Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The handsomely animated Prince of Egypt is an amalgam of Hollywood biblical epic, Broadway supermusical and nice Sunday school lesson.

As epic, emotionally satisfying spectacle, it's way up there with the very best in mainstream animation.

The blend of animation techniques somehow demonstrates mastery modestly, while the special effects are nothing short of magnificent.

fresh:
This is sensational cinema: crowds swarming among pyramids in eye-popping 3-D, camerawork that's distinctly Spielbergian in its fluidity.

The movie's proudest accomplishment is that it revises our version of Moses toward something more immediate and believable, more humanly knowable.
