Well-told story that's careful not to offend.

The movie's proudest accomplishment is that it revises our version of Moses toward something more immediate and believable, more humanly knowable.

This is sensational cinema: crowds swarming among pyramids in eye-popping 3-D, camerawork that's distinctly Spielbergian in its fluidity.

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

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

The handsomely animated Prince of Egypt is an amalgam of Hollywood biblical epic, Broadway supermusical and nice Sunday school lesson.

Mar 29, 2016Visually stunning and emotionally powerful, The Prince of Egypt is a stellar animated film that never takes it's audience for granted - and appeals to both the religious and non-religious alike thanks to a magnificent score, brilliant performances and a strong sense of atmosphere.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Apr 05, 2015From DreamWorks comes the animated biblical epic The Prince of Egypt. The film follows the story of Moses; from his struggle to accept the truth of his Hebrew heritage to his confrontation with his adopted brother Rameses when God commands him to lead His people out of bondage. Starring Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, the cast is quite impressive and delivers some very good performances. Additionally, the animation is especially well-done, featuring a crisp, rigid design style that is textured with rich coloring. The musical numbers however, are rather weak and aren't that memorable. Yet, Hans Zimmer's powerful and sweeping score more than makes up for this. A visionary and inspirational film, The Prince of Egypt is an extraordinary first outing for DreamWorks into the realm of traditional animation.Dann M Super Reviewer

Mar 20, 2015Great film, still holds up after all these years. Music is phenomenal, animation is great, and this has one of the best voice acting casts you'll ever hear.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Sep 13, 2012An animated spectacle with a touching story based off of the story of Moses, the Prince of Egypt is beautiful to look at, heartfelt, and features one of the best movie soundtracks I've ever heard. Every song in the film is great. This is one of Dreamworks best films or its best. Very overlooked in my opinion. Overall Rating: 92Bradley J Super Reviewer
The Prince of Egypt Quotes
| Rameses: | Why can't things go back to the way they were? |
| Moses / God: | Because no kingdom should built on the backs of slaves. |
| Tzipporah: | Look. Look at your people, Moses. They are free. |
| Miriam: | Grow, baby brother, and come back someday. Come and deliver us, too. |
| Moses / God: | What do you want with me? |
| Moses / God: | I have seen the oppression of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry. So I have come down to deliver them out of slavery and bring them to a good land; a land flowing with milk and honey. And so onto Pharaoh I shall send you. |
| Moses / God: | Me? Who am I to lead these people? They'll never believe me. They won't even listen. |
| Moses / God: | I shall teach you what to say. *echoes* Let my people go! |
| Moses / God: | But I was their enemy. I was the Prince of Egypt, the son of the man who slaughtered their children. You-You've chosen the wrong messenger. H-How can I even speak to these people? |
| Moses / God: | *with anger* Who made man's power? Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing and the blind? Was it not I? Now go! *soothing* Oh, Moses. I shall be with you when you go to the king of Egypt, but Pharaoh will not listen. So I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders. Take the staff in your hand Moses. With it, you shall do my wonders. I shall be with you, Moses. Moses. Moses. |
