David

David (2025) is an animated musical from Angel Studios and Sunrise Productions — watch it online on iFILM. Directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes retell the story of the young shepherd through original songs and vivid hand-drawn animation built for families. Brandon Engman voices the young David; worship artist Phil Wickham takes over for the adult years.

A boy tending flocks in Bethlehem is named by the prophet Samuel as something far beyond what his brothers expect. He ends up in the court of a troubled king — Saul, voiced by Adam Michael Gold — where his music is the only thing that quiets the darkness. When the Philistine army sends Goliath forward and the whole Israelite camp goes silent, David walks out with a sling and five smooth stones. Lauren Daigle voices Rebecca, Asim Chaudhry plays the cunning King Achish. The film carried a $60-million production budget and earned over $85 million at the box office.

Composer Jonas Myrin wrote original songs woven through the film, and theater screenings were staged as sing-along events. That combination of spectacle and intimacy is what sets this retelling apart from straightforward biblical retellings. Stream David (2025) for the whole family online on iFILM.
