Sibling Rivalry

It\’s a cautionary tale for parents, and one whose message will resonate with children: the new DreamWorks telling of the biblical tale of Joseph in the animated direct-to-video film \”Joseph: King of Dreams.\”In a style similar to that of \”The Prince of Egypt,\” which told the story of Moses, \”Joseph: King of Dreams\” imagines the childhood of Joseph and illustrates the dangers of favoring one child and the extremes to which sibling rivalry can lead. Animated by their jealousy, Joseph\’s brothers sell their preferred brother to Egyptian slave traders. It\’s an act they come to regret.
