Karen May 18 Soooo good! Would definitely re-watch it in theaters. See more Mickey B @Mickerdoo 6d The story and the cast are exceptional. Also made in a really good era for animation. The soundtrack is quite grandiose, too. See more Christopher M @RT27122576 Jun 10 I just have to give it a perfect rating because it covered such a massive story so well with such good character development, artistic direction, the composition by Hans Zimmer is legendary. It achieved everything is set out to accomplish. See more Jack M @RT92191701 Jun 9 One of the best animated movies I've ever seen. So dark, emotional, creative and serious. I love the 2D animation too as well and it really surprised me on my first watch. I really love the story and tone, it doesn't even fit in with DreamWorks standards judging how they make new films like The Bad Guys today. See more Christian M @chriss17eu May 31 Neither musicals nor animation usually appeal to me, though I still wanted to revisit this film with a more mature perspective. From the beginning, its idea of being born with a predetermined purpose already felt unsettling to me. Visually, the egyptian setting is convincing, but the narrative raises issues, especially for a children’s film: scenes of women treated like trophies or Moses raising his hand against his sister feel uncomfortable given the young audience. The humor and songs also distance me from the experience, since the music constantly interrupts the story while reducing potentially powerful themes to simple melodies. Moses is charismatic but emotionally distant, while Miriam feels far more human and relatable. The divine plagues are visually impressive, particularly the deadly mist sequence, which reinforces my view that God is portrayed without morality or distinction between innocent and guilty.

I loved every character and their unique motivations and actions, and I really loved the villain in this movie. Rameses was written beautifully imo. I can sympathize with his actions from the start to end, and I liked how they showcased his conflicting emotions. While he still loved his brother, he had to uphold the duty he was bestowed by his father and his ancestors, and this 2 contrasting motivations really tortured and tore him apart. Only at the end where his son was killed by Moses where he finally snapped and swore carnage upon Moses and ‘his kind’. I’m amazed at how well crafted the villain is, and I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Would watch it again! And definitely recommend this to non-Christian folks as well See more Read all reviews
