The Prince of Egypt

The title refers to the film produced by Dreamworks, the most popular animated adaptation of the story of Moses in the Old Testament of the Bible. I watched it again tonight and was again impressed with its sincere and mostly believable interpretation. Of course they take some artistic license, but the dramatic relationships between the main characters (especially Moses and Ramses) are extrapolated from what can be found in the Bible.

Not to mention the music. It is very well done, throughout the entire film, and does a fantastic job of setting up the drama or the relief when appropriate.

In summation, the film has given my generation a new way to look at the Moses story, as well as any other story in revealed scripture. I am grateful for Dreamwork's film, The Prince of Egypt.
