In the pantheon of animated cinema, 1998’s The Prince of Egypt stands as a breathtaking anomaly. Produced by DreamWorks Animation (in only their second feature outing), the film dared to tackle one of the most monumental stories of the Old Testament: the life of Moses, the Exodus, and the Ten Commandments. While many expected a "Disney-lite" musical, audiences were instead gifted a visually operatic, emotionally mature, and spiritually profound epic that holds up as arguably the greatest biblical animated film ever made.
Released by DreamWorks Animation in 1998, The Prince of Egypt is an epic animated musical drama that retells the biblical story of the Exodus, focusing on the life of Moses.
