From Amazon.com
As the millennium turns, the crazed trend to produce direct-to-video sequels swells. Very few of these sequels are inspired, although most do not harm their origins. One might understandably pick up something labeled "from the makers of The Prince of Egypt with trepidation. Happily, the makers leave Moses alone and tell the tale of another Bible star, Joseph, known for his coat of many colors and a fantastic destiny. Joseph (voiced by Ben Affleck), his father's favorite son, is sold into slavery by his jealous half-brothers. After years of struggle, Joseph rises to be the Pharaoh's trusted adviser when his gift for interpreting dreams pays dividends. The 78-minute feature is rich in color and features several strong songs ("Better Than I" is the standout) written by newcomer John Bucchino. The film's religious elements are secondary, yet its heart is in the right spot--a most agreeable stance for a wider audience. Prince was designed as an "event" movie and suffered in the hype and marketing. With lower aims, Joseph is a more satisfying film and even invites the unexpected: we're ready for the next "sequel." --Doug Thomas

 Exceptional!!!!!!!!!! March 2, 2004
I was not expecting this movie to be as good as Prince of Egypt, but like the first review that I read, I think it is as good if not better than Prince of Egypt. The picture is vibrant and wonderful, the story is as close to the true story as possible, and the songs are absolutely WONDERFUL. My children loves this movie. It is a great story about forgiveness, love, and faith. I was suprised to find that Ben Affleck was the voice for Joseph. Although he is not my favorite actor he does a WONDERFUL job as the voice of Joseph. Much better than Matt Damon as the voice in Dreamworks movie "Spirit". Buy this movie, you will not be disappointed and your family will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish they had done more advertising for this movie and it had received more attention. It deserves it. I hope that Dreamworks does more films like this of the stories in the Bible!
This Film Builds Character February 12, 2004
This is great movie for children to watch. This is one of the most beloved Bible stories. It teaches humility, forgiveness, the difference between rational and irrational thought, perseverance, nobility, determination and compassion. It could make adults cry and feel indignation, but if seen with a child's perspective one could grasps the deeper meaning of love.
 Nice movie but defective DVD December 12, 2003
The movie appears to be interesting. I'm writing "appears" as
I didn't get the chance to actually see all the movie as the
DVD was defective and stopped working on chapter 14th
(I tried two DVD readers).
I exchanged the DVD with a new one but I had the same
problem so I returned the second one too and asked for
the money I spent. My guess is that there is some
sort of issue when the DVD reader tries to switch
layer (it is a dual-layer DVD) but it is just a guess.
Great Family Entertainment October 27, 2003
This film has gorgeous animations, great voice acting, and the music is awesome. It is a musical, so steer clear if you don't like that sort of thing. This movie brings up sibling rivalry and how to forgive someone who has really hurt you. It is about the Joseph in the book of Genesis (in the bible). Rachel, Joseph's mother, was thought to be barren, so Joseph was a miracle child. Leigh was the mother of the other eleven brothers, so Jacob let them do all of the work while Joseph studied scrolls inside. The brothers began to envy Joseph with a passion because Jacob gave Joseph a magnificent coat that only the wealthy would wear, showing that Joseph was better than the rest of them. Joseph wants to fit in with his brothers, but they end up only getting angry at him. Jacob realizes that Joseph has prophetic dreams, and it angers Joseph's brothers when Joseph tells them of a dream in which all of his brothers' stalks of wheat bow down to him. They decide to sell Joseph as a slave to Egypt. Joseph has hard feelings for his brothers, but in the end all is resolved. It is an excellent movie and I highly recommend it.
one of the best cartoon feature-lenght; emotional film October 5, 2003
Joseph- king of dreams" is surprisingly an exceptional movie, rank up there with other top-notch cartoons like Beauty & the beast, Prince of Egypt, Mulan , Pocahontas, etc. This movie is released surprisingly, only via direct-to-video and not theatrically shown. Joseph- king of dreams works on a variety of levels. The story itself, naturally a heartwarming, moving, personal story extracted from the bible. The animation apparently, has a high production value, with decent amount of budget allocation. The music or songs, are in my opinion are one of the highlights and high points of the film such as "Better than I", which I think is beautifully made & the song itself has an appropriately christian tune with excellent lyrics memorably written. Also the other songs are all top quality (Ive forgotten their titles)like the first or opening song and the other one is also commendable. Not even Disney has churn out a group of excellent songs for a movie that are all exceptionally memorable. The film itself, like the songs is a high point. It is very well-crafted , memorable to watch & the film itself is inspiring and emotional. A great movie to own & should belong on the top of your shelf. Highly recommended.
