But such is a minor quibble, and should not dissuade anyone from seeing the greatest animated story ever told. The two voices are distinctive of the gentleman who possess them, and thus are distracting in this format. If the film has a weak link, it might be the voice casting,Val Kilmer and Patrick Stewart in particular. Still, the scene in which it takes place is powerful and the song is beautifully performed. The songs are powerful and moving, sometimes no more than one verse in length, sometimes full-blown seven-minute extravaganzas like "Let My People Go." The one weaker song, surprisingly, is the theme "When You Believe." Even freed from Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston R&B cheese as it is in the movie, it's a watery definition of faith at best. Stephen Schwartz' songs combine elements of Broadway-esque show tunes with native Hebrew and Egyptian music. When there are 20+ folks shooting the same scene as you it can be tough to get a nice wideangle shot of the scene without becoming well-acquainted with the. Movies and TV-shows with a RARBG tag are a common. The music has been touted by some critics as the film's weak link such is definitely not the case. RARBG, which started out as a Bulgarian tracker, has gained the hearts and minds of many video pirates. There is, I believe I can safely say, not a second of the film that does not offer some sort of visual delight - from the deep symbolism of the hieroglyphics to the dizzying chariot race in the opening sequence. If you blink during the parting of the red sea, you'll regret it. The violent, sexual, and religious content of director Ken Russell’s 1971 film The Devils has long made it one of the most controversial horror movies of them all. There are moments when the visual effects made me forget to breathe. The film also takes some fairly audacious risks Moses has a dream sequence in stiffly animated hieroglyphics, completely switching animation styles for about five minutes, which I believe is completely unprecedented in animation. Computer Generated Imagery blends - for the first time in an animated film - seamlessly with traditional cel animation. The animation style owes a small debt to Disney's house style, but goes above and beyond in the details in character design (the Hebrews and Egyptians and Midians are clearly of different ethnic backgrounds, and no character suffers from the doe-eyed Disney Belle syndrome). Instead of merely relating the tale as it is, the story asks "how would a person *feel* if God appeared to them and told them to do this? How would others react?" The script is light-years beyond any past biblical epic. The result is a religious tale that treats the oft-ignored human element. The focus of the film is the conflict between Ramses and his adopted brother, Moses, set against the backdrop of the epic events in the book of Exodus. The main characters are well-realized, three-dimensional characters. Quite possibly the most astonishing achievement in animation since Beauty and the Beast (and surpassing same), The Prince of Egypt is a lovingly crafted, engaging piece of cinema.
