This story took place at the dawn of civilization in ancient Egypt. The rushing and majestic Nile carried a baby basket to the shore in front of Pharaoh’s palace. The mighty ruler adopted the tiny boy and gave him the name Moses.

The years passed… Moses and his brother Ramses grew up together. But the day would come when one of the brothers would become the ruler of the greatest empire on earth, and the other would become a saint… The confrontation between the heroes would change their destinies and human history forever.

What are the ingredients for a good cartoon? Great animation, a gripping plot, not bad sound design and characters that push you to pity – that’s all you need to succeed. And ‘Prince of Egypt’ easily took that bar.

The ancient civilization of Egypt is a place where the greatest works of art were built on the bones of slaves. And it just so happens that the son of one of those slaves becomes the adopted child of the Pharaoh. “Unbelievable!” you say, and you would be absolutely right. But it’s a cartoon! And it seems that the Almighty Himself favors this child, whose basket, launched down the Nile, reaches its final destination, bypassing the hippopotamus, the crocodile, and the merchant ships. Finally, the basket is washed ashore by Pharaoh’s wife, who does not hesitate to take the boy under her wing.

The years go by. The boy, named Moses, lives happily ever after, having a good time with his crony and brother Ramses. But this wonderful time of pranks and amusement passes as soon as Ramses, the eldest of the brothers, becomes the new ‘Lord of Egypt. Moses’ eyes are opened…

The world is not so merry and unfair, and Moses is the one who, at the command of the Almighty, who had so carefully protected him as a child, must lead ‘the Jews out of the land of Egypt’. All the more so because his newfound relatives, namely his blood brother and sister, and his wife fully support him.

And in general – it is amazing that the cartoon is able to bring together two audiences – adults and children. A cartoon that I can rewatch endlessly many times.
