"Pharaoh has the power. He can take away your food, your home, your freedom. He can take away your sons and daughters. With one word, Pharaoh can take away your very lives. But there is one thing he cannot take away from you: your faith. Believe, for we will see God's wonders." - Moses

Why watch this? Another great, powerful musical from DreamWorks.

Plot Summary: The tells the animated story of Moses, a Hebrew raised as an Egyptian prince alongside his brother Rameses. After discovering his true heritage and witnessing the suffering of his people, a conflicted Moses flees the palace and embraces a new life in the desert. He is then called upon by God to return to Egypt and lead the enslaved Israelites to freedom, putting him in direct opposition to his adoptive brother, who has since become the Pharaoh.

Dad's Preview: This beautiful, snappy re-telling of the Moses story upgrades old, religiously-tethered norms and infuses a nice realism into the great lawgiver. The musical is filled with songs that rival any Disney film every made. Adding to its success is a top-notch voice cast. This animated film will appeal to adults and children alike; it's easy to enjoy and stands as a spectacular epic for the entire family.
