films of the 1930s and 1940s definitely took advantage of the new Technicolor process. For Disney in particular, it was the only colour process that he felt worked for his films (Telotte 48). Especially since the idea of animated films as feature films was relatively new at the time, there was a necessity for the differentiation of Disney’s films to live-action films so that animated films could be taken seriously. Disney used Technicolor to do just that (Telotte 48). Another, arguably more important
Technicolor in Animated and Live-Action Film: Bambi (1942) and Becky Sharp (1935) Colour, especially by today’s audiences, is considered to be a staple in a film’s mise-en-scene. It is generally thought to be an attraction today if a film does not have colour, and it influences many different readings of films.

The musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has lyrics written by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber (Gänzl).

It is based on the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors from the Torah. The majority of the musical takes place in ancient Egypt during Biblical times.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is based on the biblical story of Joseph, who was born in Canaan, or ancient Israel. In the musical version, he is listed as the last of the sons of Jacob. His brothers are jealous of Joseph and when they were in the fields, they beat him up and sold him into slavery to a group of Ishmaelites. The Ishmaelites take Joseph to Egypt, where he first serves the house of Potiphar, one of the richest men in Egypt. He is accused of attacking Potiphar’s Wife and
The story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is integral to the overall narrative of the Israelites’ descent into Egypt. It also tells us that anyone can make his or her dreams come true. His progression from dream interpreting shepherd to minister of Egypt is one of the most elaborate stories in the Bible, the Book of Genesis. Joseph was born in a family of 12 boys and Joseph was his father’s favorite. Jacob wanted to show everyone how much he loved Joseph and decided to give him
Every child or adult can tell stories about their childhood cartoons. Looney toons to spongebob everyone had their show.

Allows was made around fifteen years after the first technicolor films, the movie is still designed to have the audience notice its beautifully colored shots. Most of the film’s landscapes feel oversaturated and doctored. These exterior shots often feel more like paintings to appreciate rather than providing context for the film’s interior shots.

under the ensemble. I had made it into the show… my first show. Instantly after finding my name my whole body relaxed. At this moment I could never have guessed how much this cast list would change my life. My first show was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I loved every minute and every aspect of the production process. Spending hours in the choir room working out a new song or being on stage learning the steps of a new dance made me want to go to school each day. This was all a gateway
