There is a disclaimer prior to the start of the picture that indicates that while some artistic liberties were taken in the making of the film, the overall story is told with primary accuracy to the source material. That was adhered to impressively.
From a non biblical standpoint, looking at the bible through the lens of a "story," there are so many very interesting things that occur that would make many great movies when told. For whatever reason, most film makers don't think the stories are good enough and feel the need to change them to the point of not being recognizable. Dreamworks did not take that approach.
The Prince of Egypt does a great job of explaining the relationship between Ramses and Moses and how they grew together, and the anguish that was felt through the trials and tribulations they were both faced with.
The voice acting was wonderful and the artwork was top notch. Dreamworks hits another home run.

This story takes you from Egypt to England with all of the differences between the two brilliantly described. Louisa and Henry are supported by an amazing cast that I loved getting to know and I really want to see more of them! The pacing is spot-on with the whole book moving along nicely without a wasted word or unnecessary flourish.
This was a fantastic read that I thoroughly enjoyed. So good to read a Nicola Cameron classic again. Absolutely recommended by me.
