3''Moses: Egypt's Great Prince'' is a 1998 DirectToVideo AnimatedMusical made by Creator/UAVEntertainment. It tells the story of the Biblical hero, Moses, and how he freed his people from their lives of slavery.

5As one might easily tell, this film is a [[TheMockbuster mockbuster]] that came out near Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', also adapting the Literature/BookOfExodus.
6----
7!!Tropes:
8* AgeLift: Unlike the Bible, Moses is a teenager when he frees the slaves.
9* AnimatedMusical: As per usual for UAV.
10* ArtShift: We are treated to live-action film of Jerusalem at the end of the movie.
11* BarbieDollAnatomy: None of the shirtless men have visible nipples.
12* CastingGag: In the Japanese dub, it's not the first time Creator/TomokazuSeki (Moses) voices someone who has "God" on his side, except it's named ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam God Gundam]]''.
13* CatsAreMean: Nefer-Kitty.
14* TheChosenOne: Moses.
15* DisproportionateRetribution: Pharaoh orders one of his servants to be burned to a cinder as punishment for serving him burned meat.
16* DistantFinale: The very end, where [[spoiler: Moses sees the Promised Land before his death]].
17* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Nefer-Kitty and Tut, respectively.
18* HeroesLoveDogs: Moses' dog Tut.
19* IHaveNoSon: Pharaoh coldly disinherits Moses when he learns of his true past.
20* JerkAss: Ramses.
21* LighterAndSofter: Than both the Dreamworks movie ''and'' the Biblical account of Moses' life - for one thing, there are no plagues. However, unlike the Dreamworks movie, it does show that [[spoiler: Moses sees the Promised Land but does not reach it.]]
22* RoyalBrat: In contrast to ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', Ramses is intolerably spoiled and has a poor relationship with Moses. He even gets a VillainSong, "Please, Please Ramses," where he gloats about how much he'll enjoy ordering people around as Pharaoh.
23* ToiletHumor: While we don't see anything, Tut clearly urinates on Aaron.
24* VillainSong: Ramses gets one.
25* WalkingShirtlessScene: Nearly all the Egyptian men (except the priests).
26* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When Moses faces Pharaoh and Ramses, Nefer-Kitty's tail is set on fire and she jumps out a window into the Nile. She's surrounded by crocodiles and isn't seen again.
