Don't you think it should be a "historically correct" film, Rick?
You know like "Prince of Egypt"?
Norm, are you being facetious or finally willing to admit this film is truly "historically correct"? Have you seen the short documentary on the making of Prince of Egypt (DVD released version)? In it Spielberg who is Jewish is interviewed, and expresses that he wanted this film to be historically accurate in every respect. Scholars throughout the world worked with Mr. Spielberg and company to ensure the film's historical integrity. That is why it is an excellent film for young children, because they are both being entertained and given a lesson in history.
I want to point out that just because a film is animated (artistically, beautifully so!) does NOT mean it's not "historically correct"! This especially holds true with this excellent film.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
