 Mixed thoughts March 10, 2007
J. Wincovitch (Pennsylvania)

The animation in this is beautiful and the music is very good - it reminds me of a Broadway musical in style. What bothers me about it is how it deviates from the Bible account of God's deliverance of his people from Egypt. It also adds much to the Bible account that is not there. For example, Moses is a young man in this whereas he should haave been 80. Aaron did not go with him to Pharoah as the Bible tells us; instead they send zipporah with Moses. The boyhood friendship between Ramses and Moses is completely fabricated - it's not in the Bible at all. I think it would have been so wonderful if they had stuck to the facts. The truth of what really happened is so much more exciting. By the way, my 3-year old will not watch it - she is too upset by the babies being thrown in the river. May be more appropriate for older children!

This is a good movie that gets the attention of young children and can keep it throughout the movie. The best part is that it is based on a biblical story and gets your children to ask questions about God and the Bible.
dance! hieroglyphics dance! November 10, 2006
Jonathan Lapin (Brooklyn, NY USA)
a very pleasant surprise. this was an intelligent retelling of the exodus story, with childrens "sensitivities" taken intoi account. good animation sequences all around, in particular the sequences where the egyptian hieroglyphics come to life. good voice characterizations, especially by ralph fiennes as ramses, and a stronger musical score than weve come to expect in cartoons since the disney renaissance of the early 90s. easily worth a viewing.
The Best Animated Film of All Time! October 9, 2006

Without a doubt, "The Prince of Egypt" is my all-time favorite movie. I absolutely love it. I can watch it over and over again, and I don't think I'd ever get tired of it. The animation is superior, the acting is stunning, and the music is powerful.
I've seen the story of Moses portrayed in several films, but this version has to be the very best of them all. Moses, as everybody knows, is born into a family of Hebrew slaves in ancient Egypt. The pharaoh fears that the Hebrews will become too numerous and rebel against the Egyptians, and so he sends out his soldiers to slaughter every male infant born to the Hebrews. Moses' mother, Yocheved, takes her young son and flees to the Nile River, where she sends him adrift in a special basket. The basket floats all the way to the royal palace, where the pharaoh's wife finds it. She has compassion on Moses when she sees him, and she takes him in and raises him as her own. She already has one son, Rameses, who becomes Moses' big brother. Years later, Moses and Rameses are all grown up, and getting along like very good friends. Moses is perfectly happy living a life of luxury, but then he learns the terrible truth about his childhood, and soon everything is changed forever.
Anyone who is not affected by this movie would have to have a heart of stone. This movie is just so beautiful. And the story it teaches is simply priceless. I recommend this movie to anybody, whether or not they attend Sunday school regularly. Even those who don't believe in Moses, or even in God, may find this movie appealing.
I hope this movie wins a million awards.
