A review of The Prince of Egypt shows that just like all the other films about the Exodus, there are plenty of historical facts and some fictions. Unfortunately, perhaps because it is animated, many people tend to see the film, starring Val Kilmer as Moses and Ralph Fiennes as Ramesses II, as less serious and therefore less historically accurate, but that is a mistake. by Brenda Chapman/Steve Hickner/Simon Wells, 1998, 99 mins.When one considers the historical accuracy of the many films that depict the biblical Exodus, the 1998 animated film The Prince of Egypt is often overlooked. Upon learning the truth of his past from a burning bush in the desert, Moses returns to Egypt with God on his side and demands that the Pharaoh (now his brother Rameses) must “Let my people go.” Featuring stunning animation and Oscar-winning songs written by Stephen Schwartz and sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, The Prince of Egypt is a classic tale for all audiences. The Pharaoh Seti (Patrick Stewart) raised Moses as his son. His secret, of course, is that he is really a Jew and as a child was floated down the river to escape death. While Rameses is groomed to take over the land, his beloved brother Moses is a carefree prankster, until he learns the true secret of his past.
The story revolves around these two close stepbrothers, Moses (Val Kilmer) and Rameses (Ralph Fiennes). “Wonderful! One of the best looking animated films ever made.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times The epic musical/adventure The Prince of Egypt, from DreamWorks Animation, tells the thrilling biblical story of Moses, who frees the Jews from Egyptian slavery under the hand of the pharaoh Rameses.
