The Most Successful Animated Failure Ever Made 

nerdstaglic NEVER CARE about anything animation related or JEWISH STUFFS (he pro palestine)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you never care about 1 thing animation and still head call animation "kids stuff" like a child predator!

​@@eddiejoewalt7746get a life will you. I don't want to burst your bubble but the guy that made the video is jewish you dope 😂 And if you want to go support it's real and the bombing of kids in gaza, go do it don't bring it to a channel like this. Stop Defending Benjamin Netanyahu's need to bomb the palestinians into submission. He's only doing it because it was on his watch that those 1400 civilians were killed. And it was his fault completely. Because Israel was in a dilemma trying to get him out of office and protect the courts and the Justice system in Israel against Benjamin. The majority of Israelis and the majority of palestinians both want peace. And the only reason you don't get it is because Benjamin Netanyahu and his corrupt right-wing government. Benjamin was so busy protecting himself he wasn't protecting his country. Sounds familiar ? Like Donald Trump trying to deny the virus existed as he caught it and spread it around ? Don't bring your nonsense to this guy's channel. This has nothing to do with what's happening in gaza or Israel or in the Middle East at all. He is simply talking about a cartoon made by dream works. If you want to take it in some of the directions do it on your own time. And all you people out there protesting the gaza should Go protest the palestinians into electing a government that isn't a terrorist group and go Protest Israeli civilians To remove Benjamin Netanyahu out of office because he is the only obstacle to a 2 state solution, and he always has been.

​@@eddiejoewalt7746you sound stupid and foolish to say that about someone you don't even know. Making a video about this cartoon has nothing to do with what's happening in Israel in Palestine

I have started just setting any content creator who does a VPN promotion without stating the most important factor, whether the VPN is run in Ram or not to "DO not recommend" Do the same with Raid Shadow Legends and a few other things. If a business model can't exist without shitty business practices.... it probably doesn't need to exist.

You can make a half a billion dollars and your movie isn't talked about as much as it came yet The Prince of Egypt shows that dispite having a average box office it's impact was greater and is DreamWorks most dramatic piece ever made.

i rewatched it this morning on a flight, i was shocked seeing this video on my feed ahaha

It is an incredible film with beautiful animation.

Me too I have it on bluray and it's a good movie

Incredible film about Christianity. This shows studios can do well and dandy without the box office.😏

Definitely. Everything was just a match made in Heaven where

it was good yes, but shrek 2 is dreamworks’ best movie

Exactly eat your heart out Shrek and how to train your dragon

@@9tailjeza what about the first spirit film because it sequels were shallow invitations

@@kernowpictures3882 Spirit is wildly underrated

Exactly the point I make when talking about this movie!! :)

exactly.

But on the religious side, it helps to understand the meaning of Passover. Also shows how the Pharaohs ruled Egypt too

This and The Road to El Dorado are the type of films I would love to see DreamWorks return to and the closest we have gotten from them is probably their shows like Voltron: Legendary Defender, She-Ra, Carmen San Diego, and Cleopatra In Space with a majority of those containing Avatar and Korra staff who left Nickelodeon after Legend of Korra was cancelled.

​@@zeeski7454meh, it only vaguely gets across how the kings of Egypt ruled, or the actual situation of Ramses II, or Seti I. That being said, it's one of my top 5 films.

Alexander did reach India, he just didn’t manage to get all of it

Alexander shouldve conquered Hawaii

@@miliba he would have been too busy chasing hunks on the beach to make a serious play for the mountains

Well no, Alexander set out to conquer Persia, and conquer it he did. It’s more like saying Columbus failed to sail to Asia. He failed to achieve his mission goal but still found great fortune.

@@waylander9265 Good analogy

A l w a y s They were not wrong tho. Masterful movie and great way to make this hugely important Bible story remembered by kids.

I'm not a religious person, but I love this animation.

So your church used this instead of teaching the Bible? I hate to tell you, but they played it for you because you were a kid. And I'm not sure what this movie has to do with church

@matthew-jy5jp bro it's not that deep they played it in children church and we was taught the Bible all the time

​@matthew-jy5jp yeah, not that deep. It's no different than a school playing a film on a sub day. Yes it happens in Sunday school as well. I'm not even a Christian and I know this.

I’m a Christian and I was born in 99. I loved this movie when I was a kid

Went to Catholic school and this played in Religion class. Best movie day of that class!

It's so funny you say that! I wouldn't consider myself Christian anymore but whenever I watch this movie boy does it ever come back full force. When Moses is talking to the burning bush just makes me cry 😭

Or Muslim 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I lost my faith in Christianity years ago, but we even watched the movie in school.

As like with today - Paid disney shill.

Critics at the time weren't ready to see something like that in animation.

Yeah I had the exact same thought when I heard that criticism. That juxtaposition was perfect for setting up the movie and the conflict.

“I did not see because I did not wish to see”. Absolutely necessary to have that contrast at the beginning, those critics don’t know what they’re talking about.

@@midnightlumina7 Disney's strangehold on the critic scene makes them basically another wing of the Disney marketing department. Disney gives critics the royal treatment, critics give Disney good reviews, Disney uses the reviews to market their stories. Any critic that's too critical gets blacklisted by Disney.

I concur.

If you watch the video, you'll see his explanation. He says it succeeds in many areas.

Watch the video...

@@craigwolfe249 Clickbait title. These kinds of comments are inevitable.

he's not saying the movie itself was a failure, the concept was a failure. if you compare any dreamworks movie to the prince of egypt, no other compares to its ground of seriousness. when shrek was made, it was the game changer for dreamworks. they didn't have to make serious animated movies to be successful.

U clearly didn't watch the video.

I doubt Katzenberg really actually expected that it would change decades of expectations of animated films right away. Although it is unfortunate that traditional animation did just die/go away pretty soon after.

How much cheaper would this film be with modern technology?

In fact it was a greater success story than they originally thought at release.

@@chrisbrasel8060 I remember Hans Zimmer was nervous and stressed out as hell trying to score it due to the cultural/religious loaded concept.....he was so scared of cultural backlash

@@TheBfutgreg He was worried he might offend some people if he didn't do a good job making the music and respecting their culture and believes. He made a fantastic score and one of his best right up there with his Dark Knight, Dune and Loin king music.

Did you not see the video?

Except for historical accuracy

So any other animated film is non Disney now? Lol

@@Dravianpn02 considering it was the end of the Disney Renaissance, there wasn’t quite as much competition yet. I just used non-Disney in a vague term

What did it start?

Amen! Her voice is beautiful RIP Ofra Haza

SAME. I still cry at the lyrics.

didnt they do joseph the king of dreams after?

They tried with Joseph: King of Dreams but it just wasn't as good.

@@monkeygirlburns9196 Probably because they didnt give them the cinematic budget this one definitely had

Shrek 2

I'm not sure you understand what failure means. Seems like it was successful in an unexpected manner. I guess that title wouldn't bring the same views tho.

Watch the Secret of NIMH.

Not a fan of Mononoke. If she was cut out of the film it would be much better. Story should have focused on Lady Eboshi, tbh.

why you gotta name all the other bangers too man..?

@@mish375 Not much of a fan of her too a few years ago, but cutting her out would have been disastrous to not only the movie but also to the message portrayed by the movie; of nature and man, and the nature of man.

@@manapoints9329 I felt Mononoke did nothing but preach sanctimoniously, and everyone jsut stands back and listens. But she's a hypocrite that never clues into the fact that she should take her own advice. Honestly, if she was cut out of the film and someone else brough Ash*taka to the Lake, I think it would have better. If they went into Lady Eboshi's story and how she became corrupted by power, I think that would have been more interesting.

THE MAN OF GAUZE! THE MAN OF GAUZE!

Lol a staple of my childhood

🤣👍❤

Return the slab or suffer my curse

THE MAN IN GAUZE, THE MAN IN GAUZE!

Bunch of brainwashed fools

Even though the Torah and the Bible unfairly demonised Egypt at the time considering every civilisation on Earth practised slavery which was unfortunate result of the viewpoints of antiquity and “conscripting a cheap labour force“

In truth it was historically inaccurate considering the labourers that were contracted to construct these temples and pyramids and all the other construction projects we are highly skilled paid labourers because you needed the equivalent of modern day structural engineers to plan these ambitious buildings together considering you needed a decent grasp of geometry and physics

The contractors I am your average Joe labourer were even buried next to the finished building if they died (on accident due to a workplace hazard) during construction

That is a strange argument I have never heard before. They never said that Egypt was the only one that performed slavery. But slavery was usually done to other nations, so being enslaved had to happen somewhere. In fact, I visited an Egyptian coptic church, and they were very proud of being Egyptian, even claiming that Egypt was blessed by the Bible (they were almost too proud haha). They claimed this based on some Bible verses and how Jesus spent some of his childhood in Egypt to escape genocide.

That's right.

Im right there with you brother

Honestly, pick any one of the songs. They're all solid.

Oddly enough, I think the song that won the oscar was the weakest song (after 'Playing with the Big Boys').

I can't get the chorus from The Plagues out of my head lol, I love it so much

@@LEGO_IndianaJones69420_ Oh yeah, that's a good one as well.

It's actually a shark. You can tell by the way it's tail moves. It also has the upside tail fin, like sharks do. Whales and dolphins have their tails the other way.

Oh wow, you’re right. Though it looks like it might be a whale shark, so they’re still 50% right? Haha.

@@orangebeagle3068 well, whale sharks are fish, but I get that you're making a joke on the name.

Baby that's a shark

Mine too!

And whilst not always being reciprocated by the entire franchise, KFP2 is also highly mature in it's themes and story despite the rather goofy headline

Yep, and that movie is an underrated gem, IMO.

The topic of the video wasn't about Anime though. Not sure how that would be completely relevant. Feels like the video would've been a lot longer and not about "The Prince of Egypt" at that point.

In 1:18 they say majority of Western audience so they say about Western Europe and USA

Anime wasn't big around here, and wasn't really even that popular with kids back then. Whereas now it seems more or less commonly liked by Millennials and younger.

I was in complete agreement until you disrespected VeggieTales. That show was the goat.

Their first movie is much better

If only DreamWorks stayed with 2D hand-drawn animation. Maybe even more stop-motion animation. I for one am growing sick n tired of nothing but 3D and live action remakes.

I also love The Road to El Dorado but can see why it wasn't embraced, it was mostly to appeal to tween/teen boys, which I was then but most (as well as adults) dismissed traditional animation in general until Shrek was more overt.

I like sci fi generally but Atlantis and Treasure Planet were too weird even for me.

@@suarezguyit’s no more weird than any other sci fi

Or forgotten entirely

On speaking of history they did follow the inaccurate propaganda of the church who unfairly demonised Egyptians

@@kernowpictures3882 They followed the perspective of the Israelites who wrote the Torah (later included in the Bible) and highlighted the injustices they suffered. It's just this time the story is told by the people at the bottom not the people at the top so the perspective is focused on how harshly you have to treat a population who outnumbers you when you want to keep them so afraid of the alternative that they will just obey. This is the only way to keep a population of free labour to make your society wealthy. Ancient societies relied almost entirely on manpower to improve their economy so the larger the workforce and the less you had to pay them the more wealth you have in your economy. If you're not motivating your workers with the promise of reward (pay) you must be motivating them with fear of punishment which has to be worse than the alternative.

I think you're right.

LOL, most film fans love at least 1 or 2 movies that he made.

Yeah well, it was a 100% jewish production, so.

​@@trikyy7238 Not exactly. There were multiple consultants who weren't Jewish who sorted out the theology in the film. Unless you mean the studios who were supporting it?

Yeah I don't think Katzenberg really expected that it would suddenly change 40-50 year old perceptions and expectations of animation, it didn't majorly stand out as Shrek or Finding Nemo later did but it was at least considered good solid start for new rival animation studio.

I realized recently why animation with a movie length budget looks SO impressive, they're able to refine stuff and get such good quality that it almost looks like a painting come to life, it's a really cool effect

😂

Antz was fucking AWESOME

It's clickbait.

It’s a clickbait title

7 seconds into the video and you already act like you heard all the arguments?

@@mathy4605 at what point did I act like I’d heard all the arguments? All I said was my personal hopes and opinions
