After four years of leading his people through the desert--southern California can get as dry as the Sinai--Jeffrey Katzenberg has delivered his tablets of celluloid. Percolating with biblical scholarship and Hollywood showmanship, burdened with more ambitions and pricey hopes than any movie since Titanic, The Prince of Egypt means to tell the most imposing old fable using the most sophisticated forms of animation.

Of course, film societies would give rise to more of these lovely, day-long, celluloid organisms, but Harvard hasn't seen a healthy film soc community since the days of helping out a friend's rough first time with PCP or protesting for more extensive breakfast meal plans ( read: the '70s). something more to spend those new UC funds...
