The Biblical story of Joseph comes to life in this animated feature from the creators of The Prince of Egypt. Adventure and music set the stage for this tale of a boy named Joseph (voice of Ben Afflec... read more read more...k) whose dreams bring him powerful visions of the future. Joseph's abilities to prognosticate win him a favored position with the Pharaoh of Egypt, but only inflames his contentious relationship with his brothers. Featuring the same top-notch artwork and animation that impressed audiences in The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams also features several original songs sung by Maureen McGovern and Jodi Benson. The film was released directly to home video in the United States, but enjoyed a theatrical release in Europe. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I am 25 and loved this film. The animation is good where a disney animation might be 4 stars this is deserved a 4 star for animation. Cool Film !

    Look at the cast! Ben Affleck? Mark Hamill? Tom Virtue (apparently appearing in every TV show ever made)? Wow! And to think it went straight to DVD, even with Luke Skywalker as the voice of Judah. How much would it suck to have to list "voice of Simeon/Slave-trader" on your... read more resume? ha

    The songs aren't that good. I thought the dream sequences were well thought out and nice to look at. It was okay, if you want to see the story of Joseph.

    The Prince of Egypt was better but still...Dreamworks did a nice job again on the accuaracy according to the Bible.

    This movie had beautiful songs too, and again, when I read the good word,i can't help but think about this movie and his beautiful coat and him being in that ditch. It was so colorful and creative!

    While not quite as good as "Prince of Egypt," this was actually a very good movie. The music was pretty (I especially like "You Know Better Than I"); I wish they had made a soundtrack.

    i actually wish they would have made more of these. it is a good and fun way to learn of the the stories in the bible and kids prefer cartoons to live action a lot of the time.

    This movie might be more accurate than The Prince of Egypt. Still this is a great addition to anyones DVD inventory

A new technical benchmark for straight-to-tape animated features, putting Disney's chintzy home video efforts to shame. Full Review

... fails to bring Joseph and his brothers to life the way Moses and Rameses came to life in The Prince of Egypt. Sappy, run-of-the-mill songs drown out any subtleties.

Once one stops making unfair comparisons to a theatrical film made on a much bigger budget, Joseph: King of Dreams is worthwhile on its own more modest terms. Full Review
