The Prince of Egypt is DreamWorks Animation’s first feature film (1998), a sweeping, mature retelling of the Book of Exodus. It follows Moses from his infancy in a basket, to his privileged upbringing as a prince of Egypt alongside his adoptive brother Ramses, through his exile, his encounter with God at the burning bush, and the ten plagues leading to the Exodus. The film is renowned for its stunning hand-drawn (and early CG-enhanced) animation, a powerful score by Hans Zimmer, and an Oscar-winning song (“When You Believe”).
