The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments showcases Moses, the reluctant prophet, who was the only man in Biblical history to see the face of God and call him "friend." This special animated version is filled with high adventure, miraculous events and a gentle sense of humor. Condemned to die by the Pharaoh while just a baby, Hebrew Moses is set adrift on the River Nile by his mother and his sister. Rescued by the daughter of the Pharaoh, he grows up thinking he's an Egyptian prince. Eventually exiled from Egypt when he is exposed as a Jew, he is touched by God and told that he will lead his enslaved people to the Promised Land.

5 Stars Excellent Movie for Family
This is an excellent re-telling of the Bible's Exodus. Vivid animation, color and captivating storyline that kids will just love it. The voice cast is strong and the music is excellent.

The story follows the Bible closely with scary scene tastefully done up. A good resource to introduce bible stories to kids, sunday school, etc. A MUST for any Church Sunday School Library.

5 Stars I LOVE MOVIES FROM THE BIBLE!!!!
I like movies based on different concepts, like Robocop, Pokemon, Transformers, ect… but I REALLY LOVE movies based on the BIBLE!

I have not seen this movie yet, though I believe it is going to be GREAT!!!

4 Stars Great Family Film ~ Biblically Accurate
The animation itself left a little to be desired (disproportioned bodies, "jumping" animation, 3 month old baby moses with a full set of teeth, Moses the adult running around in a skirt above his knees). This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Ultimately, I was pleased that this movie was more Biblically accurate than "Prince of Egypt". It also took less "liberties" and made fewer "assumptions" about details that were not included in the Bible. More of Moses' life was portrayed. In addition, we were given a better look into the suffering that the Israelites endured. My 3-y-o & 4-y-o enjoyed it immensely, as did Daddy & Mommy. This is definitely one we are proud to own and watch over & over again.

5 Stars Excellent
This movie is great, I was impressed with it's production. For the most part Biblically accurate. Entertainment and Education for all ages. Well done!!

5 Stars Great Family Film!
This is a great movie for every member of the family. Unlike the Heston Ten Commandments that runs over 3 hours this version is only 88 minutes long, has tons of fun and wonderful characters (has some really good humor too if you can believe it) and tells the whole story Moses from his birth until the promised land. My kids absolutely loved this movie and didn't move from the beginning to the end. When I asked them what their favorite part of the movie was they said the whole thing. I encourage everyone to buy this movie.
