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.”
I love that this shows both sides, how society is ingrained to see women as baby-makers and men as walking wallets who’s only worth is if they make good cash. Both are equally demeaning and limiting in different ways.
When I was in 8th grade a friend of mine and I were fucking around during our study period and he accidentally stabbed me in the arm with a pencil and the pencil was partially stuck in my arm but I was really shy in social situations so I just raised my hand and waited for the teacher to notice which took about five minutes so when he finally asked me what I needed I said “TJ accidentally stabbed me with a pencil a few minutes ago and now it’s hanging out of my arm, can I go see the nurse?”. He freaked out and yelled “OH MY GOD SEBASTIAN WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME RIGHT AWAY?” And I said right back “please don’t yell at me, I have a pencil in my arm, if anyone is yelling it should be me” and that sums up my attitude and personality fairly well tbh
AND CALVIN IS WITH THE GIRL THAT HATED HIM ASFHAGS
im crying a lil bit
I need this in my tumblr forever.
is anyone gonna talk about how his kids name is bacon???
HE’S WITH SUZIE THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD OTP
who names their kid bacon
Calvin and Hobbes were Reformation-era philosophers, as was Frances Bacon. I’m better his daughter’s name is actually Frances, but he calls her by the appropriate last name of the philosopher, just as Calvin and Hobbes are last names.
is no one gonna talk about how the girls afraid of Donald Trump in her closet
I think Trump being the boogeyman makes perfect sense…
There is literally nothing about this post that I don’t love.
