throwbackblr: onemerryjester: gooseweasel: deezyville: animatedmoviesandfacts: The production team for The Prince of Egypt conferred with roughly 600 religious experts to make the film as accurate as possible. The production team for Exodus conferred with 3 White guys who’d admittedly never heard of Egypt, but assured the final, mayonnaise slathered product was as accurate as possible. I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that The Prince of Egypt is actually the only Exodus-inspired movie to get approval from leaders of all three of the major religions that share the story- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Well damn “Because DreamWorks was concerned about historical and theological accuracy, Katzenberg decided to call in Bible scholars, Christian, Jewish and Muslim theologians, and Arab American leaders to help his movie be accurate as well as excellent. After previewing the developing DreamWorks’ animated Bible story, all these leaders noted that the studio executives listened and responded to their ideas, and praised the studio for reaching out for comment.” source -- source link
