Here is the trailer for the movie if you would like to learn more: https://www.google.com/search?q=the+prince+of+egypt+trailer&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS772US772&oq=the+prince+of+Egypt+trailer&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j0i22i30i395l3j0i390i395i650l2j69i61.7501j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Parents: The Common Sense Media movie review* recommends this movie for those 8 and above with the following concerns, "There are scenes of enslaved people being whipped, hit, and verbally and physically abused. Hieroglyphic art shows babies being thrown into crocodile-infested waters. Moses kills an overseer of enslaved people." The movie is rated PG, not G. If parents would like to see clips of the actual scenes mentioned, you can click on the links below. * https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-prince-of-egypt
