Or Pharoahs, a concept from the Disney film Prince of Egypt.
I had huge hopes for Mufasa and it was extremely mediocre. Below Wish and Moana 2 IMO. The bones of the plot were good, but the directing was bad. Too much crammed into too little runtime.
The music in recent Disney movies hasn’t been great, with the exception of Encanto. I just watched Mulan again and holy crap what a good movie. (Although it’s not Disney, I also watched Prince of Egypt again and that’s better than any movie Disney has made in a decade.)
You won’t be disappointed it’s a wonderful show. You can also check out the movie “The Prince of Egypt” if you want more. I love it during Christmas.
Are you thinking of Dreamworks' Prince of Egypt?

I'm surprised to hear Prince of Egypt described as a flop - https://m.the-numbers.com/movie/Prince-of-Egypt-The suggests it made $140M profit from a $60M stake. I could cope with making a flop like that!
So "Shrek" as "the Gulag" is real?
> "It was known as the Gulag,” one animator told author Nicole Laporte. “If you failed on ‘Prince of Egypt’ [a DreamWorks movie that later flopped], you were sent to the dungeons to work on ‘Shrek.’ ”
