Is it true that The Prince of Egypt, one of the all-time great animated movies, is getting a live-action remake with a huge cast in 2026? When considering the history of animation, numerous movies could be considered the greatest of all time, such as Toy Story, Studio Ghibli's library with standout films like Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies, and the game-changing Spider-Verse movies that have received significant acclaim.
The Prince of Egypt is often regarded as one of the top films in DreamWorks' impressive lineup, potentially even surpassing the beloved Shrek. First released in 1998, the movie has sparked recent rumors of a live-action remake circulating on social media. But are these rumors based in reality?
Is a Prince of Egypt remake happening?
No, a Prince of Egypt remake isn’t coming out in 2026. In fact, it’s not happening at all.
Despite the excitement over the potential cast, there is no official announcement for a live-action remake of The Prince of Egypt. Don't believe everything you see on TikTok!
The TikToker excitedly discusses their anticipation for a fictional film in a three-minute video, even jokingly warning of consequences if the soundtrack is mishandled. The post was also shared by @tsreeltalk. While the video hasn't gone viral, it is gaining traction on people's For You pages, with many expressing excitement for a film that doesn't actually exist.
"90s fans are ready to make an appearance and impress!" one user exclaimed. "I'm getting chills all over for this movie! No matter what anyone says, Prince of Egypt will always be the best movie," another commented. "Please tell me this is a joke," a third user wrote, to which the original poster responded, "No joke at all! It's confirmed and I'm ready."
These fake announcements always manage to fool people – just like the recent excitement over John Krasinski's fake Die Hard remake and the false news of Andy Serkis reprising his role as Smeagol.

As a fan of The Prince of Egypt, I was excited to hear the rumors of a live-action remake. However, I am disappointed to learn that these rumors are false. I believe that a live-action remake of The Prince of Egypt could be a great way to introduce the film to a new generation of fans.
The original film is a classic, and I think that a live-action remake could do it justice. I am hopeful that one day, a live-action remake of The Prince of Egypt will become a reality.
