Prince of Egypt
Allowing for artistic licence, it follows the biblical narrative and even informs the viewers helpfully in which Bible book the story can be found. God's name is mentioned frequently and it is clear that Moses' power comes from him. The message is that anything is possible if you believe. In what or whom, however, is not made entirely clear - or at least as clear as it could be.

It is refreshing to see 20th-century Hollywood returning to the Bible to tell a tale of liberation from slavery to freedom. Spielberg's latest film, based on the story of Moses and the Exodus, is a powerful and spectacular animation which is well worth a visit to the cinema, with or without children.
