Prince of Egypt Pencil tests

[Rinesmyth]

This here should be enough to show the beauty of hand drawn animation.

[seanstark]

i can definitely see the differences in design for some of the characters, huy and hotep were designed more animal-like, and jethro had a more disney-like design

[arbitrarylib]

I lovr the change to Moses. He looked like a diva before and the final version looks more unassuming.

[misterrkalebhimself]

3:07-3:53 I know James Baxter was heavily involved with this scene especially (I'm pretty sure those are his sketches), and it SHOWS.

[twylaeisenhauer]

While else thinks 2d animation should come back?

[diegoruiz]

Dude the tests of Moses toward the end have my jaw on the floor

[tashaswan]

2:48 I just keep rewatching and rewatching this animation test, it's so beautiful and so fluidly animated

[MaryArts]

I knew from the start that it was 2D drawn bur for me the characters always looked so three dimensional when they moved around. Like every line fitted. As if they are rendered, how else can they rotate without a flaw of consistency. never saw a 2D so fluent before.

[AlienFaun]

The early design of Moses is unbelievable compare to the final. I assume it's to draw quickly with few less details

[alphadoggrito]

As an aspiring animator and a huge fan of Prince of Egypt, I’m so glad this got recommended to me. I’m so blown away by these hand-drawn animations.

[LetMeExplainStudios]

Oh, you know.Just many decade's worth of experience and expertise that allows me the privilege to have my current job. No biggies. No complete and utter awe and respect.

[theriveroffaith]

When you get too carried away with flip books that you make an entire classic movie for generations to come.

[Xxsorafan]

Animation should make a comeback. Please Disney animate again. No one cares how realistic you can make a lion

[thesaltiestspoon]

You can definitely tell when it was James Baxter animating

[toffeefeathers]

When the 2d is so good it almost looks cgi

[littleshyghost]

The animation is so beautiful, no wonder this was my favorite movie. It is so smooth and all done by hand! Our generation has so much at our finger tips yet this is skill that shows with time and effort

[bullsquid]

0:52 That one literally made me tear up. There's just so much heart in these animations. What a beautiful thing.

[lumen_anima]

Back in those days when children's movies were not only beautiful pieces of artworks, but had real content which left even the grown-ups speechless. I miss those days.

[Catpuff]

When i watch these pencil tests I'm reminded that animators like this are basically wizards the way they turn lines into life.

[chenstormstout]

The animation at the end where Seti points his rod, I’m always amazed at how they drew it so it looked like there was a moving camera.
