 This film is...honestly, one of my favorites. I can’t help but have a big smile on my face every time I watch it. And that's the whole way through.

 <div passage>
 The songs are really good and super catchy. They are also frequently quite funny. Joseph's song in prison (<cite>Close Every Door</cite>) also hits you right in the feels.
+The transitions between the songs are also very natural.((:fn:>IIRC, <cite>Jesus Christ Superstar</cite> didn't have transitions that were this natural feeling, though I may be misremembering.)) They all go from one to another, making it feel like one long song at times. Though there are a few cases where this doesn't happen. This also helps with the pacing of the story, which is fairly fast, but never feels rushed.
 I don't like all of them equally (obviously), but that's down to personal preference.

 ===== Trivilinks =====
   * You can actually watch the film for free on YouTube! [[you>vnpqWJUj5ag|Here]] it is.
+    * The quality is unfortunately quite bad, so I'd recommend buying a DVD or Blu-Ray.
+  * I first saw clips of it in elementary school.
+    * I actually think that this, alongside the uh...[[lb:abrahamic mythology#personal note|Bible incident]]... may have shaped my aesthetic preferences. In other words: it was not the internet that corrupted me, but //Bible studies//.
+  * From what I can tell (with my fairly limited knowledge) the Egyptian outfits are surprisingly accurate. At least...outside of the Potiphar segment. This is especially true of the female outfits.
+    * Another source of //corruption// in my youth.
+  * There is another adaptation of the story of Joseph, <cite>Joseph: King of Dreams</cite>, which I've also seen. It was made as a prequel to [[lb:Prince of Egypt]]. Though from what I can remember...it's a bit more accurate to the Biblical narrative, but it's just overall kinda bleh. I may write an article about it in the future.
