I watched this on Instant Netflix. This is a Dreamworks animated film. As I watched there were a couple things that struck me, first is I really didn't enjoy the art. They tried many times, especially with the dreams, to give it a Van Gogh flavor. The people were all long and angular, mostly skinny and tall (except the bread maker who was killed.) The other thing I kept saying to myself is, I prefer the music from Andrew Lloyd Webber's version more. (Donnie Osmond singing "Close Every Door to Me" gives me goosebumps.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVWpgmiIbas&feature=fvsr
However, this movie did get to me in the end. I think that is because of the story of forgiveness and family. These win out over Joseph's anger towards his brothers. This is a story that is timeless.
I had an interesting religious experience at the end of this movie. Joseph was a true prophet, and was prepared to save his family. Israel, his father, likewise was a patriarch and a true religious man.
