Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent introduction to musicals for children
Last weekend I rented this DVD from our local library. My children ( 3 1/2 and 1 1/2) and I enjoyed it so much that we just had to buy it ; from Amazon of course :-). We watched it both days and each time it ended they wanted to see it again. Although a lot of the plot went over their heads there are a few items that need explaining to small children. Especially, the part where Joseph is sold as a slave and the brothers smear goat blood (they use a stuffed animal not a real goat)over his "dreamcoat" and the scene with Potipher's wife (rather risque). However, I found that by making sure that I watched the production with my kids and singing along to the songs with them more than made up for these minor glitches.In closing, this is a must see for any family that loves music and an excellent introduction to musical theater.PS. the DTS track is a nice plus
