Nostalgia Critic:
In 1956, one of the greatest directors of all time, Cecil B. DeMille, made one of the most famous films of all time, "The Ten Commandments". Actually, it was a remake of his already popular epic from the 1920s. I guess he just wanted to up the epic-ness. And I know I should probably do an "Old vs. New" on these two films, but seeing how they both had the same director, I think that's kind of cheating. The '56 version is, of course, considered a classic, and no major studio would dare try to top it. That is, until Dreamworks came along and tried to tell the same story as an animated musical.

Nostalgia Critic:
Interesting choice... When you hear "Bible" mixed with "musical" and "Disney-style animation," you automatically think "disaster," but "The Prince of Egypt" was actually a decent remake. It wasn't telling the exact same story; it had different angles, a different scale, and a different spin on the main characters. And, in my opinion, it's a very underrated animated film.
