The Prince of Egypt

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.

DreamWorks Animation tried to go toe-to-toe with Disney’s 2D 1990s renaissance with The Prince of Egypt, and it wound up being one of the studio’s best films.

“Prince of Egypt” is a failure in major areas, but is breathtaking in others. It is a good start for DreamWorks, but they’ll have to try harder to eclipse the Mouse House.

A genuine masterpiece that gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. [Full review in Spanish]

The Prince of Egypt may have beautiful animation and music but in retelling the story of the Exodus, they get part of it wrong.
