Auf der Flucht vor den Häschern des Herodes setzt eine verzweifelte Mutter ihr Baby, in einen Korb gebettet, am Ufer des Nil aus. Flussabwärts findet die ägyptische Königin das Kind und nimmt sich seiner an. So wächst Moses an der Seite des Pharaosohns Ramses auf. Jahre später entzweit die Entdeckung seiner wahren Herkunft die tiefe Freundschaft der beiden Männer. Von Gott berufen, beschließt Moses, sein Volk aus der ägyptischen Knechtschaft zu befreien. (ORF)

At a time when classic Disney animation hardly interested even kids anymore, Spielberg's DreamWorks came up with a masterpiece that kick-started classic animation to the fame it had vainly craved since The Lion King. The sweeping theme of the life of Moses has been simplified into an almost fairy tale form, yet it remains sufficiently reverent to the overall content to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The voice casting is accurate, Hans Zimmer avoided his usual motifs when composing the music and once again created an original and impressive composition. The animators did their best and the last Egyptian morning or the parting of the Red Sea are truly impressive. The Prince of Egypt is shining proof that animation can be both highly intelligent and entertaining (i.e., not boring).

The first half was excellent, the second half was a bit boring and overall an above average and interesting animated film for every age group, but I missed the humour and the songs were too much for my taste.
