"The Prince of Egypt" (1998)

It had a disclaimer at the beginning warning about the artistic and historical license taken with the story.  I thought that was important to do, and important to do at the beginning.  It then pointed out for the true story to go read it in the Bible.  yes.  that.

Therefore, I enjoyed it.

It is a musical.  It has a nice balance of character drama.  And they did a nice job of condensing the plagues without leaving any of them out.

I don't know that I find the music any kind of special (other than subject matter).  I liked the story between brothers (Moses and Ramses) that they had in the story, and I liked Moses's various expressions, especially in the later part of the story.
