![]() Ramses, by now Pharaoh, is at first happy to see him, but refuses to grant his plea to "let my people go." Felled by plagues that include locusts, boils, frogs, and, finally, the death of the first-born children, Ramses finally agrees. He lives peacefully with nomads, marrying the spirited Tzipporah (voice of Michelle Pfeiffer), until he receives a message from God, telling him that he must return to Egypt and free the slaves. Ramses promises to pardon him, but Moses runs away. Struggling with his new understanding, he impulsively pushes aside a guard who is beating a slave, and the guard falls to his death. But Moses learns that he was born a slave and that the man he loves and respects as his father, the Pharaoh Seti (voice of Patrick Stewart), once ordered the murder of the slave babies. The movie takes some liberties with the story, with Moses (voice of Val Kilmer) and Ramses (voice of Ralph Fiennes) raised as brothers who love each other deeply. ![]() Dreamworks SKG's first animated feature is a respectful retelling of the story of Moses.
