The Prince of Egypt

The film is great for the entire family, a fantastic watch, and biblically accurate.

Although I would prefer this to be more biblically accurate, its still an amazing movie! The Jews have suffered so much throughout the eras, and looks like the Christians have inherited this blessing too.

Very good movie all kids should watch as well depicting the story of Joseph in the Bible

A brilliant film with wonderful visuals, artwork, animation and sound. I did experience issues with the odd momentary flicker or two frames appeared in one. (Hard to explain) This was obvious and was distracting.Update: A replacement disc has been sent from AmazonUSA

CLASSIC!!!!!

Was amazing. I would say a CLASSIC

Whether you follow any specific religion/faith or not, I find it difficult to see how anyone could say that this isn't an amazing story. Take away the religious content, you're still left with a very passionate story about oppression, discovering who you truly are, giving a voice to those who would otherwise remain silent and finding the strength to face a difficult situation and do what is right. The general story is one that has popped up in various places, but DreamWorks just made a production of the traditional story found in the Bible.Speaking as someone who lives on a wish rather than a prayer and stacks her copy of the Bible and the Tanakh on the same shelf as Grimm, Anderson, Kipling and Aesop, I didn't find The Prince of Egypt at all bias or preachy. There obviously had to be references to faith and God, but there was nothing that suggested all audience members should believe in a specific entity or that anyone followed the 'wrong' faith. Instead of presenting religious conflict, it was moral conflict - i.e. leading slaves to freedom.It is rated 'U' but, in my opinion, it really stretches the limits. The plague scene in particular is quite graphic and the beginning scene where you see how badly the slaves are being treated and the killing of the babies is really quite heart-wrenching - something the written texts never quite capture.While a fair amount of artistic licence has been taken, the actual events from Moses being cast adrift in the river to his leading the Hebrews to their own land are accurate enough to tell the story. The characters were all brought beautifully to life with qualities and flaws, emotions and feelings and, being able to relate with them was quite surprising, but very well done. While in the text, there is no close brotherly relationship between Moses and Ramesses (I don't think Ramesses is even the Pharaoh mentioned in the texts - I could be wrong) it brought a new level of emotional turmoil to the story. The fact that they had a connection made the plagues and the last few scenes all the more devastating. Unless you are a very very devout follower (which is fine - I understand that) I wouldn't think the use of artistic licence would be enough to cause offence.As far as animation goes, I was a bit dubious. Having previously watched Sinbad (which I gave up on) and El Dorado, which I enjoyed but is rather badly animated in some ways, I was very surprised by the quality presented in this. The details of the scenery and, even the 'extra' characters is almost breath-taking. From the colours and tones used in the images to the attention paid to the slightest breeze (the first river-scene with Jochebed for example) and the way Moses keeps shrugging his too-big robe onto his shoulder is fairly astounding. I'm not sure it would kick Disney off the scale, but it definitely sets a strong precedent for DreamWorks.My favourite sequence is 'Through Heaven's Eyes' where we see the time Moses spends in Midian and truly begins to embrace who he is and finds contentment as a shepherd and a husband to Tsippora. The entire sequence is probably five minutes long - there are no long-drawn out romance scenes or big life-lessons thrown at you, but the sentiments are there.The soundtrack is what, for me, throws this entire production onto a completely different level. Not only do the songs move things along quickly, but clearly (as mentioned about in 'Through Heavens Eyes') but the musical pieces range from sinister to soft to cheerful and rousing. The music that supported the plagues sequence was almost frightening while the River Lullaby was the heart-breaking lines amongst a very angry and desperate musical piece (Deliver Us)At the minute, this has been placed near the top of my list of favourite animated films purely for every element that creates it - from the story and the characters, to the music and scenery. In my opinion, there is no really weak element - even the priests who were maybe there for comic relief weren't out of place. A definite recommendation.

I have always liked this animated film and now it comes in a very nice 4k limited edition collectors set. Comes in a hard outer box and a set of art cards inside the plastic case that holds the disc. Arrived very quickly with no damage.

This movie is a classic masterpiece and a must see for anyone who loves Christian movies or has already seen it. I have both movies on regular format and this one of 4K UHD. The 4K UHD upgrade is a love letter to all the fans and viewers of the original. The colors really pop out, the details are made clear, the music is louder and more detailed in sound, and just like that a 20 year old movie looks modern again! This movie looks and sounds great! But I personally wouldn’t recommend watching it unless you have a soundbar. The music is the butter while the story is the bread. The music is truly phenomenal and emotional to hear while watching the movie. I felt like the music was a little lower and didn’t have enough of that “oomph” that really delivers the overall emotion of the movie while watching it on my OLED TV using the TV speakers. It’s like the audio for the voices were competing with the music during the movie and the voices won. The music just didn’t sound as loud and clear as the voices whenever they came on. They sounded like they were different in terms of one was lower than the other. So I watched it again, but with a soundbar and it sounded much better and much more theatrical and had that impact that I remembered feeling in theaters when seeing it for the first time!Whether you have a sound system at home for your TV or not, this movie is a great masterpiece and it is made whole again for a triumphant return in 4K UHD. If you love this movie or haven’t seen it, (and have a 4K DVD player) take my word for it. Buy it!

La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es muy buena, con una fantástica animación que en 4k luce más, viene hablada al español latino y con subtítulos en español.

👍

It doesn't matter if you are religious or not you have most likely heard the story of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea. This is a fantastic film about Moses and the freeing of the Jews from Egypt. The animation is top notch and the story is compelling and enjoyable for everyone, you don't need to be religious to enjoy this film. Anyone who wants to see a good depiction of Moses with an all-star cast I would highly recommend this film.

Très beau collector avec des photos de toute beauté.
