Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Being bathed by several villagers, Moses comments on them having washed every inch of his body, but then surprisingly reacts to them finding one more place. We then briefly see him embarrassedly standing there with a small cloth/towel covering his groin area until a robe is put around him.

Violence & Gore

We see several instances of slaves being whipped (sometimes repeatedly and with great vigor) and see others who have whip scar marks on their backs.

Profanity

Moses has a dream that shows him and other characters as hieroglyphics come to life on wall paintings. In it, we see him being chased by soldiers, as well as those soldiers stealing crying infants from their mothers. We later see the final (nonmoving) hieroglyphic that depicts infants being dropped into a river where they sink down toward the waiting, open jaws of two crocodiles (that image may be unsettling to younger kids).

A prolonged scene where the plague (in the form of a ghostly, whitish vapor) comes from the sky, wisps in and around the Egyptian and Hebrew homes, and apparently kills many people (we hear the last gasp from several victims and see a young arm fall lifelessly to the ground) may be very scary or unsettling to younger kids.
