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.

Reviews for The Prince of Egypt
Tells the story of the Exodus for a new generation and does it in spectacular style.
01/01/00
Whether you're a believer or not, The Prince of Egypt is highly entertaining.
01/01/00
It's epic in every sense of the word, from subject, spectacle, sentiment, and, most of all, seriousness.
01/01/00
The drawn and computer-animated imagery is top notch and seamlessly integrated, but the central characters' tawny complexions and the often chiaroscuro lighting sometimes obscure all but the whites of their eyes and their pearl-perfect teeth.
01/01/00
For a cartoon, the movie is overpowering!
01/01/00
Truly spectacular.
01/01/00
The movie has some astonishing visual effects.
01/01/00
Egypt comes stunningly alive, but the prince remains fuzzy.
01/01/00
The film lacks creative exuberance, any side pockets of joy.

Top CriticWho'd have ever thought Biblical plagues and pestilence could be summed up in a four-minute musical montage?

If de Mille had seen this film, he would have gone back to the drawing board!

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.
01/01/00
It's about as successful a conclusion to that task as I can imagine, one which combines tradition and imagination into a powerful animated experience.
01/01/00
Following blindly in the tradition of Disney's animated films of the last decade, The Prince of Egypt is, for no good reason, rendered as a musical.
01/01/00
It is the absolutely stunning visuals that make the movie so compelling!
01/01/00
The story has been so abbreviated and riddled with songs that there's no sense of climax.
01/01/00
An instant classic that redefines the animation genre with a new sophistication.
01/01/00
The Prince of Egypt goes beyond fanciful and magical. It is the first spiritual animated film ever, as deep and resonant as it is soaringly inventive!
