The Ten Commandments also borrows freely from the 1956 DeMille film of the same name starring Charlton Heston, such as casting a minor biblical figure named Dathan (here Lee Tockar; Edward G. Robinson in DeMille) as the ringleader in the Israelites’ doubts and grumblings, and especially in the golden calf incident. (The character design of Dathan even owes something to Robinson.) Stealing from DeMille, though, seems less egregious than stealing from The Prince of Egypt, in part because DeMille is less accessible and less familiar to the young target audience than the deservedly well-known DreamWorks film.
