“Jesus was the the dude that was multiplying the fish and feeding everyone” had me rolling 😂

“Where are they gonna go?” 😂 Just wait until yall hear about the whole ‘wandering around in the desert for 40 years’ part 😅

"God is like hold up lemme cook" lmao this reaction was kinda funny. I've seen a handful of reactions from other channels but they all knew the story so it was interesting to watch three people who knew so little watch this. I'm glad yall ended up enjoying it!

Me yelling "denial is a river in Egypt!" every time Rob called it the ocean or a canal lol

Yes Moses does the 10 Commandments lol

The Angel of Death is the most shocking thing I've ever seen in any movie. The silence, the swiftness of the children dying,the cries of the parents, it's all unexpected

Zuff finally accepting defeat “No it was Jesus who could walkkkk on water” 😂😂😂😂😂

as someone who was raised Christian this is so entertaining to watch your theories😭

He probably remembered the song because in the Bible, his birth mother became one of his caretakers and the 10 plagues are an insult to some of the Egyptians gods. The plagues are things their gods are supposed to have control over

I had to watch this as a kid growing up in Christian youth groups, and even though I’m not religious anymore I gotta say, the animation HOLDS UP, and so does the music

"gives me Emperor's New Groove vibes" oh boy were you in for a surprise

According to the Bible (and I think the Torah) Moses was in the desert for 40 years before returning to Egypt and Aaron actually did all of Moses' speeches because Moses had a speech impediment. He split the Red Sea and turned the Nile to blood.

Regardless of your beliefs, the music is so beautiful. We finally have a cross over with Batman and Voldemort together singing.

Fun fact: Shrek was being made at the same time as this, but it was notoriously difficult and a pain in the ass because of the computers that wouldn't make stuff move the way people wanted it to move (they had to use hair texture on the grass because it wouldn't behave like grass for example). As such, working on Shrek was seen as a chore, and it was definitely used as punishment. Basically, when animators didn't do their job well enough on Prince of Egypt, they were sent to work on Shrek as punishment, and they called it "being shreked". At the time, they thought Shrek was going to flop, and that Prince of Egypt would be recognized as the masterpiece that it is, but the opposite happened. Good for Shrek, but this movie definitely deserves more recognition than it is getting.

When Miriam was singing the lullaby to Moses, he remembered that tune because he was actually humming it when he was sewing that bag to pour the punch on those two priests👀

I made my ex-gf watch this with me because she'd never seen it before. In the middle of it she asked, '"How did they come up with such an original storyline like this!?" I was like, "Babe, this is literally the story of Moses from the Bible..." LMAO. She didn't grow up religious, so she had no idea. But, it's one of my favorites from childhood. Glad to be watching it again with you guys. Hopefully you take the time to listen to the soundtrack. It's really great!

Hans Zimmer was NOT playing with this music!!!!! It is absolutely AMAZING🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Zuff, “Aaron” is a name from the bible. That’s where it comes from. Lol

The scenes in The Mummy were inspired by the 10 plagues of Egypt from this story, that's why it looked familiar. I think they even mention that in The Mummy.

Just so you know, that scene with the moving hieroglyphs - according to the story in the Book of Exodus, the Pharaoh wanted the midwives to kill all of the Israelite male babies, but many of the midwives refused and they kept them. Also, this is a *Jewish* story in the Jewish Bible. It also happens to be in the Christian Bible because Christianity comes out of Judaism, but the story is read every year during Passover in Judaism and holds a special importance to Judaism. It's called Passover because God *passed over* the houses with blood (the Israelite houses). After they cross the sea, the Israelites walk in the Wilderness for the rest of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Moses delivers the Ten Commandments (twice), they worship a Golden Calf and get punished by God, and then Moses gives this great speech (Deuteronomy) retelling a lot of the story. And then they get to the land that will later become the Kingdom of Israel, ruled by King David and then King Samuel, and this is where a lot of the definitive/real history starts. It will end up dividing into two kingdoms, the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah (Yehudah). Assyria will destroy and conquer the Northern Kingdom, and then the Neo-Babylonians will conquer the Assyrians and destroy Judah and Jerusalem (including the first temple). That covers the first 11 books of the Bible, plus much of 1-2 Chronicles. The Jews from Judah get exiled to Babylon until Cyrus the Great (Persian Achaemenid Empire) conquers Babylon and Judah, and then Cyrus allows the Jews to return to Judah. The Greeks end up conquering the Persian Achaemenid Empire and therefore Babylonia and Judah around the 300s BCE. ~300 more years pass until we get to Jesus, where it is under Roman rule. The Romans conquer the Greeks in the 100s BCE.

“I think that was just like their canal” GUYS THAT’S THE NILE. YOU KNOW- THE BIGGEST RIVER IN THE WORLD???

I'm obsessed with the way Bryce corrected the alien comment. Ppl really think that stuff and it's like "bro slaves existed and they were definitely made to do all this shit" 😂

The side ponytail was a traditional hairstyle for the prince (heir to the throne) to wear in ancient Egypt. It's how you recognized him. Love your reaction guys, this is a great movie!

The Red Sea part took animators 2 years to produce😭 just an amazing film all together

not recognising the Nile the whole time was lowkey killing me haha

"By the poster this reminds me of The Emperor's New Groove" Honey, you've got a big storm coming...

Lol "This is giving religious vibes" at the beginning of the literal story of Exodus. I'm not religious myself, but I do know the story of Moses and it was so fun to watch a reaction to the Prince of Egypt from people who don't know it. I love this movie, the music is phenomenal.

4:34 Rob is such an empathetic guy lol always the first one tearing up😭❤️

This movie brought Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey together. That’s a classic just off that

43:18 That's actually the Angel of Death.

As a believer in God, I’m only 10 minutes in and I’m laughing so hard. “Parts that thing” had me in tears…you guys were wayyy too funny in this one

32:51 I don’t think you guys noticed, but I need you to know that Hotep and Huy are voiced by Steve Martin and Martin Short! Lol I was obsessed with this movie as a kid! I feel like it was a big deal when it came out but I was 5 so I could be wrong 😂. The animation and score are breathtaking. Thanks for yet another great reaction! ❤️

God of the Old Testament: a real "lesson learned now everythings cool" kinda guy 😂

“Moses thats his thing right? He parts the ocean” Rob 😂😂😂😂😂

46:32 "I think it was just their canal or whatever" THE NILE???? ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS RIVERS IN HISTORY??? Why am I getting so offended on behalf of this river omg ahaha I cannot believe three people don't know the Nile.

Zuff isn’t totally out of place to confuse Moses and Jesus. The Gospel writers were very intentional about drawing parallels between the two to drive home Jesus’ authority to a community that would’ve readily recognized Moses’. I always thought it was an interesting choice for Moses’ mom Yoheved to be (presumably) dead when he grows up. Traditionally, Miriam offers to find a Hebrew woman for pharoah’s daughter to nurse Moses. She agrees and Miriam simply reunites Moses with his mom, so he has a continued relationship with her as a baby. In several screen adaptations, she’s still alive when he’s an adult. The Ten Commandments is my favorite live action adaptation if you guys ever want a nice biblical epic. The music (Elmer Bernstein) is incredibly memorable. This was hella fun to watch! Thanks for all you do.

You know, the VA for Moses' birth mother, the one that sings at the beginning, actually gave her voice to other dubs besides English. At total, she gave her voice to 19 dubs, 17 different languages and 2 dialects (Brazilian Portuguese and Latino Spanish). And not just that... but she did perfectly. RIP Ofra Haza.

7:19 "multiplying them and shit" 😂😂💀

What I love about this movie is that it respects all the Abrahamic faiths as well as just being a banger story and a banger musical all at once. It makes it so that legitimately anyone can enjoy it, religious or not.

yooo just wanted to say that i’ve been appreciating the reactions a bit extra lately. been dealing with an almost 3 year relationship coming to an end the last couple months & getting to watch your videos feels like hanging with the boys and having a laugh. really cheers me up when im down & allows me to forget about things for a while. much love to you guys, thank you for the positive vibes!

The Nile River is the lifeblood of Egypt to this day, which is why Moses turning it to blood was such a catastrophe. The Hebrews had to cross the Red Sea, which separates Egypt from Asia, and after that they got to the Sinai Peninsula, where they got the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai and then wandered the desert for 40 years before moving on too the Holy Land. (Israel). BTW, The song, When You Believe, was made famous by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and the voice of Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, the guy from Independence Day and Jurassic Park

So happy and surprised to see a reaction to this movie from you guys! I grew up watching it as a kid all the time. Being Jewish, it was for sure a staple of our entertainment. So glad to see more people seeing it and enjoying it! OK a few other things. Rob, yeah its the Red Sea so you're right! If you look at a map of modern Egypt you would see a body of water separating the Saini Peninsula from northern Egypt. The Hebrews crossed the sea and went back to settle their homeland of Israel. The singer who played Moses' mom is Ofra Haza, a famous Israeli/middle eastern singer who sadly died after the movie came out. ALSO FUN FACT, the two magicians, the skinny and fat one, can you guys guess which two men played them, you're currently watching a show which stars the both of them, and Selena ;)

Oh my I did not realize you guys did not know the story of Moses. Knowing that story would have helped but 5 min in and now I really cannot wait to see this reaction.

32:33 It is very funny hearing someone say 'Oh my god' while looking at a miracle of God.

Kudos to the garment that wraps around him like a towel that which no matter how hard he was drag in the ground & how strong the winds are in the desert,it didn't give up on him😅👏

The fact that none of you guys have seen this let alone heard of it at least is insane to me. My parents are Christian but they weren’t like going to church every Sunday or at all. And they didn’t force The Lord/God down our throats. They let us be ourselves in every aspect and make choices for ourselves. Even when it came to beliefs and believing in something. So I’m definitely not a religious person by any means. But I will admit I love to listen to a lot of the stories from the Bible and the thought/belief of/in God. Tbh I’m just a really open-minded person who likes to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas of what they think will happen after we pass. Anyway what I’m getting it at is that I absolutely love this movie so much I’ve always loved it! And the music and the cinematography it’s just a gorgeous film. The music is so epic and gives me so much strength. Literally just all the emotions lol 💜 It’s beautiful I’ve watched this movie so many times I get emotional every time watching it. These 2 brothers who loved each other so much to being against each other. The pain it hurts my heart every time to watch. It’s so heartbreaking 😔💔

Growing up knowing Bible stories, it's crazy to hear people who don't know the stories. Not everyone does. This is a great film.

this is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. I just love how they told the story of Moses through the lens of two brothers and their relationship so beautifully. that scene after the death of Ramses' son where Moses breaks down in the hall is very telling; he had just lost a nephew and you can tell he was shattered by the fact that he had, in some part, caused his brother's grief. as for Ramses, I love the scene where Ramses realizes that Moses came back not to reconcile with him but to free his people. the hurt on his face that then turned to anger and resentment was so well done by the animators. and yes, Moses parted the Red Sea and in The Bible, all of the waters of Egypt were turned red with blood. Moses also does go up to Mt. Sinai and, after many days, he comes down with the Ten Commandments. thanks for the reaction, guys! 😃

Zuff: “He is HANDSOOOMMEEE 👹”

It is very interesting watching it without any context to the biblical story- but not to be rude to you guys at all, but it introduces the film in the beginning by saying that this is an adaptation of the biblical story of Moses 😅

Rameses' hair in the beginning was the standard haircut called the Sidelock of Youth and was used to indicate the child was the royal heir. The god Horus was portrayed with one and it indicated he was the heir of Osiris so the heirs of Pharoah also wore them.

"Never heard of it" Zuff those are fighting words 🧐😂

Hans Zimmer nailed it with his score.

The song at the end they sing is called ‘When You Believe’. You guys should react to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey singing this song together for this movie. I know you guys don’t do music reactions but maybe on your own time then and then you can tell us if you liked it or not? 😊❤

"This reminds me of the mummy." Well, what do you think where the makers of The Mummy got the idea of the Egyptian Plagues? XD

RIP Ofra Haza! (voice of Moses mother) BEAUTIFUL singer! Beautiful Israeli singer that passed two years after this was made in 2000 :(

I was surprised by "I'm sort of getting like Christian vibes." Like... it throws me that someone can go their whole life in a western country not knowing anything about Moses.

Anyone else notice how wholesome, sweet, caring, respecful, and empathetic these guys ALWAYS are... and with very little bible/religious knowledge? 🤔

Aaron is a biblical name lmao but I get what you mean it does sound modern

Im an athiest but I adooorre this movie. A story that transcends faiths, backgrounds, nationalities. The songs and visuals are gorgeous! We watched it a few times when I was younger in school and we'd sing along, and to this day I watch it every few years. To me its one if the best movies ever created, animated or otherwise.

“It looked a bit crowded” commentary at the end had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Something I love at the end is Rameses calling for Moses, which is a callback to when he was calling out his name when Moses left in the first place. The call is the same, but the intention is so different. The first time, he was calling out to him out of love, and the second, he was doing it out of hate. LOVE the parallel. Also, the first time Moses is running away out of shame and tries to ignore Rameses' call, but the second time, he acknowledges it and says his goodbyes. He's not running away from something anymore, he is simply going forward, and has made peace with his past. It's so good. Also yes those are the ten commandments, the movie ends bascially hours or even minutes before it all goes to sh*t so we can have our happy ending. The whole story from them racing at the beginning until the end seems to take place over the course of a couple years at most, but in the Bible, it happened over DECADES. Moses was an old guy by the time he returned to Egypt, it took a lot of time for the slaves to be allowed to leave, and if I remember correctly, they stayed out in the desert for a few more years/decades before Moses got the ten commandments.

Bryce being the youngest was not on my list? crazy. Learn something new everyday lol

Aside from the breathtaking animation, songs, voice acting, and visual storytelling, I'm always so impressed by how willing Dream Works was to not pull their punches. I watched this as a young kid with my young cousins and it has brutal slavery, a woman kidnapped to be r'ed by our protagonist, our protagonist killing someone (on accident) and then killing a lot of people on god's behalf, mass child death of the hebrews, plagues (including a blood river), and then mass child death of the non-Hebrew Egyptians. God in the bible doesn't mess around and it would be wrong to soften the edges for any portrayal. This movie was haunting as a kid and it certainly stuck around in my brain but I think this is a case study of how children can be trusted with more complicated and meaningful content. Outside of religious stories, there are many historical events that could be delivered to children in a way that's engaging, realistic, and memorable.

“You think gator?” Crocodiles. Alligators in North America and northern South America- generally crocodiles in southern Southern America and Africa.

"Hes giving me John Stamos vibes" LOLOLOL 🤣😂😂😂

31:13- Bryce just cutting straight to the heart of something people struggle with for years! Throughout the bible, god keeps sending people places or asking them to do things, and he never lays out the whole plan for them. When he called Abraham, he didn't even tell him where he was going... just leave and go to a place that I will show you. And here Bryce is just watching an animated movie and he immediately gets it- "God said just, I'll give you my hand... I'd just show up and be like, hey, he'll take over from here"

If you think this is old, you should try "The Land Before Time" or "An American Tail".

I and many others thought the "whale" shadow we saw was in fact a whale, except for the fact that whales have horizontal tales. That creature had a vertical tale, like idk, A SHARK! It was a megalodon! Also, the sea they crossed was the Red Sea. The water he put the plague of blood into was the Nile river. And yes, the ten commandments was given to Moses by God. When he came down from the mountain everyone was worshipping a golden calf and Moses had to correct them and bring them back to God.

You guys should definitely watch "Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron". It's pretty neat and the songs in it are AWESOME.

I thought it was weird how fast they seemed to get across, so I looked it up. The area they crossed was a gulf which connects to the sea.

This is one of my favourite childhood movies. It was always so powerful and emotional for me.

Mosses turns the Nile to blood Mosses parts the red sea The red sea is where some of the fighting with Houthis is happening currently.

“This is like slam poetry” I’m deceased 💀

When Moses goes to find Rameses in the beginning, he's whistling the lullaby that his mom sang, meaning he did somehow remember the song. But most importantly, the fact he whistles it in this ordinary, everday setting shows that it's part of his life, and he's probably whistled it so many times before. And you can imagine he asked people around him where it came from, who originally sang it, and no one can tell him. He must have spent his entire life just wondering where the heck this melody came from. So when a girl he doesn't know, a SLAVE at that, claims he is her brother and SINGS the song literally no one else in his life could tell him about, he has no choice but to at least question his reality. I love that moment because you see his expression change as he goes through confusion about why she's randomly singing, then surprise as he recognizes the song, then an even bigger confusion as to how she knows it, then the doubt, and finally the sudden realization that she might be telling the truth, and the fear of what that would imply. Great sequence! I'm kind of confused how he never questioned anything, as his name literally means "saved from the water".

As someone from Latin America I had a very Christian based childhood and this movie was literally a CLASSIC in the churches, as a Kid i was obsessed with this story! It was so funny to see you guys reacting knowing nothing about it

I don't have a religious bone in my body, but this movie and its music will always be an absolute banger.

Yes I’m so glad y’all reacted to this it was my favorite movie growing up!! Such an incredible movie 😁

This movie is one of the ones that stuck With me through childhood. It’s a masterpiece. Those songs still give me goosebumbps

This movie is a MASTERPIECE

im kinda shook by them not knowing the story of moses?? lmao even if ur a non-christian its one of those stories everyone knows about 😂

And of course once the sister saw where his basket ended up and saw that the mother was going to accept that’s when she thought and sang ‘comeback and deliver us too’ but originally they were just praying for him to end up far away from their so he wouldn’t die

Oooooh! Just started the video and I’m SO hyped for this 🥹🤗

Oh yeah! And Steve Martin and Martin Short are the high priests! lol

Oh I am excited to see your reaction. The MUSIC IS SPECTACULAR!

53:01 "need to shape up here" 😂😂 I loved this movie as a kid and it was amazing watching it again with y'all! The themes were very very intense, but I'm so glad Dreamworks didn't edit the harder parts out.

"it was just like their canal or whatever" You mean the Nile river? lmao!

You guys should really check out Spirit. Amazing story telling through animation!!

Funny to hear him call Ramses Voldemort, because he was actually voiced by the same actor, Rey Fines (sorry if spelling is wrong)

An animated retelling of The Ten Commandments.

Zuff looks like he should be in a 1900s film with his hair and stache in this video 👨❤

Your guys reactions are so wholesome

Wow, I've never seen people go into watching this without even knowing that it's based on the Bible! I'm still in the intro section so I'm really intrigued to see how you go with that - or if you even realise!

You guys are high key working through my childhood in tv/film

I'm an atheist. Anti-theist really, I tend to think religion is silly at best and downright evil at its worst. But I LOVE this movie. I even named my cat Ramesis after the Pharoah (don't get it twisted--I didn't see him as a good dude or anything, I just thought the name was so powerful and elegant and fit for my cat). I really like that they approached the story with honesty. The brutality of the slavery, Moses' original indifference to the plight of the Hebrews, the warmth and love between Ramesis and Moses as brothers, the fear of failing his father on Ramesis' part, Moses' reluctance to be the messenger, the brutality of God's punishment...Idk a lot of animated films that show children dying--I just thought it was really fleshed out and addressed the complexity of the stakes and emotions. Despite obviously not putting a lot of stock in the historical accuracy of the story, I still really enjoy the narrative. There's a French musical (theatre) adaptation of the story called "Les Dix Commandments" (the 10 Commandments) and there's this song "Mon Frere" (my brother) in it that is essentially like the one Moses and Ramesis sing together during the plagues here. It's so beautiful. It's a powerful story with powerful imagery and I think, for an animated film, it really does a great job of capturing that same emotional feeling. Anyway, yeah, great film. It really holds up. This and El Dorado are two of my favorite animated films of all time. OH! And the cast! Ralph Finnes is like the least famous person in the cast. haha. Seti (the father) was Patrick Stewart (Professor X from X-Men), Miriam was Sandra Bullock, Tzipporah was Michelle Pfiefer, Aaron was Jeff Goldblum, Tzipporah's father was Danny Glover...and they gave such great performance. I hope you liked the film!

loved your reaction not knowing the story at all!! especially because somehow zuff’s instincts were on point when it’s normally the other way around😂

love this you guys rock

Never clicked so quick on a video. I love the comment, “I’ll show up and he’ll take over.” That’s how it works, he wants us to show up and he’ll work through us. I encourage you to read the the Exodus story from the Bible to learn more about this story and how much God loved and forgave the Israelites.

“I’m getting Catholic/Christian vibes.” I mean…. You aren’t technically wrong.
