When Moshe encounters the burning bush and confronts a God who calls Himself I Am That I Am...it is almost as if the scene compels the audience to remove their shoes for holy ground is underfoot

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

Takes itself too seriously.

The angular animation and muted colour palette gives the film a look more redolent of classic European cartoons than their homelier American counterparts.

It turns much too serious for its own good, though it otherwise is an entirely satisfying animated adventure story.

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

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

Well-told story that's careful not to offend.

Much of the animation is stunning and all of the vocal performances are good to great. It's just much of the passion seems to be in not stepping on anyone's beliefs or interpretations, instead of in telling the story in the most compelling way possible.

The handsomely animated Prince of Egypt is an amalgam of Hollywood biblical epic, Broadway supermusical and nice Sunday school lesson.
September 22, 2007
Hyperactive and visually busy without being much fun.

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