The Ten Commandments is a feature length animated film about the story of Moses (Christian Slater) and the bible’s story of Exodus. It starts with the circumstances of his birth, which lead to his mother building a reed boat and set him on the river Nile where Pharaoh’s daughter finds him and makes him her son. We watch Moses grow into adulthood and as he finds out, he is a son of slaves instead of a prince of Egypt. Ramses (Alfred Molina) discovers his secret and has him exiled from Egypt. Once in the desert Moses discovers his destiny as God’s (Elliott Gould) liberator of the Jews from slavery. Moses’ journey of discovery, his return to Egypt, and the battle to free his people highlights the later half of the film.
