Hebrews:
[singing]
With the sting of the whip on my shoulder, with the salt of my sweat on my brow... Elohim, God on high, can you hear your people cry? Help us now, this dark hour... Deliver us, hear our call, deliver us, Lord of all! Remember us, here in this burning sand! Deliver us, there's a land you promised us! Deliver us to the promised land!
User Review
DreamWorks killed Disney.
Rating: 9/10
I saw Mulan, Anastasia and Prince of Egypt in a row. I loved Mulan, I loved
Anastasia even more, and now... Well, I must say that Prince of Egypt is
probably the best of all. I'd even say, the best animation feature ever
produced in the USA (aside from Batman : Mask of the Phantasm).
It is a real piece of art, aiming to entertain everybody, not only act as a
baby-sitter movie for kids. There aren't even any pets here. Only a great
story, moving scenes, credible characters and fantastic music and
storyboard. You will love this one.
