Before Coffee Head Can't Do Brain

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.

— and perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone

this isnt about like actual nazis & shit but can we normalize seeing something problematic & contacting the op about it. not every fuckup is a deliberate act of malice. sometimes people really dont realize theyre doing/drawing/saying something shitty. all the time i see people making callouts & “warning” everyone about people over one unfortunate drawing or a single poor word choice & its like. yeah its shitty and yeah being ignorant isnt an excuse but it isnt that hard to be like “hey this thing was kinda fucked up” before turning it into a public ordeal. & also like its hard to know you fucked up if nobody points it out

like im not trying to make excuses for people, we all need to put in the effort to learn and grow and do better, but some of yall are just so thirsty for drama & it straight up is not productive At All. like that shit is so performative & doesnt accomplish anything useful 

Finally, a sane celebrity who doesn’t bend the knee to feminist bullshit.

Today on things that I’m weirdly and ridiculously emotional about, does anybody else get the spontaneous urge to cry when they see a really gorgeous piece of Architecture?
