22 YEARS AGO ON DECEMBER 18, 1998 - DREAMWORKS ANIMATION RELEASED “THE PRINCE OF EGYPT”

Because DreamWorks was concerned about theological accuracy, they decided to call in Biblical scholars, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim theologians, and Arab American leaders to help the film be more accurate and faithful to the original story. After previewing the developing film, all these leaders noted that the studio executives listened and responded to their ideas, and praised the studio for reaching out for comment from outside sources.

The animation team for The Prince of Egypt included 350 artists from 34 different nations. Careful consideration was given to depicting the ethnicities of the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, and Nubians properly.

Both character design and art direction worked to set a definite distinction between the symmetrical, more angular look of the Egyptians versus the more organic, natural look of the Hebrews and their related environments. The backgrounds department, headed by supervisors Paul Lasaine and Ron Lukas, oversaw a team of artists who were responsible for painting the sets/backdrops from the layouts. Within the film, approximately 934 hand-painted backgrounds were created.

It’s been a while since we checked in on how the Renaissance is doing with its ocean mysteries, so here is a marine biology update circa 1550.

Seals come in two forms:

Buff

& Triangular

Walruses are horrifying

But whales are worse

Fish can have human faces

but not always where you’d expect

As for the rest

It’s Been A While Since We Checked In On How The Renaissance Is Doing With Its Ocean Mysteries, So

… it’s probably better left alone.

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

Real talk, Bulbasaur would be the best pet ever if it was real, let me list you some reasons of why:

Sleep Powder when you can’t sleep

Sweet Scent when you are tired or anxious

Vines to reach far things or lift stuff or swing like Spiderman

Razor Leaf to cut things or gardening

Solar Beam would be like a WMD threat to your enemies

Bulbasaur can take care of other animals

Doesn’t need food as long there’s sun, so you don’t worry about him.

Nature control

Rules over other creatures like a real dinosaur

It never dies of hunger and its speed doubles under the sun, so you got a scary plant dinosaur in day time

Won’t flood your home and mess stuff or burn it down, it’s calm and smart.

evolves to a badass beast

He’s too freaking strong

up for hugs

He’s one of most loyal Pokemon ever

He can dance

A Gif Set That I Thought Had To Eventually Be Made Of: Sonic Being Nice. Because For Whatever Reason,

A gif set that I thought had to eventually be made of: Sonic being nice. Because for whatever reason, allot of fans seem to conveniently forget that Sonic isn’t a jerk or asshole, and can even be forgiving or understanding towards his own enemies.(At least as far as Sonic X is concerned.)
