One of my favorite details in The Prince of Egypt

So I noticed this on one of my last viewings of The Prince of Egypt and I absolutely love it.  I wanted to take some screenshots to show you, because this is really cool.

During the “When You Believe” sequence, you see these two Egyptian guards throw down their spears and walk off, seemingly nowhere.

But if you watch the background during the following Red Sea scenes, you see this:

Those two guards actually went with the Hebrews.

You even see them helping out as they try to cross the ocean floor.

And here they are on the other side.

I seriously never noticed them until recently, and I’ve seen this movie countless times.

Not only did these background characters get shown abandoning their role as soldiers, the very ones who probably directly oppressed these people, but the animators continued to place them in the shots during the Red Sea sequence.  Meaning they were meant to be there.  I just think that’s really really freaking cool.

It’s accurate too, Exodus says that some Egyptians followed them and were adopted into the Israelite people.

I’m so glad others noticed this too! Accurate to Exodus and shows that not every soldier outright hated them.
