...Moses, a project very dear to Katzenberg's heart. Katzenberg is hoping his Bible epic will be enough of a critical and commercial success to prove he actually did play a crucial role in the making of such Disney animated hits as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King--all released while he ran the Disney roost...
