![]() When God speaks to him his destiny is decided to lead the chosen people out of captivity and into the promised land. Moses grows up as the son of Pharaoh and brother of Rameses but it is not until he accidentally kills an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew slave that he discovers his true identity that of a Hebrew orphan taken in by the Royals as a baby. All in all, a superb animated film, which isn't to be missed. ![]() I tend to worry about A Listers in animated films, but this, people, is a truly talented voice cast, who are truly excellent when they are given a good script, which was exactly what they got. ![]() The voice talents are superlative, here we have Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Steve Martin and Martin Short voicing fairly complex and beautifully-drawn characters flawlessly. There is nothing wrong with the story at all, other that it is complicated, but it is a biblical story after all. "When You Believe" is a standout, as is the title song. The songs and music(by Hans Zimmer) are phenomenal. ![]() The animation is jaw-dropping, especially in The Plagues scene, which is still for me visually and musically one of the most haunting and evocative scenes in an animated film, and the part with the Red Sea splitting. I could not fault this movie whatsoever, and I am shocked at the low rating.
