The Exodus story is arguably one of the most well-known stories from Hebrew Bible and has spawned dozens of adaptations through films and books. The Prince of Egypt, though, stands out among its peers because of its choice to use animation to help bring the story to life and by playing into the more fantastical parts of the biblical story by incorporating musical breaks. The Prince of Egypt will go down in history as a cinematic biblical epic that stays true to the core elements of the original…

Odysseus versus (Shrek the Movie Character) The Odyssey is a historical book, written by Homer, about a hero who was lost and he had to face many obstacles to make it back home. Shrek is an older movie, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, which is about an Ogre who has to rescue a princess to get his swamp back.

The book ‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell, based on the Russian revolution, and the DreamWorks film ‘Antz’ demonstrate these techniques, as methods of maintaining…

Trolls, the new animated movie about the little dolls with the long, neon-hued hair, is the kind of movie that invites the mind to wander.This is to say it’s not a good movie, but it’s also not a bad movie. It’s reasonably entertaining, with some good musical numbers and at least one goofily endearing performance.But it’s also just a little bit all over the place, with a story that often seems like a fairy-tale greatest hits album — with all the hits covered by trolls. It’s a story assembled by…

The Dreamworks film Shrek follows characters through a very strange fairy tale. Through the crazy tale the many characters display many complex issues of psychology such as personality disorders and many downfalls in society. One of the main problems within the movie is discrimination towards the ogres and other fairy tale creatures. Right off the bat a mob comes to Shrek’s swamp looking to kill him. They personally seek him out in his place of residency just because of the fact he is an ogre.…

The movies Sweet Home Alabama and Just Like Heaven have further in common than just the leading lady, Reese Witherspoon. These two movies represent the romantic ideals of society in appropriately similar ways. Both movies teach valuable lessons in telling how Hollywood chooses to portray what the concept of love is and how it develops in romantic films. In Sweet Home Alabama the first concept of love is the chemistry between the two characters. Right off the bat, the chemistry between the two…

But I groaned as I watched Brave, sleeping through the “beary” outlandish mother-daughter relationship and the decidedly dull plot. Had Pixar lost its mojo; did I mention heresy? Yet Monsters University confirmed my assumption, and I worried for the future of animated films— could no studio bundle themes and storytelling into winning, cohesive films? Then Frozen hit cinemas, with its all-engulfing popularity perplexing me:…

One of the most well known Biblical stories, the Parting of the Sea is a tale that has been interpreted in many different ways. As Collins states, this story is the “narrative climax” of the story of the exodus. Although many details are changed in each interpretation, Moses’s portrayal has the largest impact on the story and can make two interpretations drastically different. Roger Young’s “Moses” portrays Moses as a run-of-the-mill Hebrew who achieves extraordinary things through God. Cecil B.…
