The Prince of Egypt/YMMV

"I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously, Who is like you, Oh LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness? You in your mercy have led forth the people whom you have redeemed I will sing! I will sing! I will sing!"
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: From the source. Ramses in Ten Commandments is more villainous and doesn't care for Moses. In this version, Ramses is raised as being Moses's brother, and acts much more... brotherly to Moses, even hugging him after he went missing.
 * God. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
 * Complete Monster: Pharaoh Seti the First is one of the most evil villains ever to appear in a Dreamworks film. He oppresses the Israelites and forces them to work as slaves for him, sends men to massacre their children, and when Moses learns about this all he has to say is "they were only slaves".
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: As a musical, the film contains many songs of both emotional and artistic resonance, and has earned several awards for its soundtrack. Special mention goes to Ofra Haza who voiced Yocheved, Moses's mother, and sang the opening song ("Deliver Us") in seventeen different languages for the various dubs of the film, including her native Hebrew,
 * Again, the multi-lingual "When You Believe" should get a mention.
 * For some context, the song sung in Hebrew by a children's choir as the Hebrews left Egypt is a translation of Miriam's song from the Bible:


 * "The Plagues" deserves mention for combining the deeply personal rift between Moses and Ramses with the wrath of God unleashed upon Egypt.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight:
 * Ralph Fiennes, as Ramses, both mocking Moses for his snake-charming and directing his priests to do the same thing. Flash-forward to a certain snake-like (and snake-owning) villain...
 * Helen Mirren is cast as Pharaoh Seti's unnamed wife, who's listed in the credits as simply "The Queen". Then in 2006, eight years after this movie came out, Mirren won her first Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II in...The Queen.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Ramses.
 * Magnum Opus: For DreamWorks.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Seti crosses this when he tries to rationalize slaughtering all the Hebrew babies, starting off with the line, "Oh, my son, they were only slaves." It's this that causes Moses (and the audience) to lose any possible respect for him.
 * Ramses sees the death of the Firstborns as this for Moses, as it isn't until after the 10th plague that he actually attacks the Hebrews.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: The Pillar of Fire and the parting of the Red Sea easily rival anything seen in live action films and God, in the form of the Burning Bush, still looks amazing.
