One of dreamworks best
You also must watch it Basil The Great Mouse Detective (1986), one of my movies from my childhood
Ohhh! I'm looking forward to that reaction! It's a great movie to a great trilogy! I really hope you'll enjoy it!
By the by, and I think I've commented this in a previous video but I'm going to do it again anyways, there are these two fun movies I'd love to see you react to! If you ever want to react to gorgeous animated films not made by Disney or Dreamworks, please do consider "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole" or "Wolfwalkers". The first one's this beautiful 3d-animated film about owls released way back in 2010. Still holds up despite its age visually. The second movie is this brilliantly unique 2D animation released just last 2020; it doesn't get as much attention as I think it deserves.
You'll love the soundtrack especially the main theme during first flight
@@ChanoCYBER9Avila it’s actually amazing. Goosebumps every time
To touch on what you said in the beginning, in the Bible the story of Joseph is the explanation for why the Hebrews were in Egypt during Moses' time. Though it was generations later so the Pharoah didn't really know or care about Joseph's contributions to the kingdoms
For some historical context it’s worth nothing that Egypt had two dynasties ruling the territory. The lower kingdom housed the Hyksos Dynasty, these were semantic people who had invaded Egypt from Mesopotamia. Hence why Joseph was more than likely able to rise up the ranks due to the cultural and perhaps even linguistic similarities. Eventually the Upper Kingdom dynasty will reclaim the territory and force the Hyksos out of Egypt, hence the Pharaoh who does not of Joseph and mistreats/enslaves the Hebrews due to their connection to the Hyksos.
@@ricardofloresCRS good to know
@@radioraheem9820 there was also a tomb discovered in Goshen, Egypt that historians are believing was the initial resting place of Joseph until Moses took his bones back to Canaan. 12 tombs (12 sons) of were discovered, with one being a pyramid tomb (only Egyptian royalty had that privilege). The smashed statue of the figure had red hair (the color for the Egyptian depiction of Hebrews and Semitic folk) and you could make out colored stripes on what is believed to have represented a multicolored coat.
@@ricardofloresCRS Interesting. That makes sense.
Thanks for the Bible and History lesson. Much appreciated
I really wished Dreamworks made more movies like this.
Me too.
Yeah, it was an amazing 2D art style, but only realized at the dawn of CG animation. 2D animation (as it is displayed in large corporations) died off almost overnight.
Could be great if they make a Daniel’s movie.
@@jigg9824 Indeed, and I wouldn't want to stop at Daniel if they continue to show the same respect for the source material as they did for King of Dreams and Prince of Egypt (plus I miss DreamWorks 2D animation).
Me too
The interesting thing is that Jacob, in his youth, stole his father’s blessing from his older brother, and his older brother, Esau, wanted to kill him for stealing his blessing. Jacob ran away from him for years, but when Esau finally found him, he embraced him and gave him his forgiveness. You’d think Jacob would have learned his damn lesson about messing with fatherly affection.
Jacob didn't steal from Esau his father's blessing. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a plate of soup (which showed that it meant little to him), and then regretted it and was angry at Jacob. He then didnt have right to his father blessing
@@zofiakaczmarczyk581 Isaac told Esau to fix him something to eat. Jacob’s mother knew his eyesight was failing him, so she made up Jacob with lamb’s wool to look like his brother (Esau was very hairy) and cooked it before Esau could come home. Isaac gave him his blessing while half blind and couldn’t give anything to Esau when he returned.
The real issue was how Esau treated his birthright. Those days your birthright was extremely important even spiritually. And Jacob knew this. That's why God's said Jacob have I loved Esau have I hated because Esau treated his birthright like it was nothing. Also due to the change in birthright we were able to continue the rightful line all the way to Joseph ( Jesus's earth father)
@@nickmanzo8459 This is true. But long before these events, what I wrote above happened: Esau one day came back tired from hunting and told Jacob to give him soup. Jacob told Esau to sell him his birthright in return. Esau agreed to this. This is described in Genesis 25: 29-34. Then, as you wrote, when Isaac, their father, was dying Esau wanted to receive his blessing, which he didn't have right to because he had sold it to Jacob before.
@@zofiakaczmarczyk581 my point is that Jacob partly did what he did because of his father’s attachment to Esau and him desiring it. I’m not trying to make a federal case here, but my point is that Jacob essentially was repeating the same thing his father had done in favoring one son over the other, soup or no soup.
Joseph's first two dream sequences is inspired by the painting style of Vincent Van Gogh
You can notice it the most with the sky.
One thing DreamWorks compressed was that Rachel died birthing Benjamin and Jacob was extremely reluctant in letting him go to Egypt because of that
And Rachel was Jacob's favorite wife (and that may sound bad, but her father was a sleazeball who jipped Jacob not once, but thrice).
They was both from rachel
Madison yep. i’m not sure how it happened but jacob ended up marrying leah (rachel’s older sister) without even realizing it.
SherryNycReacts yes, those 2 were from rachel, but jacob’s other sons were either born from leah, leah’s mistress, or rachel’s mistress.
@@saklee1777 Jacob wanted to marry Rachel ever since he fell in love with her - but the Rachel was the youngest and Leah had to be married off first
With no one around, their father decided to fool Jacob into marrying Leah first - given marriage attires in the middle East but also marriage customs back in the day, Jacob wouldn't have known it was Leah until the morning, which was when he found out
Leah would have been hidden underneath her robes and veil - or if they only saw each other on their wedding night as it was custom at the time (the ceremony is held for the couple, the bride is sent off to the wedding chamber and will wait for her husband to arrive and "conduct the final act of their bond"
Or Jacob was pushed into getting drunk and not realizing that Leah was the one he married
I cried watching this movie.
"My brothers will come for me!"
That line always hit me right in the feels. Truly one of the greatest Bible story ever told.
I suggest watching this movie back to back with The Prince of Egypt. It makes me sad how the Egyptians treated Joseph's descendants 400 years after Joseph himself saved their country from the famine.
Me too.
That line always hit me too because I felt like I had a similar relationship to my 3 sisters like Joseph did with his brothers.
@@Serenade2461 Did they want to sell you somewhere far away?
Edit. I'm just joking...
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 I‘m sorry you feel that way. I definitely agree that you can build a family with people you love. But the message of this movie is not that Biology is the only family but that people can change. Not all do, but they can. I don’t want to excuse what they did, but Joseph being able to forgive is not toxic but very powerfull. This movie tells us that forgiveness is a gracious gift, which is so hard to give. But if you’re able to give it, it will make you even stronger.
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 it wouldn’t have been healthy for Joseph to hold onto that hate and allow it to fester over time. It can turn a person bitter. Forgiveness isn’t for the people we forgive but for our own sake. Joseph realized that God had a bigger purpose for him by allowing his brothers to sell him into slavery. That’s what the song “Better Than I” is all about.
Jeez, they made Joseph and Benjamin look like twins, that's nuts. Makes sense they'd look so much alike because they had the same mom, but whoa! Lol.
I have two cousins that could be twins but are almost 10yrs apart in age haha
That what people says about me and my sister and we don't even have the same father. There are many time people thought I was my sister. We both have take most of the look from our mother not father
That's genetics. When I was little, I thought Joseph looked like Moses when he wore the Egyptian wig and the beard. But later on, I found out Moses is related to Joseph. Let me explain:
•Moses and his siblings' mother is named Yocheved.
•Yocheved is the daughter of Levi, one of Joseph's half brothers.
•So Levi is Moses's grandfather, making Joseph his granduncle.
•Plus Dreamworks did well making them look similar.
A I wait they were seriously that closely related? wait yocheved was a slave so just how did she become a slave when levi was the brother of the man that was second in command over all egypt? and when joseph was a slave, the other slaves were of any race it wasn’t all hebrews until later. so how did it change so fast?
@@saklee1777 In the stories/real life, they lived longer than what the average person's age would be today. They probably lived up to 100+ years.
When I was a kid i remember reading Genesis 37-50 and crying when Joseph finally revealed who he was to his brothers and his father,,, still gets me 😭
"you meant evil against me, but God used it for good" Genisis 50:20 It's the one verse I carry close to my heart.
Me too, my mom's sister has 2 sayings I repeat quite often, #1. Holding onto anger is like drinking poison, and expecting the person you're angry with to die." #2. Anger is one letter short of danger."
Yes, and I think it was actually 22 years. He was 13 when Joseph was sold 13 years of slavery and prison. 7 years of slavery, and 2 years of famine when his brother's came. Joseph was a teenager. So they wouldn't have recognized him after that long. And it was silver cup that he framed Benjamin with as a test, to see if his brother's had truly changed.
I gotta admit my sisters sing "I am a miracle child!" all the time and everytime i understand Josephs brothers more and more
Edit: What...what happened in the comments.... Did I stumble across some sort of cult? Bless everyone trying to make some reason out of that mess.....
i was that kid singing i am a miracle child 🥲 i apologize for your sisters lmaoo
It's really their dad's fault for playing favorites so badly. Still, it doesn't excuse going as far as to dastardly sell him into slavery.
The background story to that is a bit deeper. The older brothers are his half siblings and their father was tricked into marrying the brother's mother when he worked to earn the right to marry Joseph's mother.
After the marriage, because of the Father's favoritism, God made Joseph's mother barren. Joseph was the first born after over a decade of being barren.
Not cool still but deeper...
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 then all the christians would be mad that they changed the entire story 💀 the point of the movie isn’t to teach kids a lesson, it’s to teach them what happened or at least what it said to have happened. if you want to find a movie that teaches your kids that, either find a movie or make one.
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 lmaooooooo i’m not even a christian smart one 💀 have you not seen the christian response to everything that they don’t agree on? that’s all i said. take several sits pedro.
😬👀 me when Nick says, “Oh I’m so happy, I thought for the whole movie he was just gonna be isolated from them.”
Lol. Fr
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 well Jesus teaches us something else. Hmmm... Something about forgiveness ( Matthew 18:22-22). The brothers regreted their action, the my asked for forgiveness and they changed their behaviour (protecting Benjamin).
1. Why shouldn't Joseph forgive someone who asked forgiveness and has changed? Why hold that grudge??
2. It's had been about 20 years.
3. Joseph had the gift of forgiveness. I think it is really beautiful. Also he gives them a second change. (They are family after all).
4. Don't people deserve a second chance?
(Not really part of the forgiveness but 5. Joseph understood why his brothers were so angry in the beginning and he saw the part he played in it. (this is not to excuse the brothers actions)).
6. He did make a new family basically. 😜
Sorry if forgiveness comes hard for u and others.
Joseph had the gift of forgiveness. I understand that that isn't easy for everyone.
Pedro Silva Souto oh please. its about the story of joseph and loving your neighbor as u love yourself and forgiving them no matter how theyve treated you. because thats what God wants. it’s more of jacob’s fault, anyway. never paying attention to his other kids. the whole story about him and his wives is just crazy and sad. the fact that joseph was able to forgive them after testing them means alot. and the test joseph put him through proves his brothers changed and they regretted selling him into slavery.
Jiska Frijns i totally agree. except no one DESERVES a second chance but God has the mercy and love to give us second chances. i freaking cried when i watched the movie and read genesis. the fact that joseph was able to forgive his brothers was beautiful. i love the story of joseph. but i really don’t like jacob.
Pedro Silva Souto would u rather live in a world of love or a world full of hatered? getting rid of ur grudges and hatered is how u get peace. come on, do u like being angry and hating on people? its unhealthy.
To know why Jacob values Joseph above all his other sons, you have to know his story.
Jacob was in love with a woman named Rachel. He had made an arrangement with her father to marry her, but he was tricked into marrying Rachel's older sister Leah before he was allowed to marry Rachel.
Jacob didn't love Leah, but was stuck with her. Joseph was Rachel's son, while the others were the sons of Leah and two servents.
wait really?! i remember watching this show called jose de egito and i just remembered leah being extremely jealous of rachel and she fed into judah’s hatred for joseph before they sold him. that’s so interesting. i think i might’ve slipped through that part.
@@minminygyg Yes, Leah was very jealous of Rachel. The Bible describes Rachel as being very beautiful and Leah being not so much. It literally says she had eyes like a cow.
Leah prayed to God to make Jacob love her and so he made Rachel barren and Leah extremely fertile. This led to Rachel becoming jealous of Leah because Leah could give Jacob children.
It started a competition to see which wife could bear the most children and therfore be most deserving of thier husbands love. So Rachel gets Jacob to impregnate her handmaid and counts those kids as hers, but then Leah just does the same thing and pulls back into the lead. Eventually God answers Rachel's prayers to lift the curse he put on her and she has Joseph, who is clearly Jacob's favorite kid.
However, the other 12 sons descendants became the 12 tribes of Israel with Judah's lineage producing legendary figures such as David, Solomon, and Jesus.
Which is why one of his nicknames is The Lion of Judah.
@@LukeZwarteVacht I don't think the Bible described it like that... I thought it was more among the lines of "Leah wasn't as loved as Rachel, so God took pity and blessed her with children". I don't remember any "curse" on Rachel being mentioned, she just couldn't have kids for a long while.
@@blueteller Genesis 30 1-2
When Rachel saw she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!"
Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?"
If God didn't curse her womb, she and Jacob sure thought he did.
Jacob was a whole idiot for sleeping with his sister anyway🤭🤣 I can't even!! I'd punch my dad in the face for even SUGGESTING such a thing!! Omfg!!🤭🤭🤭
"I thought for the whole movie he was gonna be isolated from them.." *SIGHS DEEPLY AS HE IN FACT BECOMES ISOLATED FROM THEM* 5:20
In retrospect Joseph was the chosen one amongst his brothers. He represented a type of perfection in the sense of his Love and connection with God. His ability to flee temptation from Potifers wife, his humility and also FORGIVE his brothers despite what happened. Also his line leads all the way to great men of God and Jesus (in the way of jospeh his earthly father)
The "You know better than I" song makes me cry every time, I love this movie, you can tell it's not as big of budget as POE but it's really beautiful and well done
Unfortunately, as happy as the ending was, this being a prequel to Prince of Egypt, it all goes downhill from there lol
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 Why are you so determined to leave the same reply on every comment? It’s annoying frankly.
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 You have your opinion and that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean you have to post the same message on every comment thread. It’s both rude to other people and annoying. You have your opinion on forgiveness and have expressed it already. We have ours. I ask you respect that we simply disagree.
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 forgiveness is key!!forgive those who hurt or doing anything to you !love and peace
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 okay well the last part you said makes a lot of sense on why you don’t like the form of forgiveness.You strive through negativity,and anything that will
Make you feel free.I adivce you watch LivingWaters here on youtube❤️Sending lots of prayers❤️You are loved.Dont give up
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 Excuse you, forgiving is not as good for the forgiven as it is for the forgiver. This movie does NOT teach to forgvive abusive family members, it teaches values like integrity, forgivness and humblness. The will of God says "forgive your neighbor as God forgives you" so yes, it teaches you to forgive everyone, and that includes abusive family members. No one here is saying Joseph's brothers are good, I'm not sure where you got thet from. And also, please don't blame that on the movie, this is how history went down.
The Van Gogh animation for the dreams were DOPE
Also, when the mom sings it’s so sad cuz it’s the last time she see’s Joseph
Yes, and the last thing he said to her was "Thanks, Mom."
Oh my gosh, don't say that! 😭😭😭💔💔💔
@@myownself25 I officially hate that scene. 😭😭😭💔💔💔
At least the last moments he had with her were beautiful. So many kids who lost their mom wish for something like that.
Your reaction to The Prince of Egypt was so great I think because you were being introduced to the story. I grew up on that story so it was so interesting for me to see someone learning it for the first time! Not to mention your empathy and curiosity for everything you watch.
Josefs birth family is the ancestors to Moses birth family.
The Bible tells us that the Pharaoh allowed Joseph to bring Jacob and his family to Egypt, where he took care of them. Generations later, Moses was to lead the descendents of Jacob out of slavery and Egypt to their promised land. Among the items that Moses brought from Egypt were the bones of his predecessor, Joseph.
To be returned to his homeland. Joseph’s last request before he died was to be returned to the land of his forefathers: Canaan.
This takes place before prince of Egypt, and Joseph inviting his family to Egypt is how all of the Jews came to Egypt but eventually after Joseph died and was forgotten the people eventually became slaves and so that’s where the Prince of Egypt takes place
(Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not the best with all the history and stuff 😅)
No, you’re right there.
You’re correct.
I’m not religious but, I’m assuming the slaves are the descendants of his brother’s children, but his own descendants probably became High Class Egyptian citizens, right? He was made second in command of all Egypt, married an Egyptian woman and raised his children as Egyptians.Does it say anywhere?
@@Nightlady0228 I believe so, again I’m not so good with the history side of it all, but each brothers family becomes its own tribe I think and while for the most part they were mostly all one big group but eventually they split off into their own groups and stuff \_(/v\)_/
@@Nightlady0228 the Jews were treated really well at first and were even given really good lands to live on I think but eventually when Joseph was forgotten and what he had done for them as a leader the Egyptians eventually kind of turned them into their slaves
Thank you for reacting to this movie, such a beautiful movie
Im a Christian myself so I've studied the book of Genesis and the story of Joseph, such an amazing story.
The Lesson is
Whatever harm or evil people intend for you, will be turned around and used for good. ( Genesis 50:20).
Well, my family and I are Christian.
This story always breaks my heart because of how far jealously can cloud judgement. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie.
Me too.
If only this movie was given a larger budget for the animation, and the songs instrumentals. It would have been a perfect prequel to the Prince of Egypt
In my opninion it is still very very good movie
So unfortunately the pharaohs that came after the nicer one that invited Joseph into his ranks were not as accommodating about Joseph’s religion....why the generations of their families were enslaved afterwards, thus Moses
Different dynasties.
The pharaoh who befriended Joseph was a Hykso and ruled Lower Egypt.
Yeah but we see the two differences the Pharaoh that invited Joseph his Kingdom Flourished and when we look at the future those who were far crueler and corrupt during Moses era their Kingdom fell. I kinda like looking at the two and seeing how one grew beautifully due to Joseph's guidance and the other fell due to the current Pharaohs ignorance
So, the dream with the wolves: I like to think that the wolves can be interpreted as Joseph's brothers, and that the actual wolf attack was a coincidence.
It absolutely was. Good observation. It comes up again with the story that he was killed by wolves. The old Joseph was killed by his brother's act of selling him into slavery. I see it like that too.
It did. If you look closely, the camera angle of Joseph walking, his expression, the positions the wolves were in, and the wolf behind him, it happened again step by step in reality
And that's why people came up with the term Wolf in sheep's clothing even the people you trust with your whole life could very well be the ones who do you great harm much like Joseph and his brothers
Ooh, that's a good theory.
The actual wolf attack might have been the sign that Joseph's dreams become true, but the dream had a double prophetic meaning.
Joseph: tells his brothers who he is and forgives them
My unforgiving self though: reminds them of the one dream 20 years ago that I am the stars holding power all over Egypt and demand them to bow to me like wheat. And MAYBE forgive them
The brothers regreted their actions, they asked for forgiveness and they changed their behaviour (protecting Benjamin). I believe that is key for forgiveness. He didnt just forgive them.
Here are a couple of things why I think Joseph forgave them.
0.5 Jesus teaches us something else. Hmmm... Something about forgiveness ( Matthew 18:22-22) obviously Joseph didn't knew about Jesus. 😂 But God doesn't change and this is what God always intended.
1. Why shouldn't Joseph forgive someone who asked forgiveness and has changed? Why hold that grudge??
2. It's had been about 20 years.
3. Joseph had the gift of forgiveness. I think it is really beautiful. Also he gives them a second change. (They are family after all).
4. Don't people deserve a second chance?
(Not really part of the forgiveness but 5. Joseph understood why his brothers were so angry and he saw the part he played in it. (this is not to excuse the brothers actions)
I mean no offence. 😂 I just think that this would be Joseph's point of view
@@JTF2402 I never said that he didn’t forgive them or didn’t understand why he forgave them. I understand why lol. You only repeated what I know.
All I said is that *I* am unforgiving lol
@@JTF2402 but since you asked in No. 4.
If someone, especially a family member, ESPECIALLY a whole pack of family members, have sold me to slavery just to rid of me, taking my own parents from me, never getting to get to say goodbye to my mother, knowing that said mother couldn’t conceive a child for years, for a few coins... I will never forgive them.
And then knowing that I could die in the process cause of mistreatments of slavery, I would never ever forgive them.
@@pedrosilvasouto7320 #trama you do you
What kind of good can come out of this? That's making a bad situation worse. That's not forgiveness that's revenge. Joseph's brother are not blind. They can see that his status is way above theirs. No need to rub it in.
Joseph was angry because he loved his brothers, so hearing their confession gave him the closure he needed to forgive them.
17:14 They wonderfully toned this down for kids, but in the Bible this is much darker.
In the movie, she wants affection from Joseph, and he refuses to flirt since she's his master's wife. She accuses him of trying to hurt her(like beat her or something).
In Genesis chapter 39, Potiphar's Wife wants to have sex with Joseph and asks him numerous times. He refuses for the same reason. When the anger fumes her too much, she accuses him of RAPING her, and that gets him imprisoned.
Kids hear this story in Sunday School, but they are usually just told "Potiphar's wife wanted to date him" or something tame like that. And he was accused of harm. That's how we tone it down for kids.
In my illustrated Bible stories book, it says that she tried to get Joseph to kiss her. That's what I grew up hearing, but years later, I read the actual story in the Bible, and realized what she really was trying to get him to do.
In my sunday school they told us what potiphar's wife tried to do point blank. I was scared for Joseph
In Sunday school: Potiphar’s wife wanted to kiss Joseph.
In the actual Bible: Potiphar’s wife wanted a “What are you doing, step-Joseph?” moment

This movie is so relatable! Thank you for watching this! I'm so happy that "You Know Better Than I" is your favorite song. I love singing that song to God.
It's the best ♥
The Prince of Egypt has the better soundtrack overall, but "You Know Better than I" is such an epic, uplifting song! ❤
@@lulystalgianature2968 I agree that The Prince of Egypt has a better soundtrack.
11:13 Oh when you realize what’s happening, it hurts so bad. His own brothers.
That pikachu face at 12:17
“Better Than I” is such an underrated song! That moment at 29:33 when Joseph realizes that his dream about his brothers bowing to him has come true when Judah begged at his feet! So powerful. I cry at the end of this movie every time!
17:44 "Am I to believe a slave over my own wife?"
a) You're the one who made him a slave.
b) Then why are you asking him if you don't want his answer?
c) yes
It was a rhetorical question.
@@starsoverthere That too. Still flawed thogh.
Well, the brothers made him a slave..
@@jiminsjimjams9477 Yes, but Potiphar agrees to buy him.
I remember watching this one more often than Prince of Egypt. Probably because it wasn't *as* dramatic, and kid me wasn't that interested in drama.
I remember as a kid i liked this story more because "it was less dark" than prince of egypt (fr the plague scene and the smiting of the firstborn were traumatizing for 3 year-old me😥). I didn't even notice the SIGNIFICANT declining in animation quality from prince of egypt to joseph.
This story has always been a favorite of mine, along with Esther. The music is beautiful and catchy and the art acceptable. I didn’t care for Prince of Egypt just because I don’t like the story of Moses. It’s not a bad story, just that is has been done over and over and over and over and over. I agree with Nick. Prince of Egypt is more epic, but this is more relatable.
It is still a strong story with a strong meaning. It is just on an other level that prince of Egypt. This is more personal. (It is not about slavery if a whole country, but more about family betrayal)
@@misssteak1290 Yes! For me, it was the scene of the babies being thrown to the crocodiles. When you're little, the animation quality couldn't matter less, but growing up is realizing how Prince of Egypt is the superior movie in that and every other aspect. Still love Joseph King of Dreams and "you know better than I" still slaps.
@@Line... that song gave me chills even today. But my personal favorite would be "more than you take"
I always love hearing your commentary! And as someone who used to be somewhat religious but isn't anymore, I find it interesting to see what people who aren't religious think of the things I grew up with when I actually was somewhat religious and involved in the church I went to.
Honestly? I like this movie more than The Prince of Egypt as well. I feel like the reason most people say Prince of Egypt is better is because of the visuals and the songs, but the story itself? I like Joseph's a lot better, even of it has an emotional climax instead of an action-packed one.
Same!! The betrayal of the brothers. The pain Joseph feels. The INJUSTICE done to Joseph. Joseph's anger at God and finding his way. Forgiving his brothers who regreted what they had done....
It is just so powerful on a smaller/personal scale! (Moses: larger scale. Slavery and freedom of a people).
I like the prince of Egypt better.

I love this one. The songs are smaller in scale than in Prince of Egypt, but they're also more intimate and personal.
You should watch Road to El Dorado from dreamworks, it's so underrated! I think you'll like it.
On my list!
@@nickflix8657 don’t forget Sinbad: legend of the 7 seas.
@@nathancruz9172 Ooh, I adore that one! Horribly underrated too.
We appreciate your insight Nick! I love how non-religious people can find some enjoyment in these movies ☺️
Yes yes yes! So glad to finally see someone react to this. Had the Prince of Egypt and Joseph: King Of Dreams on VHS as a double feature. I always preferred this one as a kid, don't know why. It was probably the visuals and the story was a little less depressing 😆
I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, so I'm just now noticing the very obvious Van Gogh style of his dreams 😂 Should always rewatch childhood movies when you're older, you pick up on so much more!
I think you’d really love Anastasia (1997) it has great story, AMAZING soundtrack and animation is so realistic!!! it’s also based on a real story + creative liberties
Plan on it!
@@nickflix8657 Can’t wait!! love your reactions❤️❤️❤️
My favorite movie from fox animation.
I’ve been waiting hopefully for that one!
Don't take it as a real story though. Many of the people there existed, but their fate is much more different than what the movie shows. Just think of the movie taking advantage of legends and theories that were very popular back then to make a great story.
Since you enjoyed the music in this I would highly recommend "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat". The story is the same but the entire movie is a musical play based off of the stage play. Danny Osmund plays Joseph so you can expect to hear good songs from him. To me every song in the musical is almost if not better than the best song in this movie.
We had a cd when I was a kid called The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber and it had Close Every Door from Joseph on it and I was OBSESSED with that song. I'd listen to it on repeat sometimes because Donny Osmond's voice is just so incredible.
Among one of the best "Straight to Video" movies out there.
The symbolism in this film is amazing, we hear Joseph talk about his dream and how his brothers wheat bowed to him, and then they later bowed to him as well. Near the end, Joseph's brothers come to Egypt for grain and as they're begging for him to take one of them in place of Benjamin, they're all bowing to him. I would have loved for you to watch Joseph before Prince of Egypt only because the Israelites moved to Egypt during the famine while Joseph was the high official and Moses led them out so it might have made a little more sense. Overall another great reaction!
idk of anyone else remembers this one but Cats Don’t Dance is an AMAZING one with great songs😁 one of my favorite villains too Darla is hilarious
She reminds me of the baby 👶🏻 doll from Batman TAS, Angelica pickles from rugrats, and Suzy Johnson from Phineas and Ferb.
YEEEEESSSS
Joseph: King of Dreams is how the Israelites came to Egypt, and Prince of Egypt is when they left.
God was always with them.
Isn't God so amazing,the way he do all things
To paraphrase another commentary channel on this movie, since Mark Hamill voiced Judah and Ben Affleck voiced Joseph that means Joseph: King of Dreams is technically a Batman and Joker movie. 😂
I love this movie, mostly for the songs, but it leaves out two of my favorite pieces from the original story - the moment (not involving Joseph) that Judah finally wakes up and realizes what a terrible person he is, and the *_multiple_* times during the whole back-and-forth with the brothers in Egypt when Joseph has to hurriedly leave the room in order to bawl his eyes out.
Now that I am an adult, I can kind of see how this has a lower budget from The Prince of Egypt. However, the people involved clearly still cared so much about making a great final product.
Prince of Egypt and Joseph King of dreams came in a double movie box set in wallmart when I bought it
you just can’t watch one without the other 😌 if i watch joseph king of dreams i HAVE to watch prince of egypt
There aren't as many big celebrity voices in this one apart from Affleck (though many of them are recognizable to me since I know a lot of trivia lol). But you probably recognize Joseph's wife is the same voice as Ariel from The Little Mermaid. And one of the brothers is clearly Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)
The message of the song Better Than I got me through my good friend’s death. She had suffered from a heart defect for years and after countless medical procedures over five years to try and save her she finally succumbed to her disease. I asked God why He took her, especially from her husband and young son, but every time I did I listened to that song. A short time later the pandemic struck and I finally understood why she was taken when she was. She would have suffered even more if she had contracted the virus, and considering how sick she was there’s no doubt in my mind she would have. I know she is safe in the arms of God now.
This is more underrated than the prince of Egypt, I love these dreamworks Bible adaptions so much 😭
Me too. Including the 2D animation from my childhood.
They should've done more. I mean, we got two, which is better than nothing. Still, I wanted more.
@@lulystalgianature2968 yeah. Would’ve been cool to see one about Jesus
Hmm, I was thinking other stories. Jesus' story has been done many times, and in part Moses' too, but not as much. Joseph's however, you don't see much of it. It would've been awesome if Dreamworks kept telling Bible stories that are either overlooked or forgotten in general media.
@@lulystalgianature2968 yeah I guess your right... maybe one about Caine and Able would be cool too 🤔
I forgot how much the this movie hurts Joseph goes THROUGH it 🥺
I remember watching this as a child and even then I thought that Jacob's overt favoritism for Joseph was a bit much. Granted, at the time I hadn't gotten the memo that they thought Rachel was barren. But still. Also Joseph's enslavement scene always made me feel reasonably uncomfortable, even if I didn't fully grasp why at the time.
So some backstory: so this story takes place before The Prince of Egypt. It explains why all the Hebrews are in Egypt. During the years after this movie the Hebrews became plentiful and the Egyptians enslaved them because they feared that they had become too powerful. Really enjoyed the reactions!
My grandma had this on video. I didn't see the prince of egypt until I was way older, so I didn't have any of the 'prequelhate' lots of people have + it's nostalgic. Really love this movie. It's not on par with prince of egypt but prince of egypt is PRINCE OF EGYPT come on little can beat that give the also-decent prequel some slack xD
I didn't know it was a prequel until wwwaaaaaayyyu later.
I'm so glad you chose to watch this after Prince of Egypt. The story of Joseph is such an amazing story of brotherly love and struggle. It's just sad to know how the Egyptians will turn on Joseph's family and enslave them after their country was saved by them.
YOU TRIMMED THE BEARD!!!!! Actually like the look haha
Haha thanks.
Joseph's story reminds me of Nelson Mendela's, an incredible story of forgiveness.
"I'm so glad they let him go. I thought the whole movie he was just gonna be separated from them"
Me: Well!!!
This movie is very underrated and the voice cast is incredible
Yep.
Been following your channel for a while now and admire how absorbed you get into each movie/tv show. Your empathy is definitely your strong point in your reactions (which is a good thing!). I hope your channel continues to grow and you'll be able to evolve your content and flesh out your commentaries further!
(also did not realize I was not subbed to you until now, oops. fixed!)
Hah thanks so much and I do too! Definitely want to feel more comfortable with my commentaries and improve them!
THE DREAM SCENES USED TO SCARE ME TO DEATH AS A KIDDDDDD
The 🐺?
@@nathancruz9172 Yeah! And just the overall vibe
This movie is still one of my favorites. Thanks for watching it X3
23:52 Fun Fact: That woman right there is Jodi Benson.
AKA: The Little Mermaid! :)
Yep she plays Joseph's wife Asenath
My cousin who works in animation, directed this film
Now Andrew Lloyd Webber famous for the musicals Cats, Phantom of the Opera, and Jesus Christ Superstar for his first musical did Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and he did that when he was in school and it became a hit. I remember seeing a vhs when I was little of a production of it that was filmed.
I normally I don’t like watching movie reactions....... but you made me change my mind. You Have A SUBSCRIBER 💕
So glad you like them!
This is the most underrated Dreamworks film
Although you said that you aren't particularly religious, you have alot of the values that a religious person should have. I respect you so much.
Having good moral values has nothing to do with being religious or not.
@@Shaesi. some religions like christianity has the foundation of morals.
You dont have to be religious to have these, I was just saying that I do recognize the similarity he has with them which isn't a bad thing.
Sorry if I might've offended, I just thought it was harmless to say.
@@memyselfandi7782 Don't worry. I just wanted to clarify that since some people still think that it's necessary to believe in God in order to be moral and have good values.
@@Shaesi. nah man. It's all good. Just said the last part just in case.
Hi! I speak Spanish, but your reaction channel is the best I've seen and my favorite without a doubt, I can guide myself a bit by taking English classes. I'm going to go back to studying English just to watch this channel and enjoy it much better. You are the best, you deserve 1 million subscribers without a doubt. Keep it up!.👐
Great reactions! ^__^ Here are my personal favourite film suggestions:
Balto (1995)
The Black Cauldron (1985)
The Land Before Time (1988)
All on the list!
@@nickflix8657 yay! :D
would love to see your reaction to "The Black Cauldron"
probably the scariest Disney Movie they've every made
I highly recommend the books! 😁
@@vixiestarfire It's been on my reading list for a while now but I just haven't had the time :(
I'll get there eventually
I loved the movie as a child, but as an adult, I can understand it's flaws. The books however, are beyond AMAZING! One of my favorite book series!
Nick, as a decently religious guy (I’m a church choir director in my day job), I like that I can give you extra context on what’s going on from a historical/religious perspective.
Haha thanks for the information 😊
@@nickflix8657 I’m not like super religious, but I am happy that you can see the value in telling these old stories, even without the context of faith.
Oh my goodness😭, you watched this!! This movied seems to get overshadowed by Prince of Egypt, I didn't expect a reaction of this. Both movies are amazing! The song "You Know Better Than I" gets me every time. I'm so happy lol
Major credit to the side VAs. The Baker's lines as he was dragged away always rattled me.
"You knew. You knew! That's not a gift! It's a curse!"
No idea what he was channeling to get that kind of terror in his voice, but wow.
Hey Nick! I found you through your Prince of Egypt video and subscribed right after if that tells you anything! Then I went on a binge of all the rest of your content haha. Thanks for being awesome!
so many Bible studies are done in the book of Genesis of Joseph: a story of faith and perserverence, and in the end, leadership.
I was first drawn into your channel by your Prince of Egypt reaction and I was so excited to see you watch Joseph King of Dreams! Both movies are absolutely beautiful interpretations of the biblical stories. I really do hope you were blessed by watching both of these movies even though you may not fully agree or understand all of it. You were so brave for reacting to them and I'm glad you were able to take part in such amazing movies Nick!!
Hello from France, i love your reactions 😊
Another french 😁
Your reactions are so amazing, they feel really real and genuine, and you seem to have a deep care and love for every movie you watch.
Another movie with great animation by Dreamworks is Sinbad! uuuugh so good I love that movie 😆
Might be coming very soon😊
Damn I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid... Still holds up how great it is
You are so amazing! So happy you did this movie, more people need to see it!
"Do not be sad brothers, for what you intended for evil, God made it for good" - Joseph to his brothers after revealing himself to them
This is what we call the "I saw Prince of Egypt and it was phenomenal so maybe they carried it on...oh wait no they didn't" syndrome.
It happens to everyone who sees it the first time. Prince of Egypt is one of a kind.
During the Exodus by Moses, the Hebrews took the mummified bones of Joseph back to the Promised Land with them. They show this in the movie The Ten Commandments.
That's in the Bible. Joseph made the people promise they'd take his remains from Egypt once the Hebrews left, and their descendants remembered that promise.
@@lulystalgianature2968 I know, I only mentioned that it was shown in another film.
@@nickmanzo8459 Oh. Right. I watched teh movie, but I don't remember that part. I do recall it was very, very long. Like, possibly more than Titanic.
I got so uncomfortable when that woman (I don’t remember the name, the important guy’s wife) started going after Joseph, like it’s abusing your power to get what you want from somebody even if it puts them in a horrible position.And they can’t fight back. I don’t know how to call this situation more correctly- grooming or sexual assault, but the entire dialogue near that wall I just kept internally screaming “LEAVE THE BOY ALONE”
I enjoyed watching your reaction! I grew up in a very religious home and while I don't really embrace those beliefs so much anymore, I still consider this movie and the Prince of Egypt to be very nostalgic and close to my heart. If you haven't reacted to it already, I also highly recommend Balto. It's not historically accurate, but the animation is lovely and I adore its soundtrack.
I can see it from both sides. Both sides are understandable although the choices may not always be approved of. They have been compared to Joseph for many many years so all their anger and jealousy turned to cruelty.
I'd honestly forgotten that this movie had such cool songs... I was so young when I last saw this, but I used to watch it so often.
I wish Dreamworks still make these kind of movies . The songs are so wonderful and emotional.
Can you do Babe (1996)?
1995, actually.
20:42 I wrote this on the comment section of this song, but I need to put it here:
When I was 14, about 7 years ago, I went through some abuse and neglect. Months later, I got PTSD from it and wondered-why God let it happen to me? And why did my parents not get punished(no jail time)?
Also, a couple of years ago my sister passed away and I wondered why that had to happen.
I have had a lot of hard times in my life, and I wondered, why is God putting me through all of this?
I heard this song and later sang it while taking a walk. It's been so healing for me. I still sing it when doing chores, walking, or when i need healing again. And it helps in this coronovirus crisis.
Whenever I feel that anger, I remember this song and no longer feel that way. I still don't know why God's plan for me contained all of that, but I do know that one day I will.
I hope God blesses your future with a loving family
@@Neevkl_7 Thanks. I already have my loving family though.
@@zacharysiple629 thats wonderful. I hope you all bounce back and live happy lives once this pandemic ends.
@@Neevkl_7 Thank you! :)
"Better Than I" was one of my favorite childhood songs and it still holds up today. Absolutely love that song to death and I'm not religious at all. I can appreciate beauty when I see it though. Or in this case hear it
I love your reactions and how genuine you are! Hopefully one day you will react to Anastasia! I sing songs from that all the time even now lol
