  Filmtracks: The Prince of Egypt (Hans Zimmer)
The Prince of Egypt: (Hans Zimmer) This is Zimmer's second Middle Eastern score in his last three efforts, and even though it was composed for a completely different genre of film, The Prince of Egypt expands thematically on the same Zimmer styles heard in The Peacemaker.
The Prince of Egypt: (Hans Zimmer/Stephen Schwartz) This is my favorite Zimmer score and I consider it to be one of the best scores for an animated picture in recent history (number 1 is of course, guess who?, Beauty and the Beast).
With The Prince of Egypt, Zimmer has created a extremely powerful and thematically rich score, which is certain on an Academy-Award level, although I have to give the 1998 Oscar for "Best Original Comedy or Musical Score" (nice expression, isn't it?) to Goldsmith's Mulan with The Prince of Egypt being a close second.

 The Tech - Movie Review: The Prince of Egypt
This story, about a young prince who is exiled after a tragic incident, tries to rebuild his life away from home, and then triumphantly returns, reborn as a true leader, is not made by Disney, and should not be called The Zion King.
Seriously speaking, and ignoring for the moment all the Disney/DreamWorks rivalry (Prince is a brainchild of ex-mousekeeter Jeffrey Katzenberg, who became the head cheese at DreamWorks), this film declares its intentions from the opening screen with the disclaimer about faithfulness to the spirit rather then the letter of the Biblical source.
Ultimately, however, the differences don't matter, since The Prince of Egypt works best when it's the simplest when it is merely a tale of two brothers (here, foster brothers), pharaoh-to-be Rameses (voiced by Ralph Fiennes) and prophet-to-be Moses (Val Kilmer).

The Prince of Egypt relentlessly reminded me of those pious lessons except for one detail: the producers fiddled with the story to make it more acceptable to those who don't subscribe to the Old Testament.
