Accurate Retelling of Exodus/Story of Moses - but not for preschoolers
We watched Prince of Egypt during the Jewish holiday of Passover, which celebrates the escape from slavery in Egypt. I loved the film for its faithfulness to the storyline while handling heavy and serious themes in a very appropriate way. I also appreciated the music. This move is NOT appropriate for preschoolers. They show slaves being whipped and the death of first born egyptian sons - tactful but too much for little children

Stunning Movie!!...Many Opportunities for Discussion...
Our kids have watched this since they were about 1 and 3 years old. I have had to do a lot of explaining about the slaves, why they were being hurt and made to work until exhaustion, and why certain people died (a guard whipping a slave being accidentally pushed off a ledge by Moses, 1st borns being "taken" by a ghostly mist, and soldiers being swallowed up by the return of the sea). Some parents, especially of small children, may not want their kids to see those types of images or want to discuss them. You know your child!! Some scenes like the different plagues or heiroglyphic animation might really scare some of the more sensitive children. Watch first and decide what's right for your family. Moses is a wonderful character to look up to in this movie! His wife is a VERY strong female role model, as well!! In this beautifully done story, children learn of kindness, compassion, finding happiness and contentment in a hopeless situation, and love of your fellow man. The music is truly moving, probably one of my most favorite scores! The movie itself is not too preachy, but tells the BASIC story of Moses with delicious music and stunning animation! I HIGHLY recommend this movie!!!

Excellent Movie for all ages
This is a great movie that not only entertains but is relatively accurate via most religions. Good job.

Incredible!
Great, fantastic movie about the infamous Exodus. One of the greatest animation achievements of our age. Awesome! The animation and the score were not of this world! One short sequence of a woman in a skimpy outfit. We realize she's forced into it and she never dresses like that again. Still, completely unnecessary.

Not for young kids.
This is a disturbingly graphic retelling of the story. The plagues in particular were frightening for my 5 and 7 year old and hard for them to understand. The white mist that comes to kill the first born is the stuff of childhood nightmares.
