The story of Moses provides the backdrop for this feature-length animated musical featuring six new songs written by lyricist Stephen ('POCAHONTAS') Schwartz. The story recounts how Moses was set adrift in a basket on the Nile as a baby, only to be adopted by the Queen of Egypt and raised as a prince. Moses' close, brotherly relationship with Rameses, the heir to the throne, is shattered when he learns the truth about his heritage. He flees into the desert, where he sheds all vestiges of his past life and is reborn as a simple shepherd. He undergoes his last, profound transformation when he encounters God, who chooses him to be the deliverer of the Hebrews. In the end, Moses leads his people through the parted Red Sea to freedom. Featured among the vocal talent are Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sandra Bullock.
