Reviews for The Prince of Egypt
This animated Bible story raises the level of film artistry to new heights!

Top CriticThe Prince of Egypt may not rank as one of the great wonders of the world, but it sure ain't no pyramid scheme either.

When Moshe encounters the burning bush and confronts a God who calls Himself I Am That I Am...it is almost as if the scene compels the audience to remove their shoes for holy ground is underfoot

I 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.

The angular animation and muted colour palette gives the film a look more redolent of classic European cartoons than their homelier American counterparts.

Turns out to be another handsome, formulaic changing of the palace guard.

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

This is a movie that takes us to places we've never seen before. Literally, it's the ultimate proof that animation can do anything it wants.

The story has been so abbreviated and riddled with songs that there's no sense of climax.
01/01/00
The first time an exciting, full-length animation utilizing both computer techniques and traditional procedures gloriously transcends the boundary between youthful fare and adult entertainment.

Don't expect dancing camels and singing sphinxes.
06/22/04
Egypt comes stunningly alive, but the prince remains fuzzy.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt could've worked with well-thought out characters, but limps along with the mostly flat and unmemorable ones that populate the picture.
04/02/05
A genuinely great work of art that is also an inspiring and theologically significant narrative.
