Goofs:

When Joseph's brothers come to Eygpt to buy grain, it appears as though Joseph had no idea that he had a younger brother. But Joseph knew all along he had a brother. According to scriptures Genesis 42 and 43, at first Joseph put ALL his brothers in prison for three days. He kept Simeon while his brothers returned to Canaan. But they did not return right away.

Quotes:

Joseph: You think this is funny? Well, father won't be laughing when he hears... who are you?

Well done

I feel that since I am not a particular person who follows the stories of the bible that I can look at this and enjoy it for the artistry and that it is an incredible story told in animation. At first I wasn't sure if I'd actually like the film because it was a bible from the story. At first I watched it just to hear the music, but as I watched the film it became more and more about the film itself not the music. Overall I thought it was a story well told. Ben Affleck did a good job as Joseph. It wasn't a role he had taken on before so that made it more interesting. I liked all the actors in it. It was different. But I also appriciate the actor/singers who gave thier singing talent to make the piece. For example David Campbell(who sang for Joseph) has an incredible array of talent and did a wonderful job with the singing. I feel with Ben Afflect performing by just plain voice and David Campbell performing as the singing voice made it interesting to watch. They as well as the other actors and singers make the movie complete and wonderful to watch. Overall a wonderful story well told.
