As epic, emotionally satisfying spectacle, it's way up there with the very best in mainstream animation.

Reviews for The Prince of Egypt
The blend of animation techniques somehow demonstrates mastery modestly, while the special effects are nothing short of magnificent.

Top Criticthe people at DreamWorks put their brushes to the film with the spirit Moses put his staff in the mighty Nile, lighting it up with the eerie color of bloodshed.

Disfrutable para los públicos de todas las edades, además de ser un buen motivo para creer nuevamente en los milagros

The Prince of Egypt may not rank as one of the great wonders of the world, but it sure ain't no pyramid scheme either.
01/01/00
This movie is worth a trip to the local multiplex by viewers of all ages, races, and religious persuasions.

Top CriticWho'd have ever thought Biblical plagues and pestilence could be summed up in a four-minute musical montage?
01/01/00
The animation in this retelling of the story of Moses is rich and vivid. You almost can taste the sand.
01/01/00
The story has been so abbreviated and riddled with songs that there's no sense of climax.
01/01/00
A disappointing and uninspiring animated feature.
08/21/02
It's sophisticated, both intellectually and morally!

Top CriticI wish DreamWorks had been more truly daring instead of merely competitive and worked a little longer at evolving a drawing style that departed more radically from the Disney house style than this film does.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis is truly a landmark in animated entertainment.
01/01/00
A visually breathtaking film!
01/01/00
Top CriticThe film lacks creative exuberance, any side pockets of joy.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's epic in every sense of the word, from subject, spectacle, sentiment, and, most of all, seriousness.
01/01/00
Adroitly conceived and sumptuously illustrated!
01/01/00
If de Mille had seen this film, he would have gone back to the drawing board!
01/01/00
Top CriticThis is sensational cinema: crowds swarming among pyramids in eye-popping 3-D, camerawork that's distinctly Spielbergian in its fluidity.
03/19/08
Don't expect dancing camels and singing sphinxes.
