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

An all-star cast--including Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Sandra Bulock--leads this full-length, animated musical version of the story of Moses. After being raised as the son of a Pharaoh, Moses learns that he is a Hebrew and must accept his destiny as the leader of his people. Moses' brother Rameses refuses to let the Hebrews go, and brings down the wrath of God upon Egypt.

Reviews for The Prince of Egypt
As epic, emotionally satisfying spectacle, it's way up there with the very best in mainstream animation.
The 400-member-strong Prince of Egypt team (led by directors Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner and Simon Wells and ramrodded by executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg) have created a succession of visual wonders.
Sometimes out-DeMilles DeMille’s 1956 live-action epic, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
If de Mille had seen this film, he would have gone back to the drawing board!
