The creators of The Ten Commandments, Promenade Pictures USA and Huhu Studios New Zealand, have come together to produce an exciting series of animated movies and accompanying books filled with adventure, supernatural power and a gentle sense of humor, www.epicstoriesofthebible.com. The Ten Commandments, releasing in theatres October 19th 2007, tells the story of Moses, the reluctant leader, who in the midst of trials and danger finds the strength to lead his people to freedom.

God’s promise to the Children of Israel was that he would deliver them out of the land of Egypt. A nation that at one time had been a place of refuge…but now was a place of great misery and bondage. To deliver the Israelites, God calls the most unlikely of people to help free his children from slavery and lead them into the Promised Land…Moses.

You will relive one of the most incredible stories in history as one man with the awesome power of God is able to victoriously stand against a mighty nation. Feel the internal battles that Moses endured as he struggled against the proud Pharaoh…and with his own people, the children of Israel, as they made their way to the Promised Land.

In a Kaleidoscope of words and pictures you will be drawn into the life and times of one of the Bible’s greatest heroes, Moses.
