My kids love it. They started watching it when they were 3 and 5. It is good for long car rides when you have listen to what they are watching, the music is very catchy :-)

What Parents Need to Know
About Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Parents need to know that this Old Testament tale is suitable for grade-school kids. Some things to note: Joseph's solo ballad laments persecution of the Hebrews. Joseph's father is obviously a polygamist. Fully-clothed dancers simulate orgies with mildly suggestive choreography. A sheep is dismembered (though it's clearly a mannequin-like fake). Religious viewers may have qualms about the treatment of the Scripture-based material (God is barely mentioned here). The themes of sibling rivalry, jealousy, and ultimate forgiveness, however, are universal.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how they handle feelings of jealousy. Why did Joseph ultimately forgive his brothers?

not bad at all!
well, it's not bad at all. Yes there is a scene that might be a little bit sexual, and a little bit of violence,(though it's a mannequin.) But otherwise very vgood movie.

not frightening........
My 4 year old sister & I both saw this. She enjoyed it a lot, I looked at appropriateness, here's what I came up with. this isn't a frightening movie at all, anyoe could see this without being scared. But it had a little inapropriatness, a lot of scenes are filmed with a bare chested man (mostly Joseph) so it can be inapropriate for some parents, there's a lot of flirting and possibly sex in one scene with potiphar's wife and Joseph. a lot of people near the Pharoh wear clothes that you can see an outline. also there are some scenes with smoking and alchohol. I'd say this is alright for little kids but sensitive parents might find this inapropriate.
