Too much of everything

Excellent but underrated film

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The Prince of Egypt was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and my opinion, one of the top three Dreamworks movies. It tells the story of Moses in it's own beautiful artstyle and storyline depicted of his time before he was called to deliver the Hebrew People from the Egyptians. The music and songs were always intense and I still enjoyed it even when I grew up. The beauty and intense emotion delivered by these 2-D characters brings about a magic that any and all ages can enjoy. As said in the description above, you don't have to be a Christian or religious at all to enjoy this movie. The Prince of Egypt has some of the most powerful artwork and depictions of family and friends including what it means to be an ordinary man who with the help of God can do extraordinary things. The Prince of Egypt is not a perfect film and like any film telling a biblical story or anything religious at all, it never will be. But it is still an enjoyable experience that I plan to share with my children for years to come and show them just what Dreamworks was capable of back then.

A common complaint I see is how many differences there are between this movie and the story in the bible. While I do not refute this, I don't think these differences should be held against the film. I was 6 when The Prince of Egypt came out and I remember watching it with my family. This movie has become a pillar in my faith. A source of faith when I am lacking and a dose of hope when I feel none. Game of Thrones is a tv series based on a book. As graphic as it is, it is nothing compared to the violence in the books. If Game of Thrones were made into a tv series, many things would have to be left out or altered. Still, it is an amazing, highly ranked series. My point on being tangent here, is that if you discredit this film because it is different from the bible, you are missing out on a great film. The movie is adapted for children but still conveys an unfathomable message of faith and hope even when there seems to be none. If you are looking for a more realistic version of the story, watch The Ten Commandments. But I will leave you with this; this movie came out when I was six. I am now twenty five and as a (potentially biased) Christian, I have watched this movie countless times and I never tire of its message and feeling of hope, faith and inspiration.

Finally a religious depiction that's not Hollywood biased! Great movie for all ages!

Wow. Just... wow! How did DreamWorks do such a natural phenomenon?!? I have read the Bible story many times, but never before have I seen a Bible story be portrayed and making the characters look this good! Awesome and handsome animation from our good old' buddies who used to work at Walt Disney Feature Animation and Amblimation. And even Simon Wells returns from Amblimation to direct this extravagance well-prepared from DreamWorks, brilliant as the history of the Bible, served with historical precision! No sugar included! DreamWorks is still a super-animation massive god studio. I think they look much better traditionally animated. And, like many future DreamWorks films, features the voices of some of Hollywood's greatest acting talents, like Val Kilmer, actor for Batman (Batman Forever), Ralph Fiennes, actor for Amon Goeth (Schindler's List), Michelle Pfeiffer, actress of Catwoman (Batman Returns), Sandra Bullock, actress who voiced Scarlett Overkill (Minions), Jeff Goldblum, actor for Seth Brundle (The Fly), Dr. Ian Crawford, (Jurassic Park), Danny Glover, actor for President Wilson (2012), Freakin' Patrick Stewart, actor for King Richard (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek Franchise), and Steve Martin, and Martin Short, two of the Three Amigos, and actors from The Muppet Movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Fantasia 2000, We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story, (also done by Amblimation) and The Pebble and the Penguin! The plot is simply, the story of the Exodus, with historical accurate details. And no sugarcoating. No sugar included. The Plagues, I really like seeing. This animation is incredible! It's incredible! Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! And I still think this animated phenomena masterpiece deserved the $218,600,000 it got. Well done, good and faithful servants at DreamWorks!
