this be very possibly the fine animation i have see . before comment on the film a a whole and i want to make that clear and because in the inevitable rush to pick this film apart ( the plot and the voice and the religious significance and the literary accuracy and the moral issue and the music and the comparison with disney and de mille and etc . ) one might easily become distract from the aesthetic and technical triumph of the prince of egypt and and that would be unfortunate . a someone who have an interest and appreciation of animation and i can say that this be the first film i have see that successfully integrate computer generate animation and traditional animation ( and i have see many attempt ) . more importantly and a someone who have eye and i can say that the result be a visual experience of intense style and beauty . in fact and the initial depiction of egypt be so breathtaking and that it seriously hinder the film later effort to vilify it . comparison with disney be inevitable and especially because prince of egypt employ tire disney formula in an attempt and i assume and to remain economically viable . what a shame and since disney hasn not make a decent film since aladdin . i be refer and of course and to the unnecessary musical number and the two high priest and the film comic relief and who be draw grossly out of proportion to the other character . even bad than their unoriginality and however and be the open mockery of ancient egyption religion and culture and which these two character embody . i find their musical number especially appal . on the other hand and it a story in which the protagonist succeed only through a great capacity for cruelty and destruction and the slaughter of innocent child and so it kind of hard to nail down any concrete moral standard here . in general and i think the story be well told and with solid direction and a good script . the only complaint i have about the voice acting be that jeff goldblum unmistakable mannerism seriously distract from his character . i suspect that i wasn not really bother by the others only because i hadn not see a cast list before see the film . i wish they would stop rely on celebrity voice for animated feature . no character can be effective if the viewer can not separate the voice from the actor supply it . the bottom line be and despite any objection and complaint and or concern i might have about this film and despite the moral and religious and or idealogical issue it bring up and and despite the $ 8 and two hour you will spend and this film be worth see . it worth see because of the animation . i hope it set a new standard for feature length animate film . at the very least and i think it will show the movie go public what the medium be capable of .
