	Movies - Joseph: King of Dreams

Joseph: King of Dreams is an DreamWorks animated film based on the story of Joseph in the Bible. It tells the story of a boy with an extraordinary gift of seeing visions of the future who is born to a family with twelve sons. Joseph is the favorite of his father, Jacob, inciting his brothers' jealousy and hatred. When Joseph receives a beautiful coat from his parents, his brothers hate him even more and are driven to sell him to desert merchants who take him to Egypt. There he is made the servant of a wealthy Egyptian who misunderstands him and has him thrown into prison. There he shows his God-given gift by interpreting the dreams of two other prisoners. Eventually, the Pharaoh begins to be plagued by dreams and sends for Joseph, who interprets them and saves Egypt in the process. He is made second in command to Pharaoh, and has most of Egypt's grain stored. But soon his brothers arrive in Egypt to buy food because of famine, and he must try to forgive them. Joseph: King of Dreams is directed by Rob LaDuca and by Robert C. Ramirez. It is the prequel to The Prince of Egypt
, also by DreamWorks. Jeffrey Katzenberg is excecutive producer, as he was in "The Prince of Egypt". Maybe the next film in the series of classics as it was said in the theatrical trailer of the film about Joseph, will be about king David?
