The opening 7-minute sequence of The Prince of Egypt doesn't just set up the story — it plays out Moses's entire hero's journey in miniature. Baby Moses is carried down the Nile by forces outside his control, protected through impossible circumstances, and moves toward something he can't yet understand. This microcosm exactly mirrors his reluctant acceptance of God's mission later in the film, foreshadowing the entire arc before the audience even knows the character.
