JOSEPH: KING OF DREAMS (Video Release USA 2000)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Joseph: King of Dreams—animated version of the Joseph story—covers the basic Biblical Joseph story adequately, but is not the best in its class. It serves as a child’s fill-in-some-spare-time movie.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. It’s a good review of the life events of the Biblical Joseph, but a better view is Prince of Egypt.
