The Ten Commandments
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
I loved that animation when it came out on DVD (remember DVDs). The theme “When you Believe” is beautiful (Whitney Houston’s troubled life aside- the lady could sing – she is still a favourite. A magnificent voice). And of course the Ten Commandments, was always a favourite classic.
I think Dreamwork Studios (Spielberg) produced The Prince of Egypt. It goes to show we are a long way from 22 years ago. You wouldn’t find an animation studio producing a Bible Story on a steaming service today. It’s a shame really. So many stories in the Bible are epic stories waiting to be told.
