The Prince of Egypt became the top grossing non-Disney animated film until 2000 when it was out-grossed by the stop motion film Chicken Run (another DreamWorks film). The film also remained the highest grossing traditionally-animated non-Disney film until 2007, when it was out-grossed by The Simpsons Movie. This is DreamWorks Animation's first film and only traditionally animated film to win an Oscar. It has a direct-to-video prequel Joseph: King of Dreams.
