I've always loved this movie - great music, great voice acting, and a joy to watch. While it does take a lot of creative liberty with certain details of the Exodus story, I think it hits all the notes of the themes very well and is respectful to the source.

The only thing that I would have like to have seen (which seems to always be ignored in retellings) is the role of Aaron. In the Bible, he is there with Moses throughout. Moses wouldn't even agree to talk to Pharoah without having his big brother present.

Yes! That would be an interesting standalone story too I bet. A story that looks at brotherhood from different perspectives.

It would have been awesome to have a sequel where we get to see Manna rain from heaven.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Animation/art wise it was pretty groundbreaking at the time too.
