In addition, award-winning visual effects artists from the world of live-action films joined with traditional animation artists to achieve a new level of special effects for an animated feature. New approaches in character and production design give the film a look that is distinctly different from other animated films. The film breaks exciting new ground in animation with such developments as the state-of-the-art exposure tool, developed by DreamWorks and SGI, which allows for the seamless blending of 2-D and 3-D animation. Over 350 artists, animators and technicians from over 35 different countries devoted four years to bringing 'The Prince of Egypt' to the screen. Oscar winner Stephen Schwartz ('Pocahontas') wrote six original songs for the film, and composer Hans Zimmer, an Academy Awardr winner for his work on 'The Lion King,' created the score. It also brings together the vocal talents of Sandra Bullock as Miriam, Danny Glover as Jethro, Jeff Goldblum as Aaron, Steve Martin as Hotep, Helen Mirren as the Queen, Michelle Pfeiffer as Tzipporah, Martin Short as Huy, and Patrick Stewart as Pharaoh Seti. 'The Prince of Egypt' features the voices of Val Kilmer as Moses and Ralph Fiennes as Rameses. Now this timeless story comes to the screen in a new form for audiences of every generation to experience. The epic journey of Moses from slave to prince to deliverer has been told and retold for centuries, inspiring generation after generation. A lie made them brothers - but the truth will destroy a dynasty and forever separate them - in faith - in heritage - in destiny. The other will become one of the greatest heroes of all time. Two men - brothers and princes of the greatest empire on earth.
