    Bit over-serious really (which is a problem with the subject matter) and kind of forgettable, but there are some good songs in it (which I couldn't remember from seeing it at the cinema all those years ago)

    Nothing great, but not too shabby

    Yes! It's great to see any film based on events recorded in the Bible (and Torah), and this is an epic and favourite tale of mine.

    While it is not completely accurate in some ways, (including the involvement of Moses' brother Aaron), and excercises some artistic license, I think it is fairly true to the spirit of the events.

    Sadly this lacks the typical formula that makes an animation popular; including wacky voices and loony animals.

    1998 was a major year for the newly formed Dreamworks SKG. It was the year they topped the box office with Saving Private Ryan, but perhaps more importantly it was the year that its animation division released its first two feature length releases: Antz and The Prince of Egypt. The former film was a clear shot across the bow in the direction of Pixar and is mostly remembered as “that other movie from 1998 about talking bugs” while the later…

    Beautifully textured hand-drawn animation in service of a rendering of the story of Moses that tries so hard to avoid offending or provoking in any way that it winds up inert and damn-near abstract. DeMille's 'The Ten Commandments' was a lot more vulgar and bombastic and also a lot more fun. The generally terrible songs don't help matters, and having Val Kilmer as the voice of the Almighty can't be good for anybody's faith in an ordered universe.

    The Prince of Egypt marks Dreamworks' second film from their animation company and the second in a row to be a big winner for its ambition, scope, and maturity. Coming off of Antz, one of the few animated films out there, I believe, would benefit adults more than children with its very pro-individualist morals. Dreamworks did a fine job of trading in silly puns for strong morals, delivered in a familiar, yet favorable way.

    Now comes The Prince of Egypt,…

    So this film was ridiculously gorgeous. Loved every minute (even the ones I sobbed right through).

    Una de mis películas favoritas de la infancia. Un buen guión con una bonita animación. Musical, aunque no exagerado. Las escenas pro de esta película son, sin duda alguna, las plagas y cuando Moisés abre el Mar Rojo.

    Fue divertido ver a mi madre pensando que en realidad la película era una parodia de la historia bíblica que se burlaba del éxodo. Lo demás, un soberano coñazo.

    I may be in the minority here, but I love this interpretation of the great story of Moses.

    I remember watching this movie endlessly as a kid. After seeing all the animation again, I don't need to wonder why. Visually, this is a pretty colorful and very well animated film, by my standards, and since it is a bible story, there isn't really much else I can say about it.

    It is a bible story though, as well as a shoehorned musical, I cant give it more than a 7/10. As a kid, who cared only about the emotives of the characters' voices and the pretty pictures on-screen, This worked. But nowadays it was just too preachy, as expected of a christian film.

    AKA The Ten Commandments, but way better. The relationship between Rameses and Moses really drives this film, not to mention the great animation and music. Well done, Dreamworks!

    See Cecil B. DeMille! 3 hours are not required to tell this story! And with much stronger family drama. It reminds you why the term Biblical is applied to stories of such grandeur and human drama. It's Aristotelian drama before Aristotle. The integration of computer imagery and camera moves is a little mechanical and clunky at times but other parts for it are extremely beautiful.
