I’m not sure I agree that the prince of Egypt never casts doubt on the existence of other gods,
Whenever the pharo’s magicians perform their own attempted miracles like conjuring snakes it’s alway’s done in shadow or behind a curtain, thus making it entirely plausible they’re just doing magic tricks, slight of hand and whatnot.
This is not a religious discussion simply a movie analyst’s lol.
this is true, and it's a point I kind of dislike about the movie, but what I've meant to say is that the movie never outright says that the Egyptian g-ds aren't real. (and if I did say "the movie never casts doubt" then my bad oopsie uwu)
this is 100% a display of "the Egyptian g-ds are doing nothing and the magicians are using tricks", but at no point does a character say "your g-ds are false! they're not doing anything! your magicians are a scam!" the most obvious interpretation is that the Egyptian g-ds are false, sure, but there's still room for other interpretations, such as:
the Egyptian g-ds can't perform the same type of miracles, and thus the magicians have to rely on tricks.
the magicians don't actually believe in the g-ds they worship and are abusing the role they're in.
the magicians assume they have to perform the same miracles because they've never seen their g-ds perform these types of miracles, so they're lacking faith (not tfhe same as having no faith).
meta argument: if the movie showed the magicians perform real miracles, that would mean that the Egyptian g-ds were 100% real in the story, and thus they're taking a stance. having it up for interpretation is much safer for a faithful interpretation of the story.
these are all potential interpretations that don't outright deny the existence of the Egyptian g-ds in the movie, but explain it as the them either not being as powerful or their followers lacking the same amount of faith the Hebrews have in their g-d.
and there's another g-d mentioned in the movie, I'm not sure from what religion, but it was the religion Moses's wife believed in, they've mentioned a g-d in their song or smth. that god's existence was never put into question and barely even mentioned. (she wasn't a Hebrew was she? I can't remember her outside of the movie)
and last thing, the g-d of the Hebrews was always presented AS the g-d of the Hebrews, and never just g-d, that's how he presented himself to Moses as well.
tldr: yeah, the movie isn't doing that much to present the Egyptian g-ds as real, but it's not outright dismissing them either, there's room for interpretation for both sides of the argument, and I believe that's intentional. again this is just looking at the movie and not the original story.

Hey, don't cry. A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design, ok?

I've seen these five films sweep COUNTLESS themed polls, so guess what?
No "other" option. You have to pick one. Good luck.

The Prince of Egypt (1998) is a classic that all generations and future generations should enjoy and experience but one thing that future generations will never know is how funny the line “Behold, the power of God” was considering it came out in the exact same era there was a weird ad campaign for cheese with the slogan “Behold the power of cheese.” I was 11 when the movie came out and that’s the exact same time “cheese” is peak humor so I had a hard time keeping it together at that moment

Moses, hear what I say. I have been a slave all my life. And God has never answered my prayers until now. God saved you from the river, He saved you in all your wanderings, and even now, He saves you from the wrath of Pharaoh. God will not abandon you. So don’t you abandon us.
