I lived on the picture Bible growing up because it retold the entire Bible, all 66 books, as a comic book with plot, characters, action, drama. Not to throw shade on Veggie Tales, which I love with a vengeance, but there's so many genuinely amazing stories in the Bible that could be adapted for a much wider adult audience without alienating anyone, religious or no. The fact that adaptations of biblical stories (or really any religious stories for the most part) have been relegated to preachy predictable Bible study filler and kid's fare is a criminal offense. If you have seen it, what did you think of it? Has it aged well for you? I want to discuss more as there is so much to unpack! Thanks for reading my post! If you haven't seen Prince of Egypt yet, please give it a chance. It's the first time I've stepped into a theater since The Invisible Man released in February and I'm so thankful it was worth every minute. The theater experience also really enhanced the film for me as well. I can't believe I never gave this film a chance when I was younger. Overall this is a movie that is going to stick with me for a very long time. The voice acting is for the most part very good as well, with a much more star studded cast than I had anticipated. The animation at first glance gives the film a 'family friendly' vibe until the story progresses and God's wrath on Rameses intensifies. There just aren't films made today like Prince of Egypt.

The combination of incredible animation, powerful music (Deliver Us and The Plagues being the most notable IMO) and a heart breaking story of two brothers who have drifted apart and are driven by their beliefs and experiences, led to one of the most profound film going experiences I've ever had. Though I am not moved by religion in real life, The Prince of Egypt moved me today. As I've grown older (almost 27), my neutral nature towards Religion has remained very steady. I grew up in a very agnostic family where religion was openly discussed and free to believe in but we never attended church services or read biblical stories and tales. I want to preface this by saying that I am in no way a religious person. Today's showing was Prince of Egypt and my goodness. My local cinema has been playing older films until they can open to full capacity later this month. I've been trying to find the right words since I walked out of the movie theater today and I'm still just awe-struck.
