Ellen Page’s early filmography looks like it was Photoshopped for an Arrested Development gag.
wait I looked it up and “ghost cat” and “the cat that came back” are literally the same movie that was released under two different names and apparently they just tried to market it separately as a thriller and as a heartwarming family film???
they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage
In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and Christians
Also completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli.
You guys are fucking exhausting.
The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*
Tumblr: “But why are there white people???????”
Tumblr: Jews? What are those?
Also like, if you’re a kid watching this movie you don’t think “Rameses has dark skin, but he’s voiced by Ralph Fiennes who is a white guy.” you think “Huh, in Ancient Egypt people had dark skin.”
Let’s not forget that these are block-buster names (esp. in the late 90s) so people with kids would go “Oh hey, Val Kilmer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Ralph Fiennes, Steve Martin and Michelle Pfieffer are in a film? I’ll take my kids to see that as I’ll enjoy the voice acting of these super famous names.”
