The first movie since the 1956 'The Ten Commandments' to retell the story of Moses, 'The Prince of Egypt' is an animated masterpiece, featuring breathtaking animated scenes and a brilliant musical score by Hans Zimmer. To create this behind-the-scenes look at the film's production, author and respected historian of animation Charles Solomon interviewed many of the people involved in the process, emphasizing the contributions of storytellers, voice actors, scene designers, visual effects animators, and musicians in the realization of the project. It is a wonderfully entertaining and well-researched story of Moses, made possible only by the work of all involved.
