Trivia / Joseph: King of Dreams

• Dueling Works: Probably not intentionally, but Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat received its own made-for-video adaptation the previous year.
• International Co Production: Animation-wise, at least. The animation, effects and background art was split between no less than a dozen companies (Dreamworks aside) across North America and Asia^note including lead studio Bardel Entertainment, with assistance from Tama Productions, Fil-Cartoons, Studio Bihou, Wang Film Productions, Character Builders, Design Office MECHAMAN, DKP Pictures, Golden Bell, VirtualMagic Animation, Starburst Animation, Red Rover Studios, Spaff Animation, Heart of Texas, New Vision International and Mercury Filmworks
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Want an official soundtrack for the songs? Too bad, they never made one; Eventually it go the point where "Better Than I" was completely re-recorded as part of a retrospective album on the films composer.
  • Rescued, as the soundtrack is available on YouTube and Spotify.
• Non-Singing Voice: Joseph was voiced by Ben Affleck, but his singing voice was sung by David Campbell. Same for Jacob, voiced by Richard Herd; his singing was done by Russell Buchanan.
• Stillborn Franchise: Was intended to be another in a series of biblical stories that the studio would adapt. It was also DreamWorks's first and only direct-to-video sequel, and its below-target sales put the kibosh on any more, including a planned sequel to Antz. The studio would find more success with one-off TV specials and Recycled: The Series adaptations of their later productions.
• What Could Have Been: Originally, Asenath was going to be introduced in the marketplace scene; as in the final product, her cat (which Joseph sees her buy) breaks away, and he lures it with milk from a stall, though it results in him getting beaten. Asenath then encourages Potiphar and Zuleika to buy him. The scene also had a catchier song, which the creators liked but decided didn't fit the darker context.
