Wow, this is one tragic musical.
Is this going to be an atheists seethe at a children’s cartoon thread
>>156233009No, I loved the movie—so raw, so tragic—of how one person’s pride brought down an entire empire. And seeing a young god, as benevolent as he was wrathful, set the slaves free.a masterpiece.
>>156232983https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG0a9WFkgzUThe wife was hot, that's all I really remember.
>>156233038I rather the Paraoh's, so elegant.https://youtu.be/sVZayY3cz8o?feature=shared
>>156233038Cute
Egypt have sush a cool aesthetic.
>>156233009Do they?
>>156234446No, it's pretty much universally agreed that Prince of Egypt is a great movie regardless of your opinion on the old testament. My only gripe is that the two priests (Hotep and Huy, based on Jannes and Jambres) were just doing parlor tricks when in the literal bible they were actually sorcerers capable of magic.
>>156233009Not me, I can appreciate a good story well-told despite not subscribing to the religion it's based on.
Jewish propaganda fairytale.The Egpytians never had slaves. And they certainly never had slaves built the pyramids. Moses did not exist. And their was no plague. All bullshit.
>>156235314Stfu, soifag
>>156232983Great soundtrack, lovely animation, I think the cast was pretty much perfect. I never really took a look at who was responsible for the style and art direction but I suppose I should.That one song about delivering us to the promised land doesn't quite hit the same in recent years lolOh right one other thing. I remembered a tidbit behind the scenes. Originally the movie would jump straight from the death of Ramses first born son into the hebrews wildly celebrating as they are leaving. Someone, I want to say Val Kilmer himself, had to go up and mention jarring and unsettling it was to see them basically celebrating the death of these children that just died. So they added in that more somber bit that leads up to the celebrating.
>>156235299Kino
For me it's the Joseph prequel
>>156235314Cry harder
>>156235613>prequelIt was a prequel?I thought it was a different universe in lower quality?
>>156232983You know, it's really weird how this movie and that Bible story take place in Egypt and feature a guy named Moses who encounters a burning bush and parts the Red Sea.
>>156233009Prince of Egypt is the one movie every internet atheist points at to avoid getting called a fedora-tipper the same way self-conscious racists pull the "one black friend" card.
>The Lion King (head of story)>The Prince of Egypt (co-director)>Brave (co-director)Brenda Chapman
>>156232983Jewish propaganda, the movie.Fuck Moses, Ramses did nothing wrong.
>>156235781Well yeah it's the one good movie out of 10000 bad ones.
>Can search her name because it spelled differently
>>156235314
>>156235918Stfu, troon
>>156235743i mean, Yes, ancient Egypt practiced slavery, though it looked different from the chattel slavery seen in later civilizations like the trans-Atlantic slave trade.Another aspect of this film that I find interesting is the concept of God—specifically, the idea that He seemingly emerged or came into existence out of the desperation of an enslaved people.He chooses the most destitute group—those who need Him the most—to place their faith in Him, which, in turn, grants Him strength. He liberates them from slavery and brings Egypt to its knees through the ten plagues; acts that served as direct assaults on the Egyptian gods, who had never before encountered a deity of this nature.(This, of course, assumes one is familiar with the religious significance underlying each of the plagues.)Although the film concludes on a more optimistic note than the original account, the people must still endure a forty-year journey toward the Promised Land. During this period, God subjects them to a form of "natural selection" to test their faith—going so far as to unleash plagues upon His own chosen people.When examined closely, the concept of a deity that requires faith to gain strength—and that demands this faith be maintained at any cost, even through the annihilation of non-believers, "heretics," or rival gods (whether earthly or celestial)—is fascinatingly cruel.Regardless of which specific god one might be referring to, the best way to visualize this is through the "13th faction" in Versus: Mad God.
>>156235661The quality is sort of reminiscent of those Disney direct-to-DVD sequels.
>>156233009This is like the one movie where even the biggest fedora tippers are like "Yeah it's pretty good."
>>156235314Oh shit, next you'll tell me that there weren't really a french prince who was turned into a beast, with all his servants turned into furniture.
>>156233936If their gods had defended themselves instead of being as arrogant as the pharaoh
>>156233081is "Pharaoh" with 2 H
>>156235299Why doesn't God do this kinda shit anymore?>>156235314Egyptians didn't even build the pyramids, they inherited the land from an earlier culture predating the Old Kingdom. The Sphinx is 10,000+ years old and was recarved long after the original head had detreated.
>>156236533>Egyptians didn't even build the pyramids, they inherited the land from an earlier culture predating the Old Kingdom. The Sphinx is 10,000+ years old and was recarved long after the original head had detreated.
>>156235613Should've made a sequel where after the period of wandering the desert, Moses dies and the Israelites enter the land of Milk and Honey.Then as soon as they arrive they massacre a dozen cities full of people, down to the livestock, just as their god demanded of them.>tfw no Fall of Jericho kino
>>156236570>he doesn't know
>>156236623Retard
>>156235534goes to show those who believe in the bible are heartless monsters
>>156235314/thread

>>156232983not even funny how much better this is than Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings>let's make the burning bush some ghost kid
>>156236533>Egyptians didn't even build the pyramids,Wrong, Khufu built the Great Pyramid of Giza. Everyone who signed on to work were not only payed amazingly well, but had access to the best food, alcohol, and medicine in the country. An entire town was built around the construction of the project to house the workers that became its own economy. Khufu also commissioned the sphinx, but it was Khafre who finished it.
>>156236776not your mirror ignorant.
When this animated movie premiered, I was a very progressive kid. I had no problem with jews, gays, blacks, transexuals already existed then, but were treated like a serious problem, rather than fetish. I did not like conservatism, like, nearly 30 years later, and I hate the jews with passion and I hope that they fucking die. I have no respect for faggots, and I consider trannies a serious illness that should be banned. But most of all, I fucking hate liberals and lefties.Funny how people change over time
>River, oh river, flow gently for me. Such precious cargo you bear>The river sends hippos and crocodiles and massive waves and a fucking ship with oars slapping the basket
>>156237232Over time, you learn that there can be no gray area to stand up.how tragic but that's how it is.
>>156237276Well, they had to make it more dramatic.
>>156233009Rent free
>>156235308sad
>>156233009You will have to wait for a bit for that thread. It’s going to come out in the most unexpected places.
>>156237276Those are the natural threats of the Nile. The fact that the basket makes it through that unscathed is showing that it's being protected.
Bump
I like Through Heavens Eyes. Beautiful song
>>156240205I like Deliver us, such a choir of pain.
I love these threads, you have schizo threads like Death Battle, Garbage Tumblr Thread like the TADC or Tranny lolcow like Bunlith.And then you have these threads that remind us these animated Masterpieces modern newfags can't appreciate
>>156232983>Only adaptation of the story to be all brown people>Best adaptationMakes you think.
>>156240575
>>156240294That one’s great. On the flip side I think the weakest song is When You Believe, which sucks cause it’s the last song if you don’t count the brief reprisal of Deliver Us. It just doesn’t have the same “oomf” as the other songs
>>156240493
>>156235949cool
>>156235314It was pretty funny when the Jews are singing and the lyrics are just "lielie lie lie lielielie".
>>156232983Do christians actually believe that egyptian royalty adopted a jew and made him a prince?
>>156241368Shut it
>>156241368I’m a deist, and honestly, I don’t know—well, I find it hard to believe that a mother wouldn’t feel compassion for a baby that suddenly appeared, floating in a basket right in front of her.
>>156240493Sinbad is mediocre
>>156241410But at least it’s more satisfying to watch than what indie animation produces—that’s mediocrity.
>directed by someone who came from the industry of licensed videogames>only 1 credited writer, and his previous credits are Any Given Sunday, Gladiator, The Time Machine, and Star Trek NemesisI don't like Sinbad
>>156240673For Mel, that was a humiliation ritual.>NolanYou didn't understand huh.
>>156240979holy kek
>>156240676Says you.
>>156240493Sinbad was meh, the rest was kino, and by god the world they d«created for Treasure Planet was amazing, a shame it was never used for anything ever again.
>>156241410It's a visual feast.
>>156241562yeah and it all tastes like nothing. it's so fucking boring
>>156241552The sequel they cancelled; we will never forgive them for it.And the Current disney isn't a place to make a worthy sequel in case they consider to bring it back.
>>156241562Not consistently. There is stuff that looks bad
>>156241550True haha. I’ll give it a listen and potentially reevaluate
>>156241578It's pacing wasn't the best, but boring it was not.>>156241610The highs are very high.
>>156241580funny is that the old book that treasure planet was based on spawned a whole franchise at a time when we had slop novels instead of slop movies. so even if the sequel was awful it still would have been fitting~
>>156241792Sad
>>156241368did you even watch the movie
>>156241368He wasn't a prince in the bible.He's adopted by the daughter of the pharaoh that orders the slaughter of the first born sons, so he would be nephew to the pharaoh that rules when he returns from exile.I think his role would have been more like a high ranking courtier. Think something like a lord in medieval Europe.
>>156232983Did dreamworks ever say why they started with a highly religious musical only to go to make shrek afterwards? Not to say either is bad, but it's apples to oranges.
>>156241950The best theory I can offer is that they were experimenting.
>>156241950Ironically for the same reason. Disney wouldn't make something like either one.An animated, but tonally serious religious epic had been Katzenberg's dream project when he was at Disney, but they didn't want to touch that subject when he was still there.Shrek was made to be deliberately anti-Disney.
>>156241950they were in production at the same time, it was just different revenue streams. but in-house they thought shrek would be a flop, and anyone who fucked up on prince of egypt was banished to go work on shrek. they literally called it "getting shrek'd"
>>156236283I dunno. The idea of 'Gods sustained by worship' has become so common and cliche that I genuinely think it's cooler for Gods to just exist regardless. Forgotten Gods seeking worship or influence has a neat ring to it now that subversion of the opposite is so popular.
>premieres the same friday as POE>ends up in 1st place that weekend (18 million), while POE ends up in 2nd place (14 million)
>>156242751...Okay?
>>156242816POE was a hyped movie. It's worth mentioning. Katzenberg was expecting a better opening weekend
>>156242643Basically Lovecraft.
>>156241489huh
>>156235314True, and this would not be a problem if it was simply a fairytale. But they use it as propaganda.Also I wish Dreamworks and movies in general had a grand, epic scale to them.
>>156242643I like Gods with spheres of influences. And they want to spread that sphere regardless of what happens which would compete with other Gods. Cool points if you dont even see the gods, but only the effects they have on the world.
>>156244273Kinda like in Warhammer Fantasy?Empire has the Emperor as a GodBretonnia has The Lady of the LakeKislev has Ursun, The Great polar bearAnd Grand Cathay has the Eastern Dragons... and not to mention the chaos gods.
>>156244362>WarhammerYeah, though I am only aware of a few cursory things. I could not be considered a fan as my knowledge is shallow. I also know Elden Ring has some of that. Just cool things
>>156244602It’s the best example I have; another would be the gods from Fear & Hunger.
>>156234722Cute
>>156235308
>>156232983>Tells Moses to ask for his people to be free>Hardens Ramses heartWhat did God mean by this?
>>156245257Sometime you just gotta do things the hard way.
>>156245257Pride is a Sin, and this is an example of it.
>>156245257>oh shit lmao Michael come over here he actually did it he actually asked to be free lmao
>>156236623Are you mentally challenged or just ignorant?
>>156232983>When the Jews were never in Egypt but in Babylon. >When the Jews escaped from Babylon and entered the desert >When Babylon established New Babylon and claimed it was Jewish. >When New Babylon rewrote history to make Old Babylon the actual home of the Jews and the good guys all along. >When you literally live in a world of lies forged by the Amaleks of yore and their gods are still in play.
>>156246292Ugh
>>156237276>Intense Gasp
>>156233009No
