Ariella introduces Emma to Torah studies in this episode’s dive into academy award-winning animated feature The Prince of Egypt and the many-times-translated Book of Exodus that inspired it. Spoiler alert: it’s good! Join them as they talk about animation as a medium, big frogs, how brutal the story is while staying PG, and why Hollywood needed to make Moses hot.
Content warnings for The Book of Exodus and The Prince of Egypt include: slavery, antisemitism, infanticide, deaths of children, murder, discussion of religion, and realizing your whole life has been a lie.
