comment
The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 animated film based on the biblical Book of Exodus, as well as the very first 2D animated film made by DreamWorks Animation. Until The Simpsons Movie came out in 2007, it was the highest-grossing traditionally animated film of all time not to be released by Disney.The film covers part of the life of Moses, from his being found and adopted by Pharaoh's family to his young adulthood, where he discovers his Hebrew heritage, to his adult life, when God tells Moses to confront the current Pharaoh and persuade him to free the Hebrew slaves in Egypt.The Prince of Egypt admits up front in a disclaimer that it takes liberties with the original story, but is nonetheless one of the more accurate retellings in cinema. The film has an All-Star Cast to voice its characters, including several of the smaller roles, and featured numerous musical numbers throughout. The film won considerable acclaim in its time, and even got an Oscar for the song "When You Believe".Compare with The Ten Commandments (1956) and Exodus: Gods and Kings, two live-action retellings of the story, and the animated film The Ten Commandments.The movie also spawned a Direct to Video follow-up/prequel Joseph: King of Dreams.A stage musical based on the movie debuted in 2017.

A Form You Are Comfortable With: God does this twice: During the dream where Moses learns of the murder of the Hebrew infants one can see the Disc of Aten, Aten being, in a (forcibly eradicated) variant of Egyptian religion, the One True God and Creator of All Life. As the burning bush He uses Moses's own voice throughout the conversation.

comment
Memento Macguffin: Rameses gives Moses a scarab ring to mark his promotion to chief architect. Later, as Moses starts his self-imposed exile, he discards all of the princely trappings from his wardrobe, but can't manage to throw away the ring. He keeps it until he returns to Egypt, then gives it back to Rameses as a symbol that he has returned as an enemy, not a brother.

Darker and Edgier: Being the second Dreamworks animated film, it is quite one of the darkest ever made by the studio as it depicts the book of Exodus without sugarcoating anything while touching serious themes such as slavery, death, and genocide. There is also a bunch of violent and disturbing scenes, such as Moses' Nightmare, the murder of an Egyptian, the Plagues, and the infanticide at the beginning during Deliver Us.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: At the beginning, Moses and Rameses have caused chaos during their chariot race. Later at when they're late for the banquet "Playing With The Big Boys Now" can be seen as a challenge to God. As the next song ("The Plagues") shows, this was not wise. Rameses says that "there shall be a great cry in all of Egypt", threatening to kill off the Hebrew population. The "great cry" that comes about is not the one he expected. Lampshaded as Moses' reaction to this makes it clear he knows exactly what his brother is doing by saying that line.

Four-Philosophy Ensemble
 The Prince of Egypt / int_1759ff85
comment
Four-Philosophy Ensemble: The Cynic - Aaron. Years of slavery have stolen his faith from him, and he's initially hostile towards Moses for trying to intervene (and unintentionally making things worse). He also tries to keep Miriam from doing anything reckless to keep her out of trouble. The Optimist - Miriam. No matter how hard her life as a slave gets, she never loses faith, and she encourages those around her to do the same. The Realist - Moses. He serves as a middle ground between Miriam and Aaron, knowing that the harsh treatment of the Hebrews is unacceptable, but not impossible to be freed from. The Apathetic One - Tzipporah. The thing she cares about most when it comes to the whole situation is that Moses is unharmed.

comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Even after the death of his father, Rameses is still struggling to get out from under the man's immense shadow and wants to be the kind of Pharaoh his father was. This leads to tragedy for the Egyptians. Truth in Television for this one, at least for the first half of that statement. Rameses II is, by all accounts, one of Egypt's greatest kings, and many speculate that his achievements were motivated by a desire to live up to his father's legacy.

Misplaced Wildlife: One shot in "Deliver Us" shows several, presumably wild generic monkeys. Even though monkey-like primates (i.e. Apidium) have lived there for most of the Age of Mammals, it's unlikely that any native primates other than baboons and humans survived in Egypt after the drying out of the Sahara. Possibly justifiable if they were brought there from elsewhere in the Old World.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_1c1d0016
comment
Disappointing Heritage Reveal: Moses is initially horrified when he discovers he is of Jewish heritage since the Jews are enslaved under his adoptive family (and he has grown up believing that the Jews are lesser because of this). This leads to his BSoD Song "All I Ever Wanted", where he tries to deny this and say he's still a prince of Egypt. This is subverted when he discovers that the only reason he was given away was that his adoptive father was murdering Jewish infants, leading to a Heritage Face Turn.

comment
Automaton Horses: In Moses' and Rameses' chariot race none of their horses panic or run out of control, despite their race leading atop construction scaffolding and collapsing buildings. Could be justified by a combination of the horses being very well-trained, as well as simply being used to this kind of thing - the race and the scene after it certainly seems to establish that this sort of behavior is nothing new for them. Averted during the cavalry charge of the Egyptian army at the end of the film. Horses are seen panicking, throwing off their riders and running wild after they are startled.

Chekhov's Gag
 The Prince of Egypt / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: The defaced monument of the Pharaoh is seen in the background of several scenes after it occurs, even when the conversations are otherwise serious. By the time Moses returns, however, the defacement has been corrected. When Tzipporah is offered to Rameses by the priests, she tries to bite his hand and Moses teases him: "Not much of a snake charmer, are you?" When Moses shows up at the palace for the first time and tells Rameses to "let his people go" and then transforms his staff into a snake, Rameses smirks and says "Hotep, Huy, show this snake charmer our answer". Moses had brought Tzipporah to the palace as his wife. When Moses and Tzipporah first meet, he humiliates her by letting go of the rope she's pulling on, causing her to fall backward into a pool of water. When Moses is trapped in the well in Midian, Tzipporah lets go of the rope she was using to pull him out as soon as she realizes who he is. Unlike the other two examples, Tzipporah was very well aware of the callback. Moses finds it Actually Pretty Funny and well-deserved.

Ironic Echo: The song "The Ten Plagues" is punctuated by the words "Thus saith The Lord", demanding Rameses yield to God. The words are repeated when he refuses, implying that "The Lord" is himself. When Moses is fleeing Egypt after killing the Egyptian who was torturing a slave, Rameses sympathetically and lovingly tries to stop him. Moses says only "Goodbye, Brother" before running away. Rameses then yells out "Moses! Moses!!" in pleading despair. At the end of the movie, when Rameses crashes onto the shore from the Red Sea closing in, he once again screams out "Moses! Moses!!", but this time it is out of fury at having lost not only his son, but his slaves and effectively his kingdom, all by Moses's hand. Once again, Moses only states "Goodbye, Brother."

comment
Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter: A dramatic variant, depending on your interpretation; after breaking Egyptian law by accidentally killing one of the guards overseeing the slave labor, Moses exiles himself to the desert, even though Rameses is fully willing to pardon him. Eventually, a sandstorm hits; rather than try to find shelter, Moses drops to his knees as if to surrender to the wrath of the gods. As in the Bible itself and Played for Drama, Rameses keeps doing this despite the very obvious signs that God is very real and sending His wrath upon his people. Most obviously during "The Plagues" song where he asks for his heart to be hardened so that he won't release the Hebrews.

Anachronism Stew
 The Prince of Egypt / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: For all the filmmakers' efforts to accurately portray 19th-Dynasty Egypt, some mistakes managed to slip through the cracks: The film is supposed to take place during the reigns of Seti I (1290 - 1279 BCE) and Rameses II (1279 - 1213 BCE), yet in the wall murals shown during Seti's lifetime, the cartouches don't bear his names◊, but rather those of Akhenaten◊ (1353 - 1336 BCE). Due to his monumental shake-up of the cultural/religious establishment during his reign, Akhenaten and his successors (Smenkhara, Tutankhamun, and Ay) were systematically erased from the official records, and their monuments either destroyed or usurped by later kings. Come Act 2, however, the cartouches correctly contain Rameses II's names◊. For that matter, there are a couple of shots (one during "All I Ever Wanted"◊, and the other during Moses' nightmare) that show images of Akhenaten's favored god, Aten (the solar disc, with rays ending in hands) in the murals in the palace. In one frame◊ during "All I Ever Wanted," we see a zebra skin on the floor in Moses' room. Zebras did live in Egypt during the last Ice Age, but as the Sahara dried out, they went regionally extinct, and wouldn't be seen in Egypt again until after it had become part of the Roman Empire (over 1,200 years after Rameses II died).

Widescreen Shot: The three scenes set in the Pharaoh's throne room are occasionally shot side-on, showing the characters in profile and looking out over the city. These shots are in a widescreen format much wider than the rest of the movie to illustrate the backdrop the characters are up against. The background is different in each scene due to the progressing time, showing the status of Egypt at that moment; Egypt during the reign of Seti I, Egypt prosperous under Rameses II before the return of Moses, and Egypt in ruins after the Plagues.

At the end of the scene, having sewn it into a sack, he fills it with liquid from a present dish and drops it on the passing priests as a water balloon.

Adapted Out

comment
Adapted Out: Moses and Tzipporah had two sons in the Bible, Gershom and Eliezer, but they don't exist here. Neither does Joshua, who plays a big part in the Book of Exodus and is actually one of the few people from the original group of Hebrew slaves to reach the Holy Land. Moses' father Amram actually lived to see the slaves being freed from Egypt (as did Yocheved) but he does not appear here. Yocheved does appear, but dies off-screen before Moses reaches adulthood. God did not harden Rameses' heart in in the movie; instead it was Rameses' hubris alone that results in Egypt's suffering. The historical Rameses II had seven wives, three or four of whom were his own daughters, with whom he produced something like one hundred children. In the film, this is pared down to just one wife and one son. All seven of Rameses' wives were Great Royal Wife at some point, the film just seems to be depicting the then Great Royal Wife. Historically, Seti I's firstborn was a daughter named Tia, and some historians believe he had a second one named Henutmire (who was one of Rameses II's wives). Neither daughter exists in the film, and Rameses is his only biological child. Rameses II owned a lion as a pet who even fought alongside him at Kadesh. No such animal appears, indeed there is a strange lacking of felines in the film considering how Egyptians thought them sacred.

Kick the Dog: Seti does this and Pet the Dog at the same time when he sees Moses staring at the hieroglyphics showing the massacre of Hebrew babies. The "petting" part comes when he notices that his son is clearly distressed, hugs him tightly, and tries to comfort him, the "kicking" part comes when he casually brushes off the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of infants because, after all, "they were only slaves."

Actor Allusion: This isn't the first time (or the last) that Helen Mirren played the role of a queen. Patrick Stewart is no stranger to playing royalty, either. In "Playing With the Big Boys Now" Hotep, played by Steve Martin, briefly does a goofy Egyptian walk. Just like ol' King Tut! Once again, Ralph Fiennes is a cause of misery for the Hebrew/Jewish people. Hotep and Huy's powers can be explained as the Egyptian equivalent of Stage Magic. Steve Martin performed as a magician.

On the other hand, Moses is completely smitten after she ties up his guards and climbs out his window.

Recurring Riff: Yocheved's lullaby, which she sings to Moses as she lays him in the basket of reeds. It plays a prominent part in the soundtrack - it's even the first and last thing the audience hears during the film. But it also serves a purpose in the plot: Moses is later shown to remember the song even as an adult, and it's not until he hears Miriam singing it that he realises the truth of his origins as a Hebrew.

Dated History: In 1994, Rameses was discovered to be a redhead and in 2016 he was discovered to be fair-skinned meaning the black-haired, brown-skinned depiction in this film has actually become dated. Given how genetics work, the appearance of Seti and Tuya also fall under this trope as do all the Egyptians as they were historically quite diverse due to Egypt having always been a melting pot and crossroads meaning there have always been Egyptians of every hair and skin color.

Morton's Fork
 The Prince of Egypt / int_407d3e6d
comment
Morton's Fork: Rameses, in his desire to avoid being the "weak link" his father dismissed him as. On one hand, if he frees the Hebrews, he'll go down in time as the king who willingly gave away the main source of labor on which Egypt's power and overall magnificence greatly depends. On the other hand, if he fights to keep the Hebrews as slaves, Egypt is destroyed by God and the plagues. Either way, he, his legacy, and his dynasty's legacy are completely screwed. Although, given that history remembers him as "the great" and his reign marks the absolute pinnacle of Egypt's power, authority, and glory, maybe he doesn't do too badly, though he doesn't know this at the time (though this is probably more to do with the fact that the real Rameses likely wasn't actually the Pharaoh ruling Egypt at the time the plagues took place).

Not long after, he pulls both Moses and Tzipporah into a giant hug after they decide to get married. When Moses returns to Egypt, he and Rameses eye each other in surprise. Rameses, however, quickly gets over the shock and grabs Moses in a giant hug, lifting him off the floor and apparently even squeezing the air out of Moses.

Gory Discretion Shot: Several times. In the opening massacre of the Hebrew sons, we follow an Egyptian soldier as he shoves his way into a woman's house and raises his blade above her child's crib, before a rather disturbing Smash Cut to him calmly walking out of the house, past the sobbing mother. Zigzagged with Moses' staff devouring Huy and Hotep's snakes. The shot initially cuts away from the three snakes striking at one another to their shadows, showing Moses' snatching one of the others, before cutting to Hotep and Huy singing, then cutting back to the shadow of Moses' snake now devouring both of the others, then panning back to Moses' snake as the tails of the other snakes disappear down its throat.

Sexy Silhouette: Subverted. After Moses has Tziporrah sent to his chambers by Rameses, he sees a shadowy figure sitting on his bed behind a curtain, looking as if it is her sitting there with her arms crossed defiantly. He visibly works up his nerves before pulling the curtain back to reveal that it is the servant who had escorted her there all tied up. He then realizes that his dogs are tied up as well and there is a Bedsheet Ladder going out his window.

Artistic License – History
 The Prince of Egypt / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The Egyptian Captivity and the Exodus are thought by nearly all historians to be myths. There is no material evidence of Israelites living in Egypt at this time, which would have been extremely obvious even if only a few hundred lived in Egypt for a few decades - it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to live in an area for four hundred years and leave no archaeological evidence. The Bible never identifies Pharaoh by name, but the film goes with Seti I as the Pharaoh who ordered the purge, and Rameses II as the Pharaoh at the time of the Plagues. This is one possibility, but not one considered very likely by most scholars, mostly because Egypt thrived under Rameses II and Canaan was part of the Egyptian Empire during his time. Most scholars today think the Exodus story never happened, certainly not exactly as described in the Bible, although the Plagues may have happened as legitimate scientific phenomena. In fact, the term "Pharaoh" wasn't even used until after Rameses died, so clearly it was written down later. Rameses is portrayed as having been a small child when his father Seti I ordered the execution of the firstborn Hebrew children. Historically, Rameses was thirteen when Seti became Pharaoh; he would have been a small child during the reign of Horemheb (1320— 1292 BCE), his grandfather's predecessor. Similar to the above, Rameses' firstborn son, Amun-her-khepeshef, is portrayed as having been a child when he died. Rameses' thirteenth son and ultimate successor, Merneptah, was nineteen when Amun-her-khepeshef died. The term "Pharaoh" was not used contemporaneously for a ruler until the reign of his thirteenth son and immediate successor Merenptah (1213-1203 BCE). That one may be chalked up to Translation Convention.

Orphaned Etymology
 The Prince of Egypt / int_568b9d5
comment
Orphaned Etymology: Seti warns Rameses, "One weak link can break the chain of a mighty dynasty." Moses' time, however, is generally placed between 1400 - 1200 BCE. Metal chains constructed in the sense that Seti's talking about weren't around until at least 255 BCE. So this is either taking liberties with history or linguistics. The figurative phrase "weakest link" wasn't even established until the 18th Century. Could also be a rough translation of a then-current phrase that means essentially the same thing - especially since modern English itself wouldn't actually exist for almost 2,500 years. In the Taiwanese Mandarin dub, instead of calling Rameses a "weak link", Pharaoh Seti calls him a "fu bu qi de Adou" which translates to a "weak and inept person", a "hopeless case", or a "person who cannot be helped". Adou was the nickname for Liu Shan, a Chinese emperor who ruled from 223 AD to 263 CE. He was also the second and last emperor of the Shu Han dynasty. He was called Adou due to being an incapable and mentally handicapped ruler. Nowadays, Adou is used to call people who are useless and will not achieve anything.

Karma Houdini Warranty: Moses gets away with accidentally killing a man because Rameses proclaims him innocent and clears him of all charges, despite Moses's guilt over the crime and Hotep and Huy reminding Rameses of this after Moses returns. Being the adoptive brother of an absolute monarch God-Emperor hath its benefits. Then Moses reveals he is not here to stay, but to free the slaves, explaining he can no longer become a prince. Rameses not only refuses but also increases their labor, pointing out pragmatically that the slaves will blame Moses for rocking the boat.

Omniscient Morality License: God. A point made at several times in the Old Testament (especially referenced in the Book of Job,) and referenced when Moses is speaking to the Burning Bush, is that God's knowledge is so much vaster than any mere humans that no one can fully comprehend His actions. When Moses questions why he is being selected to free the Israelites, God explicitly states that He has done so much more than Moses will ever even be able to conceive.

Hell Is That Noise: Actually Heaven, not hell, but you get the picture. The Angel of Death taking all the firstborn sons of Egypt is accompanied by a soft, whispering wind and the almost peaceful sighs of its victims. Interestingly, unlike most examples of this trope, which use a loud and shocking sound to startle the audience or set them on edge, the sound of the the Angel killing the Egyptian children is all the more terrifying for how utterly quiet and understated it is.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_69681e01
comment
Big Brother Instinct: Little Brother Instinct rather. When Seti summons Rameses for punishment about the cart chase, Moses immediately says that it wasn't his brother's fault; Moses goaded him. Rameses's first reaction to his little brother killing a man in front of multiple witnesses is to declare him innocent. When Moses returns after years of being gone, he is ready to give his brother a high position and wipe away the grime. Aaron is frequently seen trying to protect Miriam from the consequences of her actions, as her forwardness places her in trouble with the Egyptian authorities. Miriam displays big sister instinct towards her brothers, especially Moses. She comforts and motivates him whenever he's distraught or close to giving up and stands up for him when faced with an angry crowd. Even as a child, her main priority was to ensure that her baby brother was safe.

Meaningful Echo: "Look at your family/people. They are free." Miriam's line to Moses, when she's trying to tell him about his true heritage, is later repeated by Moses when confronts Rameses before running away from home. In "Deliver Us", the enslaved Hebrews wonder desolately if God can hear His people cry. Much later, when Moses finds the Burning Bush, God says that "I have seen the oppression of My people in Egypt, and heard their cry."

Casting Gag: In the Biblical story, Moses was said to be "slow of tongue", indicating that he had a stutter or other form of speech impediment, and he relied on his brother Aaron to speak for him when confronting the Pharoah. Moses is perfectly capable of speaking in this film, while Aaron is voiced by Jeff Goldblum, an actor known for his distinct stutter.

Named by the Adaptation: Pharaoh's magicians are not named in the Book of Exodus so the film calls them Hotep and Huy. Ancient tradition calls them Jannes and Jambres, which is reflected in the Christian scriptures. For that matter, the Bible does not name the Pharaoh either. The Pharaoh of the Exodus is traditionally (and controversially) identified as Rameses II, and that's what this film goes with.

Mirrored Confrontation Shot: Moses and Pharaoh Rameses during the song "The Plagues". The sequence is done rather symbolically. During the song, both Moses and Rameses sing about how they saw each other as brothers and how none of them wanted the plagues to happen. Near the end of the song, their faces do a Juxtaposed Halves Shot. Then their faces rotate apart so that they are facing each other, signifying that whatever bond they had is now permanently broken.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Moses and Rameses are associated with red and blue respectively. The Red/Blue split doesn't just apply to Moses and Rameses, but to the Hebrews and Egyptians more generally. Scenes in the royal palace have soft blue or purple lighting and cool-toned backgrounds; the Hebrews, in contrast, are surrounded by warmer lighting and more natural red/brown colors. One interesting thing to notice is that all divine beings are represented by white, and the Pharaoh dresses in white. The Pharaoh is meant to be a god to Egyptians.

Spared by the Adaptation: In the Book of Exodus, the Pharaoh drowned when the Red Sea crashed underneath him and his army once Moses and the Hebrews reached the other side of the sea. Here, Rameses survived the crashing waves washing away him and his soldiers as the torrent throws him back to his side of the sea. Justified, since the real Rameses II is known to have lived to old age and died of natural causes. Likewise, in the Bible, the soldiers' horses are said to have drowned in the Red Sea. Here, when the Egyptians pursue the Hebrews into the sea, their chariots crash, and the panicked horses turn around and flee.

Arc Words
 The Prince of Egypt / int_7464705c
comment
Arc Words: "All I ever wanted." These words frame the character arc of Moses, as he initially believes that "all I ever wanted" was to rule wisely and well as the Prince of Egypt. But as he learns who he is, Moses wistfully reflects that this isn't really what he wants. Also, Moses' inner thoughts during the Plagues are that "even now, I wish that God had chose another", since he still feels affection for Rameses. "The weak link in the chain." These words frame the character arc of Rameses, as he constantly feels like he has to live up to the same reputation of his father. Rameses insists that he will not be the "weak link", and he digs in his heels while letting his pride and vengeance consume him out of a misguided desire to not look weak.

Why Did You Make Me Hit You?

comment
Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: Rameses is so hurt and enraged by Moses returning only to free the slaves, that he increases their workload and blames it on Moses pleading for their freedom. Interestingly, Rameses and his son view Moses as the one doing this, since in his mind his brother is asking the impossible by demanding he free slaves, then inflicts so much suffering on Egypt and then blames Rameses for what he is doing.

Animation Bump: In a remarkable subversion of the typical outcome for animated films of its era, the scenes which use CGI for the backgrounds, which manage to deftly integrate the film's relatively angular 2D character designs with the blockier, more geometric aesthetic indigenous to CGI of the period, thus augmenting the enormity and bombast of the film's environments and human scale as opposed to breaking the immersion of its visual aesthetic.

While Rameses still goes way too far in his vengeance and pride, he's presented with at least some sympathy.

Facial Profiling
 The Prince of Egypt / int_801e0eb5
comment
Facial Profiling: The Hebrews are depicted with curly mops of unruly dark hair and many of them have larger noses. They also have lighter skin compared to the darker Egyptians. The Egyptians themselves have round, smooth faces with high cheekbones, narrow eyes, and smooth black hair. This was intentional, as explained in the promotional materials. The Egyptians in general are composed of angular, symmetric, geometric lines in contrast to the Hebrews' rounded, more natural, and varied forms. Authentic Egyptian art depicts Semites as bearded and lighter skinned in contrast to the clean-shaven, slightly darker Egyptians. This is also historically justified; ancient Egyptian priests, nobility and upper classes in general shaved and plucked their bodies, which marks Moses out as an outsider from the very beginning: he has short hair under his wig, a small beard, and natural eyebrows.

When Moses and Tzipporah first meet, he humiliates her by letting go of the rope she's pulling on, causing her to fall backward into a pool of water. When Moses is trapped in the well in Midian, Tzipporah lets go of the rope she was using to pull him out as soon as she realizes who he is. Unlike the other two examples, Tzipporah was very well aware of the callback. Moses finds it Actually Pretty Funny and well-deserved.

Juxtaposed Halves Shot: Done during "The Plagues" between Moses and Rameses. It shows a closeup of Moses's face as he looks over the city, torn up over all the suffering brought by the plagues. Then the left side of his face (from the viewer's perspective) changes to that of Rameses, who by refusing to accede to Moses is allowing the plagues to continue. For added contrast, Moses's face is cast in yellow lighting while Rameses's is cast in blue.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Rameses is a much more sympathetic and tragic character here than the Biblical Pharaoh of the Exodus, as the film emphasizes his "Well Done, Son" Guy complex and his brotherly love for Moses. In the musical, he goes further, after remembering his life with Moses, he holds back on ordering the Egyptians to advance by the Red Sea, but is overruled by Hotep. Moses also kills the Egyptian overseer accidentally rather than deliberately. He shows a lot of guilt over it, and exiles himself as punishment.

Formerly Friendly Family: Moses and Rameses are very close at the start of the movie, with Moses even trying to defend him from their father. Even after Moses returns many years later, both want to continue their close relationship. However, due to Moses being the one who has the free the slaves, he is forced to do worse and worse things to the people Rameses rules over as Rameses continues to refuse, despite Moses begging him to. Finally, after the final plague which results in the death of every first born son in Egypt, Rameses lets the slaves go. However, at the crossing of the sea, Rameses returns to try and kill all the slaves, Moses included, making it clear things are over between the two former brothers.

comment
Reality Is Unrealistic: Four years prior to this movie's release, it was discovered that Rameses II was a fair-skinned ginger. The reason he's depicted as tan, bald, and swarthy is likely because audiences would have wondered why they made the Egyptian Pharaoh look like an Irish man, amusing given Goidel Glas, the mythological father of the Gaels, was a grandson of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Given how genetics work, Seti and Tuya's appearance likewise fall under this trope.

Badass Boast: Rameses has this as Pharaoh. "I am the morning and the evening star" and "If I say night is day it will be written" are notable examples. God Himself also gets one during the Burning Bush scene. "The Plagues" is half Quarreling Song and half one of these delivered from the point of view of God, promising to utterly destroy Egypt without discrimination or mercy if Rameses does not set His chosen people free. Hotep and Huy have one in "Playing With the Big Boys Now", even if in the end they couldn't back it up:

Refusal of the Call: Questioning of the call, at any rate. Upon being told that he's been chosen to return to Egypt and free the slaves, Moses argues that he was the son of the man who slaughtered Hebrew children and that God must have picked the wrong messenger. God gets snippy, then significantly less snippy, and that settles the matter.

Hero vs. Villain Duet
 The Prince of Egypt / int_8adccc77
comment
Hero vs. Villain Duet: "The Plagues" is sung between Moses and Rameses as the titular plagues ravage Egypt, with the former begging the latter to stop being so stubborn so he can stop making innocents suffer, which the latter declares to the former that he isn't giving up no matter what. Interestingly, unlike most Hero vs. Villain Duets, this song is rather somber and rather then coming off as triumphant for both sides, it instead displays just how poorly both brothers are taking having to fight each other over what they believe is right.

Didn't Think This Through
 The Prince of Egypt / int_8d0785d5
comment
Didn't Think This Through: Moses thinks that if he talks to Rameses like old times, he can try to release the Hebrew people peacefully. The thing is, that he barges in on his brother, who is now a Pharaoh, and claims that he is following a new god that wants the slaves to be free because it's the right thing to do. Rameses in public plays it off as Moses being mischievous, but in private has to go by The Chains of Commanding and point out the obvious: there is no benefit to the Egyptians by freeing the slaves, and he knows that his brother returned home expecting followers. If Rameses just frees the slaves like that, it will cause huge economic disruption and potential political chaos. He also is betrayed that Moses chose the slaves over him, and that starts their vendetta which leads to the Ten Plagues. It's likely that if Moses had come to him in private and tried to suggest a plan where everyone is saved, it might have led to more negotiations.

Laser-Guided Karma
 The Prince of Egypt / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Under Seti's order, Egypt slaughters all Hebrew newborn children to prevent any sort of future uprising. Karma strikes decades later when God sends the Plagues upon Egypt, but especially the worst one of all: the Final Plague, which kills the firstborn children of Egypt, including Rameses's son. However, beforehand, He lets Moses try one last time to talk Rameses out of it before the final Plague is unleashed, and Rameses decides to try and imitate his father's actions, resulting in this trope being done to him as well. More humorously, when Moses and Tzipporah first met, he made her fall into a water basin by releasing his grip on her whip. When they meet again after his exile, Tzipporah just pulled Moses out of a well with a rope. When she recognizes him, she releases her grip on the rope, letting him fall back down the well.

Rule of Symbolism
 The Prince of Egypt / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: In the opening sequence the Hebrew slaves look with awe at the statue of Ra that they just put up, which symbolized the power of the Egyptians over them. Toward the end of the plagues sequence, the statue crumbles. Some scholars believe that the plagues were meant to rebuke the various Egyptian religions and their gods (Ra, god of the Sun falls on the onset of the plague of darkness). When Moses first returns to Rameses, he shows God's power by turning his staff into a snake; in an effort to rebuke him, the priests apparently turn their staves into snakes, too, but in this version of the story Egyptian polytheism is shown to be a sham with all of the "miracles" performed by the priests being stage magic. Not only does this emphasize that, from the perspective of millions or billions of people, the Ancient Egyptian religion is all lies and deceit whereas the Abrahamic religionnote in this case Judaism, since Christianity, Islam, and other derivatives don't exist yet is the one true faith but also that the singular Hebrew God is more powerful than the false Egyptian ones. Hammering this home, by the end of the scene Moses's staff-snake has devoured the two fake ones, symbolizing the power that God is shown to have over the false gods of Egypt throughout the rest of the story. Several times in the film, Rameses is shown to be behind a mural of bound Hebrew slaves (in the scene where he begs Moses not to run away, shortly after Moses wins the showdown between the high priests, and in a brief moment during the plagues sequence) and culminates in Rameses declaring his intentions of finishing what his father began right behind the mural of Seti ordering the deaths of the Hebrew babies. These were at pivotal moments of his deteriorating relationship with Moses. The slavery of the Hebrews by the Egyptian Empire (and Rameses' unwillingness to relent to end their suffering) kept coming between any of their attempts to reconcile. When Moses explains his Mission from God to Tzipporah, a flock of sheep and their shepherd passes them by, highlighting his role as the chosen shepherd of God's people. Once the Angel of Death disappears into a vortex in the night sky the stars become visible, including one of the constellations: Orion, The Hunter. Very appropriate given how the Angel just finished hunting down all the firstborns of Egypt. During the scene where the Hebrews begin leaving Egypt, an old lady briefly leans close to the same mural of slaves that featured when Moses first left Egypt. Slavery—depicted in the portrait—was likely all she and her family ever knew, and the uncertainty that freedom brought felt overwhelming. With the help of a small girl, she moves forward, joining her people in leaving that image behind.

Villainous Breakdown: In a very tragic example, Rameses snaps after the death of his son, riding after Moses and the Hebrews and, when they try to escape him through the Red Sea, he shouts to his men "Kill them!

Parting the Sea: While God keeps Rameses and his army at bay (with a pillar of fire), Moses uses his staff to part the Red Sea to give him and the Hebrews an exit. While passing through it, some of the undersea creatures are seen through the wall. For a bit of drama, Moses has to race to the other side when the water starts to recede. He makes it, but Rameses army isn't so lucky.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Several scenes at the beginning of the film obliquely refer to later events, particularly when the Pharaoh is scolding Rameses and Moses, and the conversation Moses and Rameses have afterwards. The scenes get numerous call backs later in the film. Also, during the scene when the Queen names Moses. From the angle of the "camera", Rameses (as a small toddler) is completely covered up by Moses in the Queen's arms. At the climax of "Playing With The Big Boys", the snake created from Moses' staff is swallowing the two brought out by Hotep and Huy whole, practically screaming how well Rameses' refusal to let the Hebrews go will fare. This is actually how it goes in the Bible as well. When Moses confronts Rameses about the final plague, his son interrupts their meeting before Rameses declares his intent to wipe out the Hebrew firstborn sons like his father. Rameses' son is standing in front of the mural part of the where the Hebrew boys are being drowned and killed, showing that he and Egyptian firstborns will die when the Angel of Death comes.

Red Is Heroic
 The Prince of Egypt / int_a195310a
comment
Red Is Heroic: Red is symbolically used to represent the heroes. Moses is the prime example as he’s the hero trying to liberate his people from Rameses and he mostly wears red throughout the movie, even when he was a baby. Other heroic characters who wear some red are his mother who saved him from being killed by Seti I and his sister Miriam who supported him through the entire endeavor. His wife Tzipporah also wears a red ponytail holder and has a red cloth during “Through Heaven’s Eyes� and is just as devoted to supporting Moses and protecting him from harm.

Artistic License – Religion
 The Prince of Egypt / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: The disclaimer at the start is open about this. In the original story, Moses was discovered by Pharaoh's daughter, not his wife, and was nursed by his own mother. He would have been considered nobility as he was raised in Pharaoh's court, but was not a prince. This also means that the Pharaoh with whom he had to negotiate the release of the Hebrew slaves had never been his adoptive brother. He probably always knew that he was a Hebrew or at least non-Egyptian, but in this film he does not find out until he is a young adult. In Exodus, Moses secretly murders the Egyptian whipping the slave and hides his body by burying it in the sand. It is only when a fellow Hebrew pulls a "I know what you did" on him that he realizes that his crime has been discovered. Pharaoh then tries to have him executed, but he escapes. Here, Moses kills the Egyptian in an accidental act of public manslaughter, and he immediately flees into self-imposed exile in shame. In Exodus, Moses and Aaron are 80 and 83 years old, respectively, at the time of the plagues. While Moses is shown to have spent at least several years as a shepherd, he is still very much a young man when he confronts Rameses here, while in Exodus, he spent 40 years as a shepherd.note This change is probably due to the shorter lifespans on the Pharaohs' part—an 80-year old Moses would've been very unlikely to have confronted the same prince he grew up with. That said, the Pharaoh of the film is clearly meant to be Rameses the Great, who lived to be 90. In Exodus, Moses actually had Aaron speak to Pharaoh on his behalf and also perform most of the miracles, as Moses was a poor orator. This is the original context in which Moses objects to being chosen as God's spokesman which provokes God's heated response "Who made man's mouth?". In a case of Adaptational Skill, this film has Moses speak to Pharaoh himself, which is common in adaptations of Exodus. Rameses II survives the parting of the Red Sea, while in the original story the Pharaoh either drowned or survived and became a wandering storyteller. This is another common change in adaptations of Exodus. note As the above note mentions, the real Rameses II lived to be 90 and died of natural causes.

Award-Bait Song: "When You Believe", which won the Best Song Oscar. Also qualifies as a Breakout Pop Hit, as there are many fans of the song who only know it as "that Whitney/Mariah song". Especially combined with the "multi-lingual version". Interestingly, the version within the film has aged much better, as it lacks the "here's the obligatory Disney-style pop ballad" qualities of the end-credits version. There's also I Will Get There by Boyz II Men, of which there are two versions: one is an acapella version featured in the ends credits and in the offical soundtrack and another is a R&B/pop version featured in the Inspirational soundtrack. The soundtrack also features a R&B version of "Through Heaven's Eyes" sung by K-Ci & Jojo.

comment
Adaptation Dye-Job: The historical Rameses II was red-haired, a detail which can still be seen on his mummy. Here he is black haired - when he is haired at all, as his head is mostly shaved in traditional pharaonic fashion. This was discovered in 1994, the same time the film entered development so unlike The Ten Commandments (1956) it does not have the excuse of predating the discovery. This dye-job extends to the royal family as a whole, since Rameses came from a family of redheads.

Mood Whiplash: "When You Believe" is an inspiring song about how the strength of faith can bring about miracles. Played right after the plagues, it's either a glimmer of hope against the destruction or an iffy implication that the horrors counted as miracles.

Final Solution

comment
Final Solution: When Moses tries one last time to talk down Rameses before the final plague takes his son's life, Rameses starts ranting that Seti had the "right idea" how to deal with the Hebrews and that perhaps he should "finish the job". When his son dies, Rameses relents and lets Moses's people go, but later changes his mind and pursues them with his army to simply kill them all.

Dramatic Irony: Seti tells Moses that he will never have to carry a burden like Rameses will when the latter becomes Pharaoh. If only Seti knew... In a meta example, Seti and Rameses both fear Rameses may bring down the dynasty. In fact, the historical Rameses surpassed his (already great) father's legacy and became the greatest pharaoh in history.

Alas, Poor Villain: Rameses's downfall is portrayed with all the pathos of a family member suffering hardship. As punishment for not releasing the Hebrews, God's ten plagues devastate Egypt, with the final plague taking his son. Later, when Moses parts the Red Sea to take the freed Hebrews to the Promised Land, he tries to charge at them with his army, only to have them completely wiped out when the Sea closes up. All he can do is scream out Moses's name as he lays broken and defeated.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_ad9fbc1e

Pyrrhic Victory: As an adaptation of the Exodus, it ends with the implication that the hebrews end up in Canaan, the land promised to Abraham. There's a bit of problem with that. Canaan was actually part of the Egyptian empire during the time of Rameses II, having been actually conquered by Seti I, his father. To make matters even worse, Rameses II would eventually lead several military expeditions into the Levant and the tribe of Israel would eventually be wiped out by Rameses' thirteeneth son and successor Merneptah.

Setting Update: A minor example. Rabbinical Judaism tells us that Moses's lifespan corresponds to 1391 — 1271 BCE, telling us the Exodus happened in 1311 BCE and thus that the Pharaoh of the Exodus would have been Horemheb, the predecessor of Rameses I, the father of Seti. Jerome, on the other hand, gives Moses's year of birth as 1592 BCE, meaning the Exodus would have been in 1512 BCE with Thutmose I as the Pharaoh and Ussher gives Moses's year of birth as 1571 BCE, meaning the Exodus would have been in 1491 BCE, with the Pharaoh being Thutmose II.

What You Are in the Dark: Moses is given the chance to arrest Tzipporah when he sees her about to escape. Instead, he lets himself be a diversion so she can leave. When he meets Tzipporah's younger sisters, he is tired and hungry and saw the girls being harassed by water thieves. He could've just not butted in but used his strength to get the harassers away.

Demoted to Extra: Aaron, Moses's aide and spokesman in the Exodus, becomes less relevant to the story and does not personally support Moses until after the plagues have been unleashed; conversely, Tzipporah becomes an Ascended Extra. She instead of Aaron is with Moses in the staffs-to-snakes scene. Definitely applies to Nefretiri, Rameses's wife and mother of Amun, who only is briefly seen standing by Rameses's throne at the beginning of the scene where Moses first demands the release of his people, but does not appear again.

Both Sides Have a Point: How Moses and Rameses react to the former killing a foreman by accident. Rameses saw what happened — it was an accident and Moses knocked him off scaffolding by overreaching in his attempt to rescue a slave from being beaten — and reassures Moses that he's not a killer. Moses is shaken and says that it doesn't matter if it was an accident because he took a man's life.

Family-Values Villain: Despite ordering the mass infanticide among the Hebrew slaves, Pharaoh Seti I gives every sign of being a family man who genuinely loves his wife and sons. However, this is a rare example that serves to make him creepier rather than sympathetic due to the cognitive dissonance involved; he ignores the obvious implication that he nearly murdered the babe who later became his favorite son (Moses) because he doesn't seem to consider him a Hebrew at all, instead of a prince of Egypt.

Moses clearly takes this to heart, embracing the life of a shepherd.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_c420a553
comment
We Can Rule Together: Hotep and Huy make an offer something like to Moses during their Villain Song. This is also what Seti did by naming Rameses prince regent. He was essentially declared co-pharaoh with his father.

Song of Prayer
 The Prince of Egypt / int_c809bb38
comment
Song of Prayer: "Deliver Us", the opening song which portrays the Hebrew slaves in Egypt crying to God to deliver them from their bondage. "When You Believe" has a segment where a children's chorus begins singing in Hebrew a verse praising God for His deliverance of the Israelites. This is an example of the movie having shown their work as the Hebrews actually do sing a Song of Prayer after the Exodus in the Bible.

Seamless Spontaneous Lie: Played with. When Moses is chasing after Tzipporah, he tells the guards that there's a man tied up in his room to get the guards to leave. While this is true, Moses is lying that he knows nothing about why there's a man tied up in his room.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane
 The Prince of Egypt / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Hotep and Huy's snake conjuration was done with such theatrics that it's unclear if it's real magic or sleight of hand. Their attempt at turning water to blood and other "magic", however, is demonstrably accomplished through showmanship and artificial tools. At some points in their song, the positions they're in could only be managed by Offscreen Teleportation (unless they had body doubles). They also do some unambiguous magic in the same song, summoning glowing sigils in the air and controlling flames, although this could just be musical convention rather than actually happening In-Universe.

Nothing Is Scarier
 The Prince of Egypt / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: The Animated Musical format is taken advantage of for almost all significant plot developments, including the first nine plagues of Egypt, even when the sky is raining fire and the people are stricken with boils, so the audience gets very well acclimated to hearing some kind of music, even in the darkest scenes. Consequently, watching the Angel of Death sweeping through the streets of Egypt is so much scarier for occurring in complete silence that feels unnatural on a deep and primal level, with no sound effects whatsoever except for a soft rushing wind and the quiet sighs of its victims.

Anti-Villain: Rameses, to the point where the creators had to rewrite some scenes between him and Moses because he came off as too sympathetic and Moses as too cruel. He is forcing the Hebrews to work as slaves and refuses to let them go, just cracking down harder on them when Moses returns and demands their freedom. However, we are shown that he has been raised on the beliefs of his father, that a single weak king could cause the collapse of a long and proud dynasty, and Rameses refuses to let that be him.

Leave No Survivors: In the climax, Rameses and his army pursue the Hebrew refugees, during which he orders his men to kill all the unarmed Hebrews. Utterly ironic as well; all his life Rameses tried to be a greater Pharaoh than his imposing father Seti I ever was. Without realizing it, he tried to outshine his father's legacy even in something as extreme as mass murder.

A Million Is a Statistic: Defied. Seti and Tuya adopt a Hebrew baby and love him as their own son. However, they think nothing of enslaving and slaughtering countless other Hebrew babies since they don't know any of them. When Moses learns the truth, they try to convince him it doesn't matter since "they were only slaves." However, even though Moses doesn't personally know the countless Hebrew slaves in Egypt, he's so haunted by empathy for their suffering that it's part of what pushes him to obey God's will to free them.

Sympathetic P.O.V.: The film does this with Rameses, focusing equally on him and Moses. He's generally shown as a nice guy struggling between responsibility and his own feelings (but with two Evil Chancellors) who genuinely loves his (foster) brother. It's just that at the same time he doesn't see the Hebrew slaves suffering and dying for his empire as people, and every step Moses takes to try and free them only makes him act increasingly villainous.

Exact Words: "And there shall be a great cry in all of Egypt, such as there never has been or ever will be again", said by Rameses when he decides that his father had the right idea of how to keep the Hebrews in line by killing their children and wants to finish the job. There's a great cry in all of Egypt, all right, but it doesn't come from the Hebrews... Moses's reaction to Rameses's statement makes it clear he knows exactly how those words will play out.

Cain and Abel: Moses and Rameses are a deconstruction of this trope, as their history and affection lead to great turmoil and angst as they conflict with one another. Neither wants to kill the other (and it takes a spectacular Villainous Breakdown on Rameses's part before it gets to that point), but are thrust into their roles by a higher power.

 The Prince of Egypt / int_ebd01bc5
comment
Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: A variant. Rameses finds Tzipporah to be too feisty for his taste and dumps her on Moses. Ironically, he has her dried instead of bathed before being brought to his brother, as she had already fallen in a pool of water.

comment
Match Cut: One shot in The Plagues is of two Egyptian children hiding in their homes from the chaos outside. The cracks in the wall behind them then fade into Moses' face. During When You Believe, a tracking shot of a now empty working site has some abandoned pickaxes transition into beams of wood on top of two of the village houses.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 The Prince of Egypt / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Rameses names Moses Royal Chief Architect early in the film, but at no point between then and when he flees for the wilderness do we see him actually planning any architecture. Granted, exactly one night passes between the two events, but a construction project is being planned out at the very moment when Moses flees, and it's Rameses of all people who is planning it, not Moses.

Technician Versus Performer
 The Prince of Egypt / int_ef3d1b57
comment
Technician Versus Performer: The Moses vs. Hotep and Huy "snake duel" has shades of this. When summoning their snakes, the priests use a big theatrical musical number complete with a lot of smoke and mirrors; Moses, by contrast, just trusts in God, puts down his staff, and voila! Instant snake. Moses ends up winning.

Take Back Your Gift: Non-romantic example: Moses giving Rameses back his ring after returning to Egypt is presented as symbolic of Moses (reluctantly) cutting his brotherly ties with the Pharaoh in order to carry out the mission God gave him.

Adaptational Context Change
 The Prince of Egypt / int_f33ff01c
comment
In Exodus, Moses actually had Aaron speak to Pharaoh on his behalf and also perform most of the miracles, as Moses was a poor orator. This is the original context in which Moses objects to being chosen as God's spokesman which provokes God's heated response "Who made man's mouth?". In a case of Adaptational Skill, this film has Moses speak to Pharaoh himself, which is common in adaptations of Exodus.

Dark Reprise: During the "The Plagues" sequence, we get a more bitter, anger-filled version of "All I Ever Wanted" from both Moses and Rameses. Immediately following "The Plagues," the score mournfully reprises "All I Ever Wanted" as Moses walks through the now-damaged palace to once more attempt to reason with Rameses.

Nice Job Breaking It, Herod: The film shows this scenario through an Egyptian-hieroglyphic animation dream sequence, followed by a final confrontation between the Prince Moses and Seti I, his adoptive father: "Sometimes," Seti says, with a look approaching actual regret, "sacrifices must be made...." Then he tries to comfort his son with the worst words possible: "They were only slaves..."

Downer Beginning: It's an adaptation of the story of the Exodus, so this is a given; the film's opening has the Egyptians taking the infant children of the Hebrew slaves to be slaughtered, followed by Yocheved having to send the baby Moses down the river and being separated from him forever, with the only upside being that Queen Tuya found him and took a liking to him immediately, ensuring that Moses was saved from the horrific fate that the other Hebrew babies were dealt.

Memory-Restoring Melody: As the Egyptian soldiers carry out a mass killing of Hebrew children, baby Moses is taken by his mother to the river bank and sent adrift in a basket in hope of a better life. Before his mother lets go of him, she sings him one last lullaby, which he still remembers after being Happily Adopted and raised as an Egyptian prince. Upon their coincidental meeting, his biological sister Miriam tries to convince him that they're both siblings, but he brushes her off as being delusional. It isn't until she proves it by singing the lullaby that he realizes she's telling the truth, revealing his true heritage and causing him to spiral into a Heroic BSoD. Unlike other examples of this trope, this reveal happens relatively early on in the story.

Last-Second Chance
 The Prince of Egypt / int_fe793a63
comment
Last-Second Chance: Before the final plague is unleashed, Moses pleads with his brother to stop before God releases it. Rameses then states his intent to repeat his father's atrocity by committing another mass murder of Hebrew children, sealing his fate. Once the Hebrews are nearly to the other side of the Red Sea, God takes away the fire tornado that blocked Rameses's army without closing the path through the waters. Technically, Rameses could have turned back rather than pursue the people under the protection of a God that can part a huge body of water and create fire tornadoes. But he didn't.

Pet the Dog: Subverted. Seti clearly cares about his sons. When he finds Moses reeling at the fate of the Hebrew children, Seti hugs him, speaks in the soothing tones of Patrick Stewart...and tells Moses it was justified because they were just slave children. The worst part of this is that Seti genuinely thought this would make Moses feel better.

comment
Shown Their Work: The silhouette of a whale shark is seen behind the watery walls of the Red Sea passage, which does connect to the habitat range of the species. Furthermore, Rameses specifically mentions "white limestone." One guess as to what color the buildings would be in those days (hint: it isn't yellow). During "The Plagues", Rameses says 'then let my heart be hardened.' While many translations translate the description as 'God hardened Pharaoh's heart,' an alternative translation is 'God suffered Pharaoh's heart be hardened,' exactly what happens here. There actually was an important priest during the reign of Rameses II named Huy, with his specific position being High Priest of Ptah. There was also another important figure named Huy during Rameses's reign, in this case, the Viceroy of Kush. The production team behind the film consulted with Jewish, Biblical, Muslim, and Arabic scholars for cultural accuracy.
