The Prince of Egypt

This is humanity's greatest achievement. The Disney Renaissance Era and Studio Ghibli WISH they could be this good.

"The Prince of Egypt" is a very solid early entry for DreamWorks Animation. I had not seen this movie yet and I know I have spent most of my life hearing good things about it. I think it holds up well as a 2D animated film, with great animation and entertaining storytelling. What I also like about this movie is that it is a biblical story, but it really feels like there is something for all audiences, regardless of faith or religious background. I think the songs are decent, but I will say I do find soundtracks in other animated films more memorable than this one. I also think this movie will likely mean more to others than myself, which is nothing more than a personal bias given my background. Overall, it is a good film with a character-driven story and strong themes for all ages and audiences.

Indescribable, no words, the movie is absolutely captivating.

I am religious and seeing this it is just a great film the music,animation,story,and ending was just perfect and you can watch this movie as a family and I am sure they will love it

The Prince of Egypt has became one of my favorite movies ever I.think it’s better than Shrek even. The animation, the music The cinematography is just so beautiful.

Very fun movie to watch!

quite possibly the most underrated movie of all time. it does such a great job telling this beautiful story. the songs are amazing, the animation is amazing, the characters all feel so realistic. overall, and absolute master piece

One of the (if not THE) - Most visually arresting animated film(s) ever created - Best Biblical/religious film(s) ever created - Best soundtracks/scores in any film(s) ever created - Meaningful pieces of art ever created That's a pretty impressive list for an animated family film. The subject matter is heavy and its message matters. The Prince of Egypt has been one of my top 3 favorite movies since it came out. Rare that a movie can have you reflect on your life so deeply, even moreso an animated family film. The animation is exquisite.....EXQUISITE. So many different scenes should be noted as hallmarks of animation: The opening Deliver Us slave sequence, the burning bush, the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, etc. This was during the short-lived era of mixing hand drawn animation with CGI, when CGI helped enhance the animation. This was before CGI became the standard, which remains today unfortunately. The difference is obvious. Who knew animation was to peak with this movie and the 90s Disney renaissance films, and basically go downhill from then on? 30 years (in 3 years from this review) and no animation has come close to the sheer BEAUTY of the Prince of Egypt. The soundtrack is a masterclass in music accompaniment to a film. Songs and music mixed with the visuals that can induce tears, joy or fear. The river lullaby, When You Believe, and my favorite Through Heaven's Eyes, are not just catchy and memorable, but they are powerful and full of meaning. Meaning that can be applicable to your own life when you are at your most hopeful/triumphant or when you are in your darkest corners. Pretty amazing for an animated family film. Sure there are a couple duds (in comparison to the aforementioned), but overall the soundtrack is unique and inspired, and the score is amazing. Don't expect cheeky fun tunes like Under the Sea or Be Our Guest.... you're not going to be laughing at cheering, you're going to be listening, processing and feeling,... and maybe even crying. Very few films can bring me, an adult man, retired USMC, bodybuilder, Metallica and Pantera fan, covered in tattoos, to tears. Even fewer animated ones. I can't help but get choked up during Dumbo with the mom-in-the-cage song, but usually I'm pretty stoic. This movie makes me look at my own life and want to be of pure soul, chivalrous, and gives me permission to believe in something greater than myself, the bigger picture. Pretty powerful for an animated family film. You don't have to be religious to enjoy or even be profoundly moved by this movie as other commenters have noted. If you haven't seen it yet, I envy you for what you are about to experience. Even after seeing it hundreds of times, it still evokes the same emotions from me even though I know exactly what is coming. I hope the animators, directors and voice actors truly understand what they have given the world and what it means to people. The audience reviews don't lie. This is one movie that truly deserves a 100% rating. It is flawless.

Not great. The animation is beautiful but the movie sexualised women which is so wrong in the context of the bible.

The Prince of Egypt is beautifully animated and captivatingly retells the story of Moses as a heartwarming family film with a remarkable soundtrack. Personally, it’s one of my favorite DreamWorks animated films. Grading: A+
