The Oscar-winning, box office hit of the late 90s, the kids movie musical that moved audiences around the world, the “Passover movie” of all Passover movies…is coming back to the big screen! After 25 years, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT celebrates its anniversary this year. Since its release in 1998, this animated classic has astounded viewers, viewers of all religions, with its epic adaptation of the Book of Exodus. Take a trip down memory lane and follow Moses’ powerful transformation from Egyptian prince to the chosen one of the Hebrews. Feast your eyes on the extraordinary, hand-drawn animation and breathtaking moments, from the Ten Plagues of Egypt to Moses parting the Red Sea. Featuring the voice talent of Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, and so many more acclaimed actors, this mesmerizing musical will forever go down as one of the most iconic, non-Disney animated films of all time.
In this family-friendly event – taking place just two weeks before Passover – PJFM encourages all children and parents to come early for arts and crafts, food, and storytime preceding the film. Singing is encouraged, but not required!
THE PRINCE OF EGYPT is rated PG for intense depiction of thematic elements.
