Joseph is the favorite of his father, Jacob , inciting his brothers' jealousy and hatred. When Joseph receives a beautiful coat from his parents, his brothers hate him even more and are driven to sell him to desert merchants who take him to Egypt . There he is made the servant of a wealthy Egyptian who misunderstands him and has him thrown into prison. There he shows his God-given gift by interpreting the dreams of two other prisoners. Eventually, the Pharaoh begins to be plagued by dreams and sends for Joseph, who interprets them and saves Egypt in the process. He is made second in command to Pharaoh, and has most of Egypt's grain stored. But soon his brothers arrive in Egypt to buy food because of famine, and he must try to forgive them.² It is the prequel to The Prince of Egypt , also by DreamWorks .³
