Moses, voiced by Val Kilmer, is the main protagonist and titular character of DreamWorks' second animated full length feature film, The Prince of Egypt.
Background[]
As a baby, Moses' mother sent him down the Nile River. The pharoah at the time, Seti I, ordered the execution of all Hebrew boys in fear of them rising up. Fearing for her son's life, Moses was set down the Nile River, where he was found by Queen Tuya and a child Rameses. Seti and Tuya took Moses in and raised him as their own son.

Trivia[]

- He is the first protagonist related to the main antagonist, who is his adoptive brother, Rameses.
- Is based on the character of the same name from the Bible.
Difference from the source material[]
- The two pharoahs are unnamed in the original story and unrelated to Moses. In the film, the first pharoah was identified as Seti and the second pharoah is named Rameses II and they are Moses' adoptive father and brother. For the latter, it makes it personal between the two brothers.
- By the time Moses returns to Egypt in the original story, he and Tzipporah have two sons,Gershom and Eliezer. However, in the film, they have yet to have their children
