Prince Of Egypt is epic storytelling on the grandest scale. Big imagery, big themes, big emotions - all met head-on and accomplished triumphantly within a film that is in essence a live action movie - more precisely a Steven Spielberg live action movie - writ cartoon.

San Francisco Chronicle
An inspiring translation of biblical grandeur, turning the story of one of history's greatest heroes into an entertaining, visually dazzling cartoon.

ReelViews
Overall, it's a story of triumph and adventure - of oppression ended and freedom begun.

Chicago Reader
The blend of animation techniques somehow demonstrates mastery modestly, while the special effects are nothing short of magnificent.

The New York Times
A well-made work with much to recommend it, even if its worthiness is not the brightest flare on the movie horizon this season.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Certainly spectacular -- an elaborately designed combination of animation and computer-generated imagery -- but at times it's a spectacular bore.
60
Film Threat
Much of the animation is stunning and all of the vocal performances are good to great. It's just much of the passion seems to be in not stepping on anyone's beliefs or interpretations, instead of in telling the story in the most compelling way possible.

San Francisco Examiner
The spectacle is huge; the animation, breathtaking. In many ways, it is the epic of biblical proportions the filmmakers hoped for. But, like the Good Book itself, The Prince of Egypt can also be tedious, self-important and at times exhausting.
