Moses (The Prince of Egypt)

Moses ben Amram (born 1334 BC in Goshen, Egypt; died 1214 BC on Mount Nebo in Moab (present-day Jordan)) is the titular main protagonist of DreamWorks Animation's 2nd full-length animated feature film The Prince of Egypt, a retelling of the Biblical Book of Exodus and it's musical. He is the second son and youngest child of Yocheved, the younger brother of Aaron and Miriam, the adoptive son of Pharaoh Seti and Queen Tuya, the adoptive younger brother of Rameses, the husband of Tzipporah and the son-in-law of Jethro.
He was voiced by Val Kilmer and Amick Bryam (singing).
==Why He Freed The Hebrews==
#This portrayal of Moses is very respectful for the Book of Exodus. For instance, he says “Let my people go!”
# Val Kilmer and Amick Bryam did great jobs voicing him.
#He has great character development. As a young man, he learned that he is actually a Hebrew and decided to leave Egypt. At Midian, he met Jethro and God. He went back to Egypt to convince Rameses to free his people from slavery. He eventually freed the Hebrews from Rameses after the ten plagues hit, which include the Nile being turned into blood, swarms of frogs, lice and flies, death of the Egyptian livestock, boils, fiery hail, locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn sons of the Egyptians.
#He is well-animated and designed.
#Moses started off wearing an Egyptian styled wig and loincloth, but later cast it aside in place of going along with his natural hair and wearing much more clothing like.
#Whereas early DreamWorks Animation characters are comedic, Moses is more dramatic for a good change.
#He uses his quick thinking to save Tzipporah from getting recaptured, allowing her to escape/ He also does the same thing when he rescues her little sisters from thieves. Also, he never takes up arms against Egypt, instead putting his trust in God.
#He tries his best to convince Rameses to let his people go and even think about his son.
#He has plenty of heartwarming moments, such as where he sings “All I Ever Wanted” or when he freed the slaves.
#At the very end, he goes to Mount Sinai and holds the Ten Commandments.
==Bad Qualities ==
#He accidentally killed an Egyptian guard even though Moses wanted the elderly Hebrew man to be safe. In the Bible, he deliberately killed him.
#He humiliated Tzipporah by letting go of the rope she's pulling on, causing her to fall backward into a pool of water.
#When Miriam tries to tell him she is her family and is not the Prince of Egypt, he was in denial and refused to believe her story, even threatens to have her arrested until Miriam sings their mother's lullaby.
#The film he originated from is borderline PG-13 and doesn’t shy away from slavery and the plagues. This may be a good thing because he isn’t sugarcoated.
#The very ending doesn’t make a hint of the Golden Calf.
