* ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'': The [[Villain Song]] by the two priests (''Playing with the big boys now...'') didn't seem that amazing to me, it was more calling on their gods and doing some sleight of hand than anything particularly impressive happening. It might have just been that it was hard to make [[Evil Is Cool|coolness]] contrast, given [[Crowning Music of Awesome|the soundtrack]]. Then I realized: This is a [[The Bible|Bible]] story. These are priests calling on their gods in the face of a prophet. ''Of course'' it feels fake. --
** The blinding light in the "Playing With the Big Boys" sequence was the magicians way of switching their staffs with snakes.
** [[User:Red Wren|Back.]] In "When You Believe", the phrase, ''"We were moving mountains long before we knew we could"'' is sung. What were the Hebrews doing at the beginning of the movie? Building the pyramids.
Line 9:
*** A lot of what came ''after'' that sequence (yes, it was probably the second time after all the blasphemous revelry and outright revolt had been put down with extreme prejudice) would have been rather depressing to portray as well. Things did end well for Israel on the whole, but only after all the first generation's constant complainers died out, leaving their children to claim their promised inheritance. Getting to that [[Esoteric Happy Ending]] would have required at least another feature-length movie, so one can hardly blame the writers for having pared things down to just that one last snapshot from the long journey ahead of them before rolling the credits.
