3.5/4
"This is a movie that takes us to places we've never seen before. Literally, it's the ultimate proof that animation can do anything it wants."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

3.5/4
"An awe-inspiring, amazing achievement that not only is refreshingly more serious and realistic than the usual dull recent Disney movies, but enraptured me in its spell from the first powerful sequence to the last."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dustin Putman

4/5
"This is truly a landmark in animated entertainment."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

B

"A disappointing and uninspiring animated feature."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"It takes a familiar story and recreates it on screen in a bold new fashion."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

3.5/5
"The Prince of Egypt is a beautifully animated story with a superb cast; it just isn't the Exodus story."  Netflix  James Rocchi

"Characters are extremely lifelike in appearance and movement, and some of the scenes are magnificently staged in composition and depth, including the well-known and beautifully executed parting of the Red Sea."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"Maybe we should overlook the fact that the film's music and songs will be forgotten long before its images die away."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3.5/4
"Disfrutable para los públicos de todas las edades, además de ser un buen motivo para creer nuevamente en los milagros"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade
