Joseph: King Of Dreams retells the story of how a boy's extraordinary gift of seeing the future in his dreams sparks a deep division in his family. The youngest of eleven brothers, Joseph is seen as his father's favorite.
Jealous of this preferential treatment, the brothers sell Joseph to slave traders who take him against his will to the exotic world of ancient Egypt. Uprooted from his home, Joseph is suddenly thrown into a new life filled with high adventure, hidden intrigue and blossoming romance.

There's the spoiled sibling who is the envy of his brothers. They betray him and sell him as a slave. The film's criticisms are very few. The story while quite faithful to the story is a little choppy in places, but manages to be compelling enough in others. In its defence though, I have always felt the biblical story one of the less interesting stories in the Bible, but that is probably just me.
There are also one or two moments when the character development is a little shallow, primarily with Joseph's brothers-Joseph was a very convincing and fleshed out protagonist- and the ending is perhaps abrupt.
All these problems are probably disadvantaged by one major factor, the film for me is too short. However, there is so much to recommend. The animation is superb, the background art is audacious, and the fluidity of the character movements is evident. I loved the look of Joseph's coat, and how the animators animated his dreams. I also think the music is under-appreciated, as I really liked the songs.
The characters are good, Joseph is convincing as a protagonist, especially in the latter half of the film, and Asenath is one of the more vivacious female characters in a non-Disney animated movie.
She reminds me a bit of Tzipporah and Chel. And the voices were well done, quite the opposite. I don't normally care for Ben Affleck, but he wasn't that bad here.
Going on a tangent, people complained of Matt Damon being dull in Spirit and I not only really liked the film but I thought Damon was good. If I had any thoughts on who voice acted better, I think Affleck was slightly better. Jodi Benson proves what a wonderful voice actress she is by providing a strong and emphatic persona for Asenath, and Mark Hamill is great as Judah. In conclusion, this is a good film, not perfect, but it is underrated.
