To use Disney as a measuring stick with which to compare The Prince of Egypt would do a disservice to Dreamworks' achievement. Spielberg, Katzenberg, et al. may have just set the new industry standard!
The Prince of Egypt is a remarkably reverent account of the Biblical story of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt, with relatively few creative liberties taken. The animation is top-notch and often breath-taking, but even better is the story development. The plot moves along quickly and keeps the audience wide-eyed with anticipation and suspense. And the all-star cast lend their voice talents superbly without distracting from the story or the characterizations (though Ralph Fiennes' Welsh accent does seem a little out of place for Rameses).
This movie is a must-see for all movie buffs and students of history, not just for families with a mini-van full of kids. The Prince of Egypt has all the makings of a new classic.
