If you have interest in an important historical story or if you have interest in the struggle of mankind against the darker side of ourselves, this is the movie to watch. I like this version of the Ten Commandments story best because it tells more of the story than any previous version. It shows the power of humility over those who think they rule the world. It presents the difficult journey of doing what is right. Regardless of your religious position, that is the lesson we all want our kids to understand. The tone of this movie was a little on the serious side for kids, but I found that to be appropriate. The importance of the story should not be overshadowed by comic side-kicks, climactic sing-a-longs and over-the-top antics of cartoon stereotypes. It's really a new approach to the art cartoons. It assumes that our children have enough maturity to experience a movie for its moral lesson. Imagine that? I look forward to the series that will come out of this film.
