What happens

Joseph: Beloved Son, Rejected Slave, Exalted Ruler is a 2015 American direct-to-video animated biblical drama film. It is an adaptation of the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. The film tells the story of Joseph and his journey from being a dreamer to being a slave in Egypt to becoming a powerful ruler in Egypt and the savior of his people, the Israelites. After many years in prison, his faith and his gift for interpreting dreams lead him to a grand position in the kingdom of Egypt. Featuring traditional animation and some computer-generated imagery, the film depicts story in the context of God's plan for Israel and the promised arrival of the Messiah, using artistic license to fill in gaps with imagined yet plausible conversations in the narrative.
