The first is Moses’ stunning hieroglyph-vision of his own escape as an infant from Pharaoh’s slaughter of innocents, a scene that appears to him as living wall-paintings that he somehow knows really exist somewhere in the palace. This visionary sequence stands with a handful of the greatest scenes in animation film history (others would include Snow White’s flight in the enchanted forest; the mushrooms dancing to Tchaikovsky in Fantasia; Dumbo’s spectacular "Pink Elephants on Parade" number; the "Bella Notte" spaghetti kiss in Lady and the Tramp; and the ballroom sequence in Beauty and the Beast). And second, the climactic parting of the Red Sea — and its subsequent thundering collapse, and that awful moment of stillness with spray hissing on the surface — is surely one of the all-time greatest sequences in the history of film, period. As Roger Ebert wrote, if Cecil B. DeMille could have seen this, he would have gone back to the drawing board.
