About this episode

The episode explores the themes and characters of the animated film The Prince of Egypt.

Things are getting Biblical on Vintage Cinema Rewind. And this week, they’re back with their Deep Dive on DreamWorks Entertainment’s dustiest vehicle, The Prince of Egypt. After years of dwelling in obscurity among his wife’s tribe as a simple shepherd, Blake stumbles across a burning bush. He’s then given a tall order: to return home and free his people. But this is hardly a victorious homecoming. For in his absence, Michael has become an iron-fisted pharaoh and proclaims that he will not let his people go. What follows is a battle of wills between two brothers chafing against the weight of their own legacies. Can they see eye-to-eye? Or will they instead demand an eye-for-an-eye?
