The Ten Commandments

Ten stories, full of life and humor, highlight the moral and interior needs of the "ten words" that God gave to man. The protagonists are five children, the goat Yobel and Fra Jacopone, an extraordinary friar who knows how to lead, with intelligence and wit, the children to discover in everyday facts the deepest meaning of the Decalogue, which is summarized in the one commandment of love.

Directed by Sergio Manfio, The Ten Commandments leans on a strong ensemble — Renata Bertolas, Oliviero Corbetta, Donatella Fanfani — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2000.
