Dreamworks made this film after their runaway success with another Biblical movie: "The Prince of Egypt." That film was an amazing film, both in story and in its groundbreaking animation and wonderful music.
This film, however, while it still retains the great storyline that the Bible will always give, fails on all other levels. The voices aren't that great, the music is boring, the animation is ho-hum, and it all comes together rather sloppily. Worst of all, this movie is screaming the fact that it's a follow-up of "Prince of Egypt." Sure, watch this film once for its great themes on forgiveness. Also watch this if you have little kids, who won't mind the mediocre talent behind this piece. After that, rewatch "The Prince of Egypt" and enjoy it some more, because it's really a lot, lot better than this little creation.
