Ben Affleck stars in DreamWorks’ straight-to-video follow-up to The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams. Based on the biblical account, the story follows Joseph (a child of prodigy), whose brothers grow jealous of him and sell him into slavery, but Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams soon draws the attention of the Pharaoh. Unfortunately, the animation quality is really a step down; though it keeps to the same design style and coloring as The Prince of Egypt. The music too is rather unremarkable, and is at best functional. Suffering from a clear lack of ambition, Joseph: King of Dreams is a disappointing and mediocre animated film.

I watched Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat last night and then found this film on netflix. It was a relatively good animation and followed the original story well.

Despite the lower quality animation, this was still fairly enjoyable. The script and songs were decent.

The movie is OK. The animation was nice Relative to the period that the movie came out. Fun way to teach the Bible to the children

This movie lacked the drive it needed to truly stand out. Having read the original passage, there’s so much more material that could’ve been utilized to create a stronger film. While it takes several creative liberties the same way it's predecessor did, it doesn’t come close to the level of storytelling achieved by The Prince of Egypt. The Prince of Egypt excels at building its world and characters, leading to a far more satisfying conclusion, and it effectively leverages the source material to its advantage. Overall, it’s a decent movie, but after watching The Prince of Egypt, I expected much more, 6.29/10
