TV & Film Anyone else absolutely love Prince of Egypt?

Absolutely! It’s always been one of my favorites and I am not religious either, I think that is part of the magic of the movie. It’s a biblical story that anyone can digest and enjoy, its animated really well and the scores and songs are amazing.
It’s also pretty dark as animated movies go and I’m always down for that shit.

Well, the original story itself is dark. I don't even think a lot of Jews and Christians realize it. Christians especially since so many get hung up on dark themes in media. I just look at them like "umm...have you read the Bible?". I'm a Christian myself and certainly do not fear the dark and macabre. The Gothic subculture, for example, has roots in old Catholic "Memento Mori" aesthetics.

An underrated masterpiece for sure.
