(listen with headphones if possible!)

22 YEARS AGO ON DECEMBER 18, 1998 - DREAMWORKS ANIMATION RELEASED “THE PRINCE OF EGYPT”

Because DreamWorks was concerned about theological accuracy, they decided to call in Biblical scholars, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim theologians, and Arab American leaders to help the film be more accurate and faithful to the original story. After previewing the developing film, all these leaders noted that the studio executives listened and responded to their ideas, and praised the studio for reaching out for comment from outside sources.

The animation team for The Prince of Egypt included 350 artists from 34 different nations. Careful consideration was given to depicting the ethnicities of the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, and Nubians properly.

Both character design and art direction worked to set a definite distinction between the symmetrical, more angular look of the Egyptians versus the more organic, natural look of the Hebrews and their related environments. The backgrounds department, headed by supervisors Paul Lasaine and Ron Lukas, oversaw a team of artists who were responsible for painting the sets/backdrops from the layouts. Within the film, approximately 934 hand-painted backgrounds were created.

EVERYTHING IS TO HUGE.

Everything. Is. So. Huge.

Do your supermarkets assume all shopping is done for a family of six? Why is everything so huge??

There are basically no chip flavours. There are a couple (sea salt, cool ranch, a couple more) and then just ten different kinds of chilli/spicy/hot flavour, most claiming to be spicier than the others. Spicy chips are a weird fringe novelty in Australia but here they seem like the main thing.

There may be no chip flavours but there is a hell of a lot of jerky. And chewing gum. Those two things have whole sections, not just a thin sliver of shelf like in Australia. So many chewing gum brands.

There are donuts and ice cream and cakes EVERYWHERE. Supermarket, more like cake/ice cream shop.

The money?? All looks the same??? And it feels like paper???? I mean I know you guys call it ‘paper money’ but I kind of assumed that was an exaggeration? It’s hard to believe it’s actually linen.

The bulk savings are for things WAY in bulk. These aren’t your Aussie “two little packets of chips for one” deals. There are THREE LITRE SOFT DRINKS here, and the bulk deal is for 3 of them. Who needs 9L of soft drink at once? Is this sort of thing for parties? 

Alcohol is cheap; by which I mean alcohol is normally priced for places that aren’t Australia. Our alcohol is absurdly taxed.

Everything is packaged so weirdly. I saw transparent bags of neatly stacked corn cobs. I saw tins of “mixed beans”, HUGE tins of mixed beans.

Snapple and Squirt are real drinks.

There is a brand of hair product called “Aussie” with a kangaroo logo. I have never seen it in Australia.
