DVD Review: FELICITACIONES
Summary: 5 Stars

Permitame enviarles mis calurosas felicitaciones de llevar al cine y en dibujos animados la vida de Moises, "EL PRINCIPE DE EGIPTO" es una manera de difundir la palabra de Dios y ense?a como la fe en Dios mueve monta?as.
Mi consejos es que sigan haciendo peliculas infantiles basados en capitulos de la Biblia, por ejemplo EL ARCA DE NOE, SANSON, DAVID, etc. hay muchos pasajes muy bellos que pueden ser inspiracion de productores. Favor pongan la pelicula que se escuche en Espa?ol o subtitulada en Espa?ol
Dios bendiga a los productores y actores que participaron en la pelicula.

DVD Review: Best Animated Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

This is probably the best animated movie I have ever seen; even compared to the Disney classics such as Toy Story and Cinderella. It is by far the best movie Dreamworks has ever made. The stunning visual animation along with the beautiful soundtrack make for an amazing movie that follows very closely to the actual Biblical story of Moses.

DVD Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars

Although most 1-star reviewers say this movie isn't for kids, I remember seeing it as a kid and I loved it. I'm not as straight laced about religion as most people but this is enjoyable movie and story for what it is, despite "biblical innacurcies" (really though, who would care that much about those things anyway?). Simply, it's just a good entertaining movie.

Description of The Prince of Egypt

Two brothers, one born of royal blood, one an orphan with a secret past, grow up the best of friends. But the truth will ultimately set them at odds, as one becomes the ruler of the most powerful empire, the other the chosen leader of his people.
Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: PG
Release Date: 10-APR-2007
Media Type: DVD
Nearly every biblical film is ambitious, creating pictures to go with some of the most famous and sacred stories in the Western world. DreamWorks' first animated film was the vision of executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg after his ugly split from Disney, where he had been acknowledged as a key architect in that studio's rebirth (The Little Mermaid, etc.). His first film for the company he helped create was a huge, challenging project without a single toy or merchandising tie-in, the backbone du jour of family entertainment in the 1990s.

Three directors and 16 writers succeed in carrying out much of Katzenberg's vision. The linear story of Moses is crisply told, and the look of the film is stunning; indeed, no animated film has looked so ready to be placed in the Louvre since Fantasia. Here is an Egypt alive with energetic bustle and pristine buildings. Born a slave and set adrift in the river, Moses (voiced by Val Kilmer) is raised as the son of Pharaoh Seti (Patrick Stewart) and is a fitting rival for his stepbrother Rameses (Ralph Fiennes). When he learns of his roots--in a knockout sequence in which hieroglyphics come alive--he flees to the desert, where he finds his roots and heeds God's calling to free the slaves from Egypt.

Katzenberg and his artists are careful to tread lightly on religious boundaries. The film stops at the parting of the Red Sea, only showing the Ten Commandments--without commentary--as the film's coda. Music is a big part (there were three CDs released) and Hans Zimmer's score and Stephen Schwartz's songs work well--in fact the pop-ready, Oscar-winning "When You Believe" is one of the weakest songs. Kids ages 5 and up should be able to handle the referenced violence; the film doesn't shy away from what Egyptians did to their slaves. Perhaps Katzenberg could have aimed lower and made a more successful animated film, but then again, what's a heaven for? --Doug Thomas
