*PRINCE OF EGYPT* Might Be The BEST Animated Movie EVER (Commentary & Reaction) (1k sub special!)

here's my reaction for the prince of egypt (1998)! i filmed a movie commentary to one of my FAVORITE FILMS OF ALL TIME...as my celebration special for reaching 1,000 subscribers. as in "top 4 on letterboxd" favorites of all time. as you can tell this is far from my first time watching this movie. i grew up with this dreamworks musical masterpiece and it means so much me, from the spectacular songs like "deliver us," "river lullaby," "the plagues," oscar-winning "when you believe," and many more, the other awesome scenes like the bushing bush and ending with the parting of the red sea, the sensational animation, fantastic score/soundtrack by hans zimmer and stephen schwartz, and the amazing vocal performances by actors like ralph fiennes as rameses and val kilmer as moses. wanna see me pretentiously gush about this movie for almost an hour to the point that it also serves as a review and analysis? here ya go. it's my favorite religious film, it's my favorite dreamworks film, and it might just be my favorite animated and *film in general*...at least subjectively. if you enjoy this movie commentary, please, comment, + subscribe for more commentary, reviews, and video essays on animated films! ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: time stamps*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ • 0:00 intro • 1:28 the prince of egypt commentary & reaction • 52:47 outro/final thoughts ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: social media*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ • twitter:   / livmendel   • instagram:   / livmendel   • letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/livmendel ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: music*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ • background music: "chill day" by lakey inspired https://open.spotify.com/artist/3zDGj... • outro: "the prince of egypt-lofi-hip-hop mix" by markus sounds    • The Prince Of Egypt-Lofi-Hip-Hop MIX Lulla...   "in many ways, the work of a critic is easy. we risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. we thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. but the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. but there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. the world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. the new needs friends.” - ratatouille
