Why are there not more films like this?

Btw why are you guys still calling it Prince of Egypt?

Because religion is basically a bunch of tale tales designed to teach you good morals. And honestly, it doesn't do a really good job at it.

Think about it. All the bush burning and deadly plagues and...a fire tornado? And finally ending with parting a sea is supposed to tell me that slavery is a bad thing to do. It's batshit insane and it blows my mind that educated adults believe this actually happened. As in, it's literal proven history. It just...I just don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, Prince of Egypt was amazing...but it could've been way, WAY better if they took out God and the "miracles" and simply replaced it with things that most likely happened. Plagues were a thing. Nearby volcano's erupting could easily explained the "raining down fire and covering Egypt in darkness". Even the parting of the sea technically could've happened like if there was a drought or the geography of the region allowed for a sand bar to appear.

Jews ran out of underdog stories

I need more of that egyptian milf

There are other Christianity-themed animations, but a vast majority of them are worse than this one.

Hard subject to make marketable/interesting + probably really expensive to make since it's a really technically competent film

Unironically liked this film better than Prince of Egypt.

Blame the Jews!

Wait, something doesn't add up here.

The world doesn't deserve the kino

>Think about it. All the bush burning and deadly plagues and...a fire tornado? And finally ending with parting a sea is supposed to tell me that slavery is a bad thing to do.
Yes

>>let's make it realistic brah
Gross

I think the more glaring thing isn't that we are supposed to believe those supernatural things really happened, but that tormenting and killing the population of egypt with magic really goes against our understanding of what is fair and just.
We get to see how god kills innocent children to help out his worshipers. Saying "lol, it's the pharaos fault, he didn't let them go!!" propably doesn't sit right with most people, especially when you are supposed to literally have an almighty and loving entity on your side.

That leaves some ambiguity, but I'll believe it because it's just way too cool.

Fun fact: many Egyptians just went around naked.

*turns red*
b-b-but then you could see their peepees and vaguavas and booberoonis!

Grow up.

And pray tell, why would the story suddenly improve by being "historically accurate"? If anything, that a long series of natural catastrophes just happened to occur right in the moment when this jew prophet needed them to spook the egyptians would be contrived as hell, from a narrative standpoint.

Just consider the film a fantasy story, it neither gains nor loses anything from changing genre, though I assume in your opinion removing the explicit miracles from the film would make it more big brained and thought provoking? The film already does a good enough job by itself, displaying the full brutality from the "good guys" and dedicating a good chunk of time to show Ramses' sympathetic side. It never says it out loud, but it's plain to see that God is fucking everyone up just to take it out on one guy, and Moses is the only hebrew who actually cares about this.
You're not supposed to be cheering and saying "take that!" when the plagues hit and the ebil slavers get fucked. You're meant to feel for Moses watching his old home go down in flames partially by his hand, and be impacted by the full display of the often invoked "divine wrath"

>They were only slaves
That line still gets to me. Because just previously he almost felt ashamed and sadden by the massacre, but this line wasn't even trying to frighten Moses. He was saying this line to comfort him and didn't anything wrong with it.
