Summary: Great job.
Review: I wondered if a family oriented movie, Joseph - King of Dreams that also had a pro religious theme could come out of Dreamworks. Like wouldn't you be suspicious if the present day Disney management did a pro-religious movie? But, J-KOD the cartoon movie is not bad. Certainly i think they made a worthy movie. Only thing is that my kids didn't like it as much as I did. Given the choice, they preferred Joseph and TTDC starring Donnie based on the long running play. And they prefer this version, not because Dreamworks dropped the ball, but because the music is just awesome by comparison. Check out the cartoon version by dreamwokrs as a rental. then checkout the movie based on the play.

Summary: Stands on it's own merits
Review: Like most viewers, I was sceptical of another video-only release sequel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed this movie even more than The Prince of Egypt. The songs & music are of outstanding quality with the single Give A Little More Than You Take being a truly moving & inspiring song. I wish it had been released to the pop charts the way Disney did Can You Feel The Love Tonight & other of their movie-gone-pop-chart songs. At the very least Dreamworks could have marketed a movie songtrack for Joseph, King of Dreams the way they did for Prince of Egypt. This is truly a movie that stands on it's own merits!

Summary: Enchanting and Educational
Review: This enchanting animated epic is a must for the educational experience of every Christian and Jewish child.
It is also wonderful entertainment for adults! It really is a timeless adventure for all ages .
It is different to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat , but just as good . The former being a light-hearted musical , and 'King of Dreams' being an educational and enchanting story.
Furthermore the criticism that God was left out of the story is simply untrue.
It is clear throughout the story that events are being moved by the hand of God.
When Pharaoh queries Joseph's power , Joseph makes it clear to Pharaoh that it is not his power at all but comes from God.
I loved the imagery , for example the use of birds signifying freedom and going far during ""More Than You Take" .
The film is a rollercoaster of emotions , a particularly poignant scene being when Joseph explains to his beautiful young wife Asinath , that the men who he is treating so badly are his brothers (earlier represented as a particularly nasty and sordid bunch) , who cruelly sold him into slavery .
Also pay attention to the small details. In the last scene when Jacob is welcomed by Joseph to Egypt , he is thrilled to see Joseph's two little sons .
Those who know there Bible know that they are , Ephraim and Manasseh who will become great leaders in their own right.
Joseph - King of Dreams is one of the greats of animated movies!

Summary: Joseph -- King of Dreams
Review: One of our family's favourite movies! The dreams are done in an abstract sort of way that needs to be explained to younger children, but the story, the message, the music are all excellent.

Summary: Better than expected.
Review: I will have to completely agree with the review from "father of a two year old from Atlanta Georgia". This is an excellent movie,I enjoyed this one far better than Prince of Egypt, my children (ages eleven and twelve) have claimed this to be one of their favorites. There are many lessons to be learned from this story about pride,jealousy,division,and restoration just to name a few, but the most important thing is that it reminds us that only God can complete and restore the mistakes we have made in life.

Summary: Wonderful Family Movie
Review: I turned this movie on for my children to watch for the first time, and I unintentionally sat and watched the entire movie. It is a wonderful movie.

Summary: A MAJOR Disapointment.
Review: The preview said "from the filmmakers of 'The Prince of Egypt'", so I was interested. But then I saw it. And while "The Prince of Egypt" was a masterpiece of animation, and as a pure movie as well, this is BAD! The songs are mediocre, the voice casting is mediocre, and the animation is only decent, while "The Prince of Egypt" is totally opposite. And don't get me wrong, Ben Affleck is a good actor, but........well, lets just say he should stick to live action. And never take on a singing role again! It's boring, too! The story line doesn't have enough action, and dwells too much on drama, and almost has nothing to do with God, except for a few mentionings of Him. This is too bad, since it is based on a Bible story. Maybe I'm comparing it too much with "The Prince of Egypt", but I stick to my review. Go rent that instead, and if you've already seen it a bunch of times, then see it again; anything's better than waisting your time with this !@#*.

Summary: My son loves this movie...
Review: I bought Joseph - King of Dreams for my son a few weeks ago, because he loved Prince of Egypt. For me, this movie was not even in the same league as Prince of Egypt, but for my son, he thought it was a major triumph again. In this case many liberties have been taken in modifying the stories in the Bible to fit the plot of this movie. However, I think the spirit of the message remains intact. Joseph of course interprets dreams, and the dream sequences that DreamWorks chose to animate are clever and creative. Critically, I think that the animation in this film is not as clear and intricate (in most cases) as in Price of Egypt; also the songs do not stick in your mind. There are not as many big stars in this movie either, although big stars don't always make great movies. In all, I am happy with this purchase because it entertains my son and expresses good moral values through out the movie. Definitely recommended.
