"Prince of Egypt"

Paper Summary:

This paper summarizes and critiques the animated children's film, "Prince of Egypt", and discusses whether the film accurately depicts the biblical account of Moses's story.

From the Paper:

"The Prince of Egypt is an animated film, which tells the story of Moses. It begins with his adoption as an infant and carries through to the final exodus of the Hebrew people. The filmmaker seems sympathetic to the religion shown, which could be either Jewish or Old Testament Christianity, as it evolves to show the Hebrew people in a good light. I was intrigued to see how the film developed the storyline, showing the Hebrew people initially as little seen slaves just as the royal families regarded them. As Moses came closer and closer to his roots, the slaves were shown more, and more, and we see that they are not just slaves, but actual people."
