Around the time Jews celebrate Passover and Christians celebrate Easter, the ABC television network airs the timeless 1956 classic film “The Ten Commandments” starring Charlton Heston, which is still the most popular rendition of the Exodus account to date. And yet, beginning in 1994, Steven Spielberg, former chairman of the Walt Disney Studios Jeffrey Katzenberg, and music recording mogul David Geffen decided to make a uniquely distinct version as their new studio’s first full length animated feature film. In 1998, DreamWorks Pictures released one of the most memorable and moving adaptations of the biblical account of Moses ever, and in this piece, I would like to commemorate this film, in hopes that you will see it too and get something of value from it.

This movie is a great movie to watch both to commemorate the Passover Holiday, or at any time, when your faith may need a "pick me up." The 1998 film "The Prince of Egypt" is a one of a kind masterpiece, that is epic in scope and scale, and leaves a lasting impression on you for all time.

I have that on DVD. A few years ago, Walmart cleared out a bunch of movies for a dollar each.

I still haven’t watched it.

The scene showing the parting of the Red Sea is impressive by any standards.

Yes, the parting of the Red Sea was so epic that you feel chills roll down your spine in awe and wonder.
