The story is inherently nasty and hypocritical in the way it spends a long time whipping up righteous outrage over the Pharaoh's mass murder of Hebrew children and then climaxes with the Hebrews triumphing by having God mass murder the Egyptian children. Moses doesn't seem to be in control of much at all, being reduced to looking glum as God creates chaos around him. Otherwise the movie feels humourless and sermon-like, but has some good art direction apart from some rather uninteresting character designs and OK songs.

I liked the fact that they put slavery in a kid's movie, and that they didn't romanticized the place and time like in other animated films

One of my favorites movies when I was a little girl, and still one of my favorites animated movies now that I'm in my twenties :).

Adult story, heavy for the kids. But was impressed by the movie and kids enjoyed.........and had a LOT of questions afterwards

With The Prince of Egypt, Dreamworks made a 2D animated feature that is easily on par with Disney's best, certainly in terms of animation, managing CG assist a lot better than most films trying to do so in this era (or even later). Moses' story is made personal and psychologically consistent without sacrificing the harsh plot points of Exodus, taking us through his young adulthood as Ramses' brother through his release of the Hebrews (but not the journey to the promised land). It has several memorable songs and a pretty spectacular voice cast - you have to pass the 10th name mark on IMDB before you can't recognize a name on there. Val Kilmer is both Moses and God, Ralph Fiennes is Ramses, and the smaller parts are populated by the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin and Martin Short. Looks great, sounds great, adult yet not lacking in action... Should be on your Easter film list.

Very heavy religious themes (obviously) but speaking as someone who's not religious/spiritual at all, I still enjoyed this film a whole lot. Good story, lovely animation and music. Definitely worth watching.
