Why It's Great

 * 1) The story is incredibly powerful, both in its scope and the relationship between Moses and Rameses.
 * 2) The animation is gorgeous.
 * 3) The soundtrack is absolutely perfect. Each song is beautiful and wonderful to listen to, whether it be "Deliver Us", "Through Heaven's Eyes", "Playing with the Big Boys Now", "The Plagues", or "When You Believe", the latter of which got this film won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
