen it, and I was amazed at the differences in what moved me now compared to when I was a kid. When I was younger I totally got the weight of the physical abuse of the slaves and the existential threat of the plagues. But only as an adult did I really feel the heart-wrenching depth of a mother sending her child away, not knowing what was to become of him, as well as the tragedy of the relationship between two brothers (I really felt it when Moses wept after the death of Ramses’ son). Anyway, the cast of this film is stupendous, and I don’t care what anyone says, casting Jeff Goldblum is never a mistake! My sister and I used to quote “ohyoudidntseecuzyoudidnt… WISH to see… AHHH” all the time 😂

Geothro

Fun fact, the voice actor for Ramses (Ralph Finnes) is the same actor who plays Voldemort. Also, casting Sir Patrick Stewart as Seti (pharaoh) was an excellent move. Great casting all around really.

Kaitlin Bolander

Amazing movie right? I especially love the Deliver Us and Plagues song. Btw…I’m new here so why (for the longest time) did we have to have our own copies to watch the full movies with you? I just now realized you switched to Streamable

Rhetorical Thrill

One of my favorite aspects in this, from a filmmaking standpoint anyway, is the choice to have God speak in Moses's own voice. Because, how do you cast someone to be the voice of God? It makes perfect sense that He would speak to us in our own voices. I've also been going through a rough patch and I think I really needed to hear Through Heaven's Eyes today. You didn't know that, of course, but someone did, and thanks for doing it in any case 💜

*An afterthought: I can't recommend enough watching/reading any behind-the-scenes stuff about this movie. I cannot fathom the amount of love, care, and passion that went into it. Firstly, I feel so heartened by the fact that this was the first full length animated movie in history to be co-directed by a woman: Brenda Chapman. Pretty amazing to see for 1998---Disney animation didn't even do this until 2013. There's a written interview that came out recently for The Prince of Egypt's 25th anniversary, and it's so interesting reading about Brenda's experience. They consulted hundreds of religious experts across different faiths; the red sea sequence took I think two years to animate; that immortal voice of Ofra Haza (RIP), is really something else---I believe she lent her voice to at least a dozen different languages. And gosh the score, the songs! I'll never get over how incredible that music is. Hans Zimmer is severely underrated for his work here. I adore hearing the similarities/inspiration from The Lion King at the conclusion of "Deliver Us" with that final cut-off note after the crescendo. Anyway could go on and on about it. I wasn't raised religious, and I hold this as one of the best animated---nay, one of the best-of-any-genre, movies of all time. The scale, the emotion, the beauty. Just timeless.

Hans Zimmer and all of the artists and musicians who worked with him knocked it out of the park and into orbit with this score.

Dayyum. I haven't watch this for at least 20 years. I dont recall this movie being so sad. Probably because I was just a kid and don't really understand English that well. Now as an adult I literally cried a river watching this. Haha. Awesome reaction.

Kitty Underwood

So glad you finally got the opportunity to watch this amazing movie. It makes me cry every time, it really is so beautiful. 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

I 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!

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.

Im an athiest but this film is very good.

In answer to your question of how many there were (the Hebrews coming out of Egypt) - the most specific number we have is from the census taken 2 years later (in the first chapter of Numbers) - which lists only men 20+ who were able to serve in the army, and from every tribe except the Levites (priests, relatives of Moses, etc.) - and that's 603,550. So counting Levites, women and children, and presumably elderly and disabled as well, easily several million.

Interesting fact about the plagues: They weren't just "random" plagues. God chose each one to be in direct opposition to an egyptian god. Like the frogs i found most interesting - frogs were holy in egypt and you werent allowed to kill them because of their fertility goddess. So sending the frogs - in droves - in your house in your bed in your bakeware in your oven - and the goddess that's supposed to have control over them aint doing nothing about them. The gnats came from the dust of the earth, and geb could do nothing about them. Boils broke out on every egyptian, the magicians ran away, and Isis and Sekmet could not cure it. The final plague, death of the first borns, was not only poetic justice, but was in direct opposition to pharaoh, who believed himself a god amongst men. But not even he could stop death. Also interesting - Moses was put in the basket when he was 3 months old. Pharaoh's daughter actually found him and also saw Miriam. Moses was subsequently nursed by his own mother, and returned to the palace as a young child. Most agree he would have been between 3 - 5 years old. Also, a lack of faith would be expected among the israelites, as they had been in egypt for approx. 400 years at that point. Since Joseph brought his father and brothers there. Inevitably some them no doubt "went over" to the egyptian pantheon. And especially after being subjugated to such brutal slavery, they would hardly be human if they didnt believe God had forsaken them. Still studying my way through the rest of exodus, but the first 2 books of the bible have been WILD. If one realllly reads to comprehend. Wild.

Such an amazing movie. Val Kilmer. Ralph Fiennes. It's an amazing depiction of the Exodus story. EDIT: Omg, dude. You said, "The Passover" and the name of the holiday just clicked in my head. I'm 48 and have grown up around Jewish people my entire life.
