Rameses was a good boy who wanted nothing but to please his father, and that somehow stayed true to the end of the movie, even though his intentions became so twisted that he attempted to commit genocide of an entire race, including a man who he grew up with as a brother. Before realizing his true identity, Moses was a selfish, arrogant prince who frequently caused chaos and distress to his own people for fun. The character development, especially those of Moses and Rameses, is evident throughout the film. With the little minor changes, it still tells the story of Moses but also adapted so that younger children may watch it without getting bored. A good thing about this movie is the way that it tells the story of Moses with accuracy, with only a few minor changes, like Moses finding out about his true identity through an encounter with his true sister Miriam and brother Aaron, who are working as slaves, while in the Bible it states that "But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren". He eventually succeeds, after using God's power to unleash plagues on to the Egyptians after their Pharaoh, Moses' adoptive brother Ramses, initially refuses.

He starts a family before God comes to him and tells him that it is up to him to save his people from their status as slaves to the Egyptians. Moses, a Hebrew raised as an arrogant, pompous Egyptian prince, discovers his true identity as a young adult and leaves the place he once called home.
