Val Kilmer as Moses from Prince of Egypt looking up in shock with inset image of Steven Spielberg wearing denim jacket and glasses
Summary The Prince of Egypt songwriter Stephen Schwartz explains Steven Spielberg’s role in the film’s production. Released in 1998, The Prince of Egypt is a DreamWorks animated musical surrounding the story of Egyptian Prince Moses on his journey to become the leader of his people.
I would say two things. The film was always conceived--from the moment Steven Spielberg said this is what we should do--as a brother story. It was Steven who said that he wanted it told as the story of these two young men who grow up together, who love each other, two young men of privilege, and then their destinies take them in the direction where they become antagonists; ‘can their love overcome that?’ kind of thing.
Spielberg was still extremely influential in creating The Prince of Egypt, however. This is, of course, due in part to his concocting of the film’s central idea, but also because Spielberg was one of the founders of the now-popular DreamWorks Animation, which formed in 1994. Even with a more laid-back presence in the production of The Prince of Egypt, Spielberg was inherently vital to the studio’s sophomore feature .
