"Where's your Moses now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a Lower East Side gangster. Robinson), are forgetting their religion and behaving like libertines. Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous Dathan (Edward G. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments. Later, Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. But Moses rescues his people with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. As the Hebrews reach the Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. Only after the Deadly Plagues have decimated Egypt does Rameses give in.
Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses (Yul Brynner), Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Moses (Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such construction-site advice as "Blood makes poor mortar"), but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people.
The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. The characters are still likable as they were in the previous films and the voice acting including Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Sacha Barom Cohen, and others, is solid, but the animation comes across as the best aspect of the entire special.Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, The Ten Commandments was the last film directed by Cecil B. Some of the jokes aren't nearly as funny as the films' humor, but I was given a chuckle here and there.
The storyline is predictable, bit it had some sweet romantic moments with the main and minor characters, especially the romance between Gloria & Melman which was really cute. OK, it's not an excellent special by any means, but it's pretty good. The original wasn't excellent, but it was pretty good fun, Escape 2 Africa was an improvement over the first, but Madagascar 3 was even better! So, when I heard that a valentine's day special was made for the franchise, I watched it online and enjoyed it.
