Prince of Egypt, The (1998) Rank 2 Reviews

Plugged In

Prince. Prophet. Patriarch. ... Prankster? While DreamWorks' tale of Moses' life may stray occasionally from the chapter-and-verse account found in Exodus 1-14, The Prince of Egypt reverently brings biblical history back to the big screen. Not since ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Plugged In

E' bene rendersi conto che non esistono piÃ¹ cartoni animati per bambini. Anzi non Ã¨ piÃ¹ neppure possibile parlare di cartoni animati nel senso classico del termine.

Washington Post (Michael O'Sullivan)

As a rule, the drawn and computer-animated imagery is top notch and seamlessly integrated, but the central characters' tawny complexions and the often chiaroscuro lighting sometimes obscure all but the whites of their eyes and their pearl-perfect teeth. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Washington Post (Michael O'Sullivan)

Maybe we should overlook the fact that the film's music and songs will be forgotten long before its images die away. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at DVDTown.com (John J. Puccio)

Film Threat (Ron Wells)

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. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Film Threat (Ron Wells)

Tempi Moderni

Resoconto abbastanza fedele dell'Esodo biblico, "Il Principe d'Egitto" segnala l'ingresso della Dreamworks, la societÃ capitanata da Steven Spielberg, nell'olimpo dei grandi dell'animazione. Per distinguersi nettamente dalla Disney, il film presenta ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Tempi Moderni

Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)

En esta ocasiÃ³n, Dreamworks SKG hace su debut en el mundo de la animaciÃ³n tradicional con la cinta El PrÃncipe de Egipto, intentando quitarle un poco de su gloria a los todavÃa poderosos pero cada vez mÃ¡s amenazados estudios Disney. Y el resultado ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)

A richly imagined tale based on the first half of the biblical Book of Exodus, the movie raises animated story-telling to new levels of depth and maturity. The story opens with a Hebrew mother setting her infant son adrift to escape a murderous ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)

The Helen Mirren Appreciation Society

It may not have the weight and scope of The Ten Commandments, but The Prince of Egypt is certainly lovely to look at. With stylized animation that succeeds most elegantly with the Queen (voiced by Helen Mirren) and a palate of desert colors, the film ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at The Helen Mirren Appreciation Society

Boxoffice Magazine

The Biblical Book of Exodus provides the basis for this rags-to-riches-to-salvation rendition of the life of Moses. Keeping true to the story (with the filmmakers going so far as to consult religious scholars), "The Prince of Egypt" tells the tale in a ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

Boxoffice Magazine

DreamWorks' ambitious 1998 PG-rated telling of the Moses/Exodus story, "The Prince of Egypt," must be considered a praiseworthy effort if for no other reason than the determination of its makers to remain true to the tale, even at the risk of the ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

Needcoffee.com - Movie Review

That's right, it's the book of Exodus. They've thrown in some unnecessary action sequences, i.e. a Ben Hur chariot race down the scaffolding of a monument whilst the nose of said monument is a close third, but all in all, you've got Exodus. And therein ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Needcoffee.com - Movie Review

San Francisco Examiner (Juan M. Mendez)

The spectacle is huge; the animation, breathtaking. In many ways, it is the epic of biblical proportions the filmmakers hoped for. But, like the Good Book itself, The Prince of Egypt can also be tedious, self-important and at times exhausting. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at San Francisco Examiner (Juan M.

This is my first review that I post to this newsgroup, and I kind of feel like I have to say something negative about this film. No one else seems to care that it takes certain liberties that should not be taken with a historical story.
