An inspiring behind the scnes account of a classic tale...

The Prince of Egypt Movie Scrapbook by Thomasine Lewis is an excellent account of the inspiring behind the scenes account for young and old alike about the classic story of Moses as revealed in the Old Testament. The targeted audience in this book is ages 9 to 12 however all ages will enjoy its richly illustrated pages and accompanying text. If the forthcoming (December 1998) animated movie by DreamWorks is as good as this scrapbook indicates then it shall certainly be a truly classic animated movie. Some of the topics covered in this book include the story of how the film was conceived and developed, the voice cast for the movie, the music (which appears to be excellent), creating the design for the movie, the animators, special effects and how all of this was orchestrated into a completed animated movie.Of paraticular interests to those interested in history is the apparent attention to detail the animators have given to the cultures of both ancient Egyptians and the ancient Hebrews. The story appears to closely parallel the account in the Old Testament and also includes some of the best creative conceptulizations of the the other classic Hollywood produced movies based upon the story of Moses and The Ten Commandments.This book will serve as an excellent companion to both the movie, associated printed material and most certianly the forthcoming soundtracks which are scheduled for release in mid-November.Reviewed by Michael C.
