Spectacular cartoon adaptation about known story , it focuses Moses , the Hebrew leader , leading the Jews out of Egypt and realized in musical style . This is the wonderful story about an extraordinary man receiving a holy calling , and follows his life from birth , abandonment , slavery and trials in leading the Jews ; this is the greatest event in cartoon motion picture history . Biblical story developed in on an animated great scale though no such as the classic Cecil B. De Mille's version . An Egyptian prince named Moses (Val Kilmer provides a voice for both Moses and God, Charlton Heston also played both parts in classic adaptation) who is adopted and brought up in the court learns of his identity as a Hebrew and later his destiny to become the chosen deliverer of his people . This vivid storytelling although fairly standard follows appropriately the Moses'life , the son of a Jew slave, from birth and abandonment on a basket over river Nile , as when the Pharaoh Seti (voice by Patrick Stewart) ordered the killing of all newborn babies , being pick up by Egyptian princesses and he's raised in the royal court , becoming into Prince of Egypt . One time grown-up Moses embarks a supernatural mission , as the Egyptian Prince , learns of his true heritage as a Hebrew and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people , getting the freedom for Hebrews . When his Hebrew origin is revealed , Moses is cast out of Egypt , and makes his way across the desert . Then , Moses retires out of Egypt where meets Jethro (voice of Danny Glover) , marring him with his daughter Sefora . The stoic Moses along with his brothers Aaron (Jeff Goldblum) and Miriam (voice of Sandra Bullock) confront Pharaoh Rameses (voice of Ralph Fiennes who was considered for the title role of The Saint, which went to Val Kilmer) . Moses asks Pharaoh to liberate them but he refuses, causing the Egyptian plagues : invasion of locusts , fogs , epidemic , water become in blood and death of the first-born . As Moses instructs the slaves to put lamb's blood above their doors for protection and in the night , the angel of death comes , and passes over the protected doors . In the homes of the Egyptians where there is no protective sign , the angel kills off the first born children of Egypt, including Rameses' son . Moses goes to his brother after this , and is given permission to take the Jews . Moses takes charge of God's people and wrests them from Pharaoh's punishing grip . Moses like liberator of the Jewish leads his people throughout desert battling enemies and with holy intervention (when Moses and God are conversing, Val Kilmer is actually talking to himself) . Finally , Moses climbs the Mount of Sinai bringing the holy tablets , meanwhile Jewish people worshipping the golden calf .
This is a monumental animated version of the Biblic book of ¨Exodus ¨ with drawings carried out in utter conviction and impressive special effects , including the computer generator parting of the Red Sea ; in spite of making by means of usual C.G. ,the effects still look great . The production team conferred with roughly 600 religious experts to make the film as accurate as possible . Sadly , the movie was banned in Malaysia and Indonesia , but later released in Video CD format . Lavishly produced by Dreamworks , the Production Company created by Jeffrey Katzenberg , David Geffen and Steven Spielberg . Producer Jeffrey Katzenberg constantly pitched the idea to the Walt Disney Company while he was working there , but Michael Eisner didn't like the idea . Obviously changes were made to the story to make it work as an animated feature , in fact , there is a short list of differences between the movie and the Biblical account of the Exodus . This movie was the most expensive animated feature ever made at the time, being beaten out by Final fantasy . However , the film being necessary to see it in big screen , watching in TV it makes lost most really spectacular scenarios on the small screen . The picture is suitable for family viewing and religious people.
Other adaptations told in compactly form about this biblical story are the followings : classic mute (1923) by Cecil B. DeMille with Theodore Roberts , Charles Rochefort ; the second handling and the greatest , made in a gargantuan scale by Cecil B. DeMille (1956) played by Charlton Heston , Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter , Debra Paget , John Derek , Edward G. Robinson and Vincent Price . Furthermore , TV rendition (1975) by Gianfranco De Bossio with Burt Lancaster , Irene Papas and Anthony Quayle , a new take on titled ¨In the beginning¨ (2000) by Kevin Connor with Billy Campbell as Moses , Christopher Lee as Seti and Art Malik as Rameses . And television rendition (2006) by Robert Dornhelm with Dougray Scott , Susan Lynch , Naveen Andrews , Paul Rhys , Omar Sharif , Linus Roache among others .
