The Prince of Egypt is actually my first animated DVD. I wasn't sure how it would have come out, but I find that it was amazing! The colors were so vibrant and lively. I didn't see any bleeding or any strange types of image dehancers as I used to see in VHS movies (I have some Disney titles in VHS). Some of the parts that were CG (Computer Graphics) were so realistic and I thought they were filming real people. All in all, this DVD's video amazed me. I may now look into buying more animated DVD's.

This DVD gives The Matrix a run for its money! There are so many ambient sounds it's amazing! Birds fly here and there, whistles come here and there, people chiselling away at stone come from all directions...The absolute best example was at the chariot race. The sound starts from behind you as the picture is black, it's an amazing effect. I remember quite well that in the theater I actually looked back thinking there were horses coming down the aisle. The DVD didn't disappoint. It's so realistic it's almost scary! The thing I like about this movie more than The Matrix was that there were more cool surround effects going on throughout the movie rather than just at one special part.

Ya know, I was kinda surprised at how much stuff they stacked on the DVD. The Special Features menu doesn't seem too big at first, then you realize there are 3 or 4 pages to it! Even neater is that they have neat transitions for each little thing. From the main menu, going to one of the submenus has a little video type of thing that covers the screen then opens up in the new menu...for example, the special features submenu shows doors closing out the main menu and opening up the special features menu. In the Special Features menu, it sways around the different pages like Blade does. This DVD really doesn't disappoint in extras and creativity.
