English Summary:

Joseph: King of Dreams is a 2000 American direct-to-video animated biblical musical drama film. It is also the first direct-to-video production from DreamWorks Animation following Madly Madagascar in 2013. The film is an adaptation of the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis in the Bible and serves as a prequel and spin-off to the 1998 film The Prince of Egypt (as the biblical narrative of Joseph happens before that of Moses). Composer Daniel Pelfrey stated that the film was designed as a companion piece to Prince of Egypt, noting that though "Joseph turned out to be very different than Prince of Egypt, it was very challenging and rewarding".

Joseph is the youngest and most favored of Jacob's twelve sons, regarded as a ("Miracle Child") because his mother Rachel had been thought infertile. Joseph grows conceited under his father's special treatment, and his elder half-brothers come to resent him. One night, Joseph dreams of a pack of wolves attacking the family's flock, and the next day the dream comes true ("Bloom"). Another dream follows, in which Joseph sees his brothers bow before him; on telling them this, they hatch a plan to get rid of him, led by Judah. They sell him to a slave trader and take his torn coat back to their parents, convincing them that Joseph was killed by wolves.

In Egypt, Joseph is bought by Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guards ("Marketplace"), and gradually becomes his most trusted attendant, as well as befriending his beautiful niece Asenath ("Whatever Road's at Your Feet"). However, when Potiphar's unfaithful wife Zuleika, after being spurned by Joseph, lies that he had been the one making advances on her, Potiphar nearly has him executed, but Zuleika, feeling guilty, stops him. Potiphar realizes that Joseph is innocent of the crime, but to save face, he reluctantly has Joseph put in prison. Joseph finds himself imprisoned alongside the royal butler and baker and interprets their dreams, which reveal that one will be put to death and the other will return to his position at the palace. Sure enough, the baker is executed and the butler is released. The butler, however, forgets his promise to tell Pharaoh about Joseph, leaving him to languish in jail.

Hungarian Summary:

A film egy fiú történetét mondja el, aki álmaiban látja a jövőt, és ez mély ellentéteket szít családjában. A tizenegy fivér legifjabbja, József, apjuk kedvence. A féltékeny fivérek eladják Józsefet a rabszolgakereskedőknek, akik akarata ellenére az egzotikus Egyiptomba viszik. Az otthonától elszakított fiú hirtelen kalandokkal, titkos ármánykodásokkal és bimbódzó szerelemmel teli új életbe csöppen. Számos viszontagság után Józsefet maga a fáraó kéri meg, hogy fejtse meg nyugtalanító álmait. Ezzel József megmenti Egyiptomot a katasztrófától, és jutalma megbecsülés és magas rang lesz.áááAhogy hatalmat kap, megtalálja a szerelmet és a boldogságot. De a sors hirtelen fordulata ismét összehozza őt fivéreivel, és a fiatal hősnek olyan döntéssel kell szembenéznie, mely mindannyiunkat érint - a megbocsátással.
