  7. PRINCE OF EGYPT Dreamworks Picture December 1998

  8. CHARACTER

  9. Moses Born to a Hebrew woman during a time when all male babies were to be thrown into the Nile, Moses was rescued by the Queen of Egypt and raised a prince. When he finds out the truth, however, Moses leaves his princely ways to become a prophet of God and delivers his Hebrew brothers from the tyranny of Egypt. Rameses Crual and stubborn, Rameses was born the heir to the Egyptian throne. Afraid of becoming the "weak link" his father warns him about, Rameses stubbornly refuses to free the Hebrew slaves even after God sends multiple plagues upon his land including one that costs him his first born son.

  10. Mirium After witnessing the departure of her baby brother as a child, she grew just as oppressed as all Hebrews and filled with hope that her young brother would return to her and deliver them too. Eventually, she is able to give Moses knowledge of his true heritige. Aaron who is strong and eloquant that does Moses' handywork in freeing the Hebrews. However, Tzipporah's line "You're just one man" as well as Moses' body language seem to indicate that Dreamworks gave Moses the strong role and so Aaron's character is yet unknown. Queen She discovered Moses as an infant and raised him in the royal ways to be a prince of Egypt just as her own son, Rameses.

  11. Tzipporah Moses' wife and mother to his children, she is strong and musically inclined as evidenced by her duet with Mirium, "When You Believe." Jethro Moses' father-in-law when he marries Tzipporah, Jethro's daughter. His wise and kind side (he seems to have no other) shines through in his song, "Through Heaven's Eyes." Pharoh Seti Cruel and oppressive, the pharoh of Egypt is also proud and powerful. He rules Egypt with an iron fist.

  12. Two men -- brothers and princes of the greatest empire on earth. One will someday rule Egypt. The other will become one of the greatest heroes of all time. A lie made them brothers - but the truth will destroy a dynasty and forever separate them - in faith - in heritage - in destiny. In their exodus from Egypt, thousands of Hebrews, freed at last from slavery, come to the Red Sea

  13. Moses on ground tries to cheer his brother Rameses, (sitting on idol) after they are reprimanded by their father the Pharaoh The epic journey of Moses from slave to prince to deliverer has been told and retold for centuries, inspiring generation after generation. Now this timeless story comes to the screen in a new form for audiences of every generation to experience.

  14. Yocheved sings her last lullaby to her infant son as she sets him adrift in a basket on the Nile River to save him from the Pharaoh's terrible edict "My son, I have nothing I can give, but this chance that you may live." With these words, Yocheved, a Hebrew mother, places her infant son in a basket and sets him adrift on the Nile River. His sister Miriam follows him along the riverbank to ensure its safety. After a perilous journey, the basket floats near the royal palace, where it is spotted by the Queen. As she approaches the basket with her young son nearby, she marvels at the beautiful infant boy inside. She names the baby Moses and adopts him as her own.

  15. The Queen discovers a basket floating on the Nile River Moses is raised in the opulence of the royal palace along with Rameses, whom he believes to be his older brother. The two grow very close, enjoying the playfulness of youth and building a powerful and deep friendship. One day as the two careen through the city streets in their chariots, they accidentally destroy a nearby temple, angering their father, the Pharaoh Seti. He is particularly disappointed in Rameses, whose conduct as the future Pharaoh is held up to greater scrutiny. Moses immediately takes the blame for the incident and pleads with his father not to hold Rameses responsible.

  16. That night as Moses returns to his room, he discovers that Tzipporah has escaped. Intrigued by the rebellious girl, he follows her through the Hebrew settlement of Goshen where he comes upon his true siblings, Miriam and Aaron. Believing that Moses has returned to help them, Miriam reveals to Moses the truth about his identity, that he is the son of a Hebrew slave. Shocked and dismayed, Moses refuses to believe her and flees back to the palace. That night he has a nightmare about the slaughter of the newborn Hebrews many years ago. Moses races his brother Rameses through the city in a chariot

  17. As Moses trudges through the desert, he removes the trappings of his palace life. He is caught in a blinding sandstorm, but is eventually rescued by a mischievous camel and finds himself in a Midianite village, where he encounters Tzipporah and her family. Jethro, Tzipporah's father and the High Priest of Midian, welcomes him into their tribe. As the years pass, Moses and Tzipporah fall in love and build a contented life as humble shepherds. One day as Moses goes in search of a wayward sheep, he comes across an unearthly sight -- a burning bush that is not consumed by the flames. To Moses' amazement, he hears the voice of God, calling upon him to return to Egypt and free the Hebrew people.

  18. Filled with purpose, Moses returns to Egypt, where he discovers that with the passing of years the Pharaoh Seti has died and Rameses has become Pharaoh. Rameses is overjoyed by his brother's return. But when Moses tells him about his mission to free the Hebrew slaves, Rameses reacts with disbelief and scorn. Though Moses tries to convince Rameses of God's power, Rameses is unimpressed. He responds to Moses' demands by doubling the workload of the slaves. Through the guidance of his sister Miriam, Moses summons the courage to confront Rameses again. But Rameses refuses to comply even when he sees the Nile river turned to blood before his eyes.

  19. Finally, as Moses warned Rameses, God brings a series of plagues to overrun the land. Although the Egyptian people become more and more afflicted by disease, famine and pestilence, Rameses refuses to give in. That night, God speaks to Moses, warning him of one final plague. Recognizing the terrible danger, Moses goes to Rameses one last time to plead for the release of the Hebrews. Again, Rameses refuses. That night the Angel of Death kills all the Egyptian firstborn, including Rameses' young son. Moses is overwhelmed with grief at the enormity of this last plague, but Rameses rejects his sympathy and angrily orders, "Take your people and go."

  20. Moses leads the Hebrews out of Egypt, but as they reach the shores of the Red Sea they spot the Egyptian army in the distance. Moses calls to God, and the Pillar of Fire emerges from the sea and arches over the Hebrews to block the army's path. Calling on God's power once more, Moses then plants his staff in the water. Suddenly, the mighty Red Sea parts, revealing an incredible path between two towering walls of water. As the Hebrews travel through the parted Sea, the pillar of fire dissolves and Rameses commands his troops to follow them. But soon the powerful waters begin to crash down on the Egyptian army as Rameses watches helplessly from shore. Moses and the Hebrews continue to cross and safely reach the other side a free people.

  21. As the light of dawn descends on Mount Sinai, an older Moses stands, stone tablets in his arms, poised to deliver the Ten Commandments to the Hebrew people. THE END

  22. What a wonderful movie! Not only was it true, but also animated extremely well. Our group so glad a movie was made based on the Bible. It was definitely an inspiration to anyone who saw the movie. Keep it up DreamWorks. The Prince of Egypt definitely rocked the big screen!!!!!

  23. When You Believe Lyrics & Music: Stephen SchwartzPerformed by: Sally Dworsky & Michelle Pfeiffer Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains Long before we knew we could There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail It's hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will You will when you believe In this time of fear When prayer so often proved in vain Hope seemed like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here With heart so full I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say
