"The Prince of Egypt" (1998 | Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner & Simon Wells) - The plagues of Egypt are unleashed upon Ramses (Ralph Fiennes) by Moses (Val Kilmer)

TIL how stacked that cast was. Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. What?!

yep… *He’s playing with the Big Boys now…*

Maybe the best soundtrack of any animated film ever. *Through Heaven's Eyes*, *Playing with the Big Boys*, and *The Plagues* could all be the best song on any other film and here one of them has to finish in 3rd place

Such a good film. It's on my short list of best animated films of all time.

10/10 soundtrack all the way around.

Thus said the Lord

I feel like animated movies aren't made with the same occasional philosophy of "f*** it, let's go way harder than anyone would expect or consider reasonable" anymore.

As an adult, I enjoyed that movie a lot. The animation, the colors, the music ... I really had no ideea that Ralph Fiennes could sing (since I read that he sang his part in that movie)❣

I'm not religious, but that movie is brilliant. The part where they are under the ocean is my favourite.

Watched this again after 20+ years not seeing it. Surround sound and everything in the room. Brought me to tears the production was so beautiful.

Full of incredible songs and animations. My favorite part is when they’re walking across the floor of the Red Sea and the lightning flashes illuminate the whales in the water above them.

Reading this part in the Bible is part of what caused me to start questioning Christianity as a kid. I remember it saying that God himself hardened the Pharaoh's heart against setting the slaves free during the plagues - only to turn around and unleash devastation on innocent people, eventually killing all the firstborn. I couldn't imagine a loving God doing that.

I'm not even a religious person but this movie goes so hard. I stumbled on this cover of [Deliver Us](https://youtu.be/YD8mZmGSDNc?si=lLN1-oXsstF4VOuw) a few years ago and it lives rent free in my head (music video is a little corny but the audio is fantastic)

I love this scene, the song and the visuals just work perfectly. This is for sure my N1 best animated film ever made!

Such a great movie. Rest in Peace to the great talent Ofra Haza who sang part of the opening. Such an angelic voice she had.

If this studio had gotten to make the Time Machine, it would have been amazing (it was instead done live action with Guy Pierce)

One of the greatest religious films of all time.

Basically Pharao: what I ever do to you and I'm not freeing the slaves.

Such a good movie, and the score kicks ass

Return the slab....

Saw this and immediately popped the soundtrack on. Banger after banger.

Something that I never caught until recently was that the Plagues were a mockery of the Egyptian gods, and the order in which Yahweh mocks them is deliberate. First, He turns the Nile, the ultimate symbol of life and fertility in Egypt, into blood; a not-so-subtle hint at what's to come. Then, He insults the frog-headed fertility goddess Heket by using her likeness to foul up the land. Lice, gnats, and flies are meant for the earth god Geb as well as Khepri, the scarab-headed god of rebirth. Wiping out the cattle is a huge middle finger to the sacred Apis bull, and the boils make Isis and Sekhmet, goddesses of healing and disease respectively, look impotent. Moving on from the land, God then dunks on Nut (sky) and Set (storms) when He calls down fire and hail from the heavens. Set actually gets it twice because he was also seen as responsible for protecting the crops, so it's extra nasty when the swarm of locusts wipes out whatever the previous Plagues didn't destroy. Ra, the Father, God of the Sun, gets sonned by three days of all-consuming darkness. Yahweh has basically ripped the entire pantheon to shreds, but the coup de grâce he saves for Pharaoh, the man who dared call himself a living god.

I grew up in a very christian household. As I got older, I got smarter and really kept away from it. Nothing against people who are believers but the majority and what I went through really keep me away. That being said, you don't have to be religious to understand how masterful a film like Prince Of Egypt is. Incredible storytelling, fantastic performances, gorgeous animation and the music just gives me goosebumps. I love this movie so much and always will


I loved this movie as a kid and love it even more as an adult. The animation is so beautiful and captivating, the soundtrack is beautiful, and it takes a religious story and treats it with respect without becoming preachy.

The most grossly underrated animated film of all time and handily one of the best biblical films of all-time. Gorgeous animation, amazing music, stellar voice cast, and grandiose by every definition.

Fun fact with it being the first night of Passover. There is 0 archeological proof that the Jews were ever slaves in Egypt. As someone who is Jewish and worked a physically taxing job (chef). I always took pride in the fact that “my people have a long history of hard labor, look at the pyramids, we’re not all doctors and lawyers” Then I did some research, and there is no evidence that a large group of people matching the Children of Jacob ever lived in a land called Goshen. Additionally, the pyramids were built long before a supposed Jewish would have been there. Needless to say I was pretty bummed out. Happy Passover!

My favorite part is when God came down and murdered thousands of newborn babies and innocent children because that's what God does cuz God loves everyone so much. And that everyone celebrates that every year where they get together with family and celebrate the slaughter of innocent babies

Freaking love this movie. Every shot could be hung up on my wall as art, and they really brought their A-game with the music.

such a solid movie, the animation and music are just on another level. can't believe how intense those scenes get, especially the plagues.

Val Kilmer gives an absolutely incredible performance in this. He performs Moses with such earnest.

All the songs in this move absolutely slap

This movie came on tv years ago when I was still a kid. Those frogs creeped me the F out man 😤

Goated movie!!

That animation is truly beautiful

It's a travesty that big budget American 2D theatrical animated movies on this scale got killed off by Shrek and Toy Story leading to the rise of CG animation. Sure, we still got Anime movies and some French animated movies here and there that keep 2D animation alive, but we lost a good chunk of 20+ years starving of mainstream 2D animated movies with this level of animation and story. Netflix Klaus was supposed to open up a new renaissance for Western 2D animated movies but alas it never came.

This movie was just fantastic - so epic! I got goosebumps rewatching this!

I feel like animation has peaked already. 

There aren't many famous films about Jewish holidays, but I'm glad we have this one. Even if Moses doesn't have a stutter.

Didn’t grow up in a Christian home so I didn’t even know it was in the Bible but thought it was a badass movie. Still jam out to this song on repeat one day a year—still gives me goosebumps

I cannot read/watch this story the same way anymore. There’s a lot of talk lately about how destroying the water supply is a war crime. It was Moses’ opening move.

Maybe the greatest animated film ever

Watching this at age 6 was creepy. It felt truly apocalyptic and I had never seen anything like it in an animated movie.

What a d***.

Top fiction for sure

I've had enough of this hebrew nonsense Edit: y’all never seen this movie or something?

I don't get how the frogs were a plague. They seem like a blessing when the cattle are dying. And then the Nile flows red with pure protein.
