1998 film produced by DreamWorks Animation
POPULARITY
To celebrate the summer, Chris and Alex take another trawl through the Fantasy/Animation archive to pick out some of their favourite past instalments of the podcast. For this first archive episode for 2026, they turn to their discussion of The Prince of Egypt (Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner & Simon Wells, 1998) that took place way back in March 2021 that featured the insights of biblical scholar and broadcaster Francesca Stavrakopoulou, who is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion at the University of Exeter. Listen again at their analysis of this 1998 cel-animated and CG epic that took in conversations about musicality, animated adaptations, star voices, spectacle, and myth-making, as well as the film's contribution to the industrial standing of DreamWorks as a successful Hollywood studio, the politics of white-washing and colour-coding, and the stylistic mobilisation of Christian iconography. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts** **As featured on MillionPodcast's Best 10 UK Animation Podcasts and Best 60 Movie Podcasts in the UK**
Things are getting Biblical on Vintage Cinema Rewind. And this week, they're back with their Deep Dive on DreamWorks Entertainment's dustiest vehicle, The Prince of Egypt. After years of dwelling in obscurity among his wife's tribe as a simple shepherd, Blake stumbles across a burning bush. He's then given a tall order: to return home and free his people. But this is hardly a victorious homecoming. For in his absence, Michael has become an iron-fisted pharaoh and proclaims that he will not let his people go. What follows is a battle of wills between two brothers chafing against the weight of their own legacies. Can they see eye-to-eye? Or will they instead demand an eye-for-an-eye?
Get ready to wander into the sands of Egypt with Vintage Cinema Rewind. During this 2026 animation season, they've decided to tackle DreamWorks Entertainment's maiden voyage: The Prince of Egypt! Blake and Michael are our titular royals, who spend most of their days running amok and challenging each other to obelisk-measuring contests. However, when Blake discovers his true heritage, he flees into the desert, promising never to return. But perhaps fate has other plans for these two brothers? Because every lost lamb is eventually found…
In episode ten, Caveman and Maggi go in search of the promise land with The Prince of Egypt. An incredible film, great music, and a true miracle: bringing Mariah and Whitney together.

“Let my people go.” Join Ian, Liam & Megs for our 328th episode as we part the Red Sea, confront destiny, and revisit one of the most ambitious animated films ever made with The Prince of Egypt (1998). Kev? He's not with us this week — he attempted to follow a mysterious burning bush into the desert and hasn't returned. We assume he's negotiating some very specific commandments. This week we discuss: The scale of the storytelling — biblical epic through animation. How does the film balance intimacy with spectacle? Val Kilmer's dual performance — Moses and God. Subtle, conflicted, and quietly powerful. Ralph Fiennes' Ramses — tragic, proud, and deeply human. One of animation's most underrated antagonists? The music — from Deliver Us to When You Believe. Does the soundtrack elevate the film into something transcendent? Megs explores the film's emotional core — brotherhood, identity, and the cost of doing what is right. Ian breaks down the animation — traditional techniques blended with early CGI. How well does it hold up? Liam questions the narrative focus — is this Moses' story, Ramses' story, or something shared between them? The depiction of faith — reverent, interpretive, and accessible. Does the film succeed regardless of belief? The plagues sequence — visually stunning, morally complex, and still haunting. The “show vs tell” balance — how much does the film trust its visuals versus its dialogue and songs? Ian goes all Old Testament, telling us that 'the book was better' and how they left the ultimate sideplot sitting on the table The ending — epic, earned, and emotionally resonant. Does it land as both spectacle and personal journey? And finally, whether The Prince of Egypt is the Best Film Ever — or one of the greatest animated films ever made.

Are you a critic or do you call out the beauty from others? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our MOSES series with a message about the birth of Moses.Exodus 2:2The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She saw that he was beautiful and kept him hidden for three months.In the middle of great suffering and fear, a child of promise was born. God's work doesn't happen in a sterile environment, removed from the ugly uncertainties of the real world. How did the love of Moses' mother open the door for God's saving work?1) Love sees and speaks to the beauty in others.At a time when criticism and cynicism has been elevated to virtue, we should develop the skill of speaking to and nurturing what is good in others.Colossians 3:13Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.It's not hard to point out where people are wrong. It is hard to patiently, wisely and lovingly make room for others to grow.2) Love risks when others won't.Moses' mother couldn't control her situation. But she was thoughtful and strategic, and in the end she trusted God with what she valued the most.3) When you love, God picks up the tab.Because she risked enough to love Moses, God made sure her needs were met. 2 Corinthians 9:8And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.Moses was born from a people who were enslaved, and he was elevated to become Prince of Egypt. Jesus was the Prince of Heaven, and he laid aside his title to become a servant so that we could become sons and daughters of our King!

Jesus Christ, it's Moses.We're getting biblical, folks! Strap in for a look into Joe's pick from his childhood, "The Prince of Egypt" from 1998. We step through what makes this movie so special to Joe and integral to his upbringing, how and why it won an Oscar, and ponder at what an alternative universe would look like if this movie out-performed "Shrek" (both concurrent projects from Dreamworks Studios).Next episode is IT, y'all. After 3 years, almost to the exact date, Uncultured Universe is closing up shop and moving onto other hobbies and pursuits. It's been a great ride, but all good things must come to an end. So with that, we'll be doing a rarified, never-before-seen-or-heard-of DOUBLE FEATURE episode where we'll look at two movies at the same time: Justin's pick "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" from 1985, and Joe's pick "A League of Their Own" from 1992.

In Episode 74, we dive into how this movie transcends religion. Whether you grew up with the story of Moses or not, the artistry, emotion, and universal themes will leave you in awe. The voice cast? Absolutely stacked. The animation? On another level for only the second DreamWorks Animation film. But the real showstopper… the music. WOW.

In 1998 newly formed Dreamworks Animation released it's second film ever The Prince of Egypt. The film was lauded at the time but has since garnered a reputation for being one of the most underrated animated films ever. Today we're giving it its shine and talking about why this movie needs to be talked about more
Finishing Passover and Easter this month, I reminisced the first movie I heard of Val Kilmer as he passed away 4/1. Dreamworks released animated religious film The Prince of Egypt in 1998, based on the Bible's Book of Exodus - 40 Chapters, and 1956 movie The Ten Commandments. Along with an all-star cast, Val Kilmer starred as Moses and the voice of God. I summarize the epic movie and soundtrack in this episode.

Send us a textStepping back into ancient Egypt, we explore DreamWorks Animation's biblical epic "The Prince of Egypt" (1998) – a film that masterfully blends breathtaking animation with powerful storytelling to bring the Exodus narrative to life.This cinematic journey through Moses' story features a truly remarkable voice cast that surprised even our hosts. Val Kilmer pulls double duty as both Moses and God (creating a fascinating dynamic during the burning bush scene), while stars like Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Stewart, Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren, and the comedy duo of Steve Martin and Martin Short bring depth and personality to this ancient tale. The revelation of who voiced which character had our hosts pausing the movie in amazement!What truly sets this film apart is its visual artistry. Twenty-five years later, the animation still captivates with its blend of traditional 2D techniques and subtle 3D elements. From the haunting sequence of baby Moses floating down the Nile to the spectacular parting of the Red Sea, the film's artistic vision creates moments of genuine awe. We discuss how specific scenes – like the transformation of water to blood that spares Moses himself – demonstrate the filmmakers' exceptional attention to detail and creative interpretation of biblical miracles.While the film takes creative liberties with its source material (Moses was supposedly 80 years old during the Exodus!), we explore how these changes serve the narrative while maintaining the spiritual essence of the story. We even delve into fascinating historical theories about which actual Egyptian pharaoh might have ruled during these events – was it really Ramesses II as depicted, or perhaps the mysterious Dudimose whose reign coincided with Egypt's decline?Have you revisited this animated masterpiece recently? We'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave us a five-star review or join the conversation about biblical adaptations, animation techniques, or which scene still gives you chills decades later.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbATwitch (Anthony):https://www.twitch.tv/odysseywowSupport the show

(PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Shirleon, "I hated it. I hated the direction that it went."Melvin, "It's super rare to find movies that feel like they're devoid of content."What deflates the material is how remedial it is compared to the rich complexities of the Biblical text.A follow-up to criticism's mentioned in the Journey to Bethlehem episode regarding bible-reading statistics.The film doesn't just mischaracterize historical figures, it mischaracterizes biblical figures, texts, and God Himself, all in ways that can't be considered concessions of the medium.Melvin talks about the one scene in the movie he liked.The two agree: It's not just a bad biblical adaptation, it's also a bad movie.Recommendations:Read Exodus from the BibleThe Prince of Egypt (1998) (Movie) (Cinematic Doctrine Episode)The Ten Commandments (1956) (Movie)The Midnight Meat Train (2008) (Movie) Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Traditionally, Egyptian princes are almost invisible. The pharaohs downplayed the presence of their sons, to reduce political competition and maintain religious order. Sety I (c.1300 BCE) changed this habit. In art and monuments, he promoted young Ramesses II to a position of prominence and power. The exact nature of this promotion is slightly controversial among Egyptologists. In this episode, we explore Ramesses' rise and some of the thorny issues. Additionally, Prof. Peter Brand joins us to discuss some of the harder questions on these period. Peter Brand, The Monuments of Sety I (2000), available free at Academia.edu.
