From the songs of his mother's heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David's story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage--culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom.

Critics Consensus

David is as likable as its scrappy hero, offsetting its predictability with gorgeously animated backgrounds and a universally appreciable moral.

David is an amazing retelling of an inspiring biblical story that, while centered on themes of courage, values, and faith, also provides ample entertainment and memorable music.

3/5

The film’s strengths are in the vitality of its animation and the beauty of its settings. ...Its flaws lie in its evangelical moments which sit oddly with its Disneyfied tone but that doesn’t seem to be deterring audiences.

A proficient family entertainment that’s nonetheless a little too precision-engineered to feel truly stirring. Faith, “David” has in spades; soul, not so much.

This is an impressively made animated drama with likeable characters and some catchy songs. It’s just a shame that the script didn’t receive the same level of attention as the animation.

An animated triumph from Angel Studios. It captures the rise of King David with Prince of Egypt quality. The David vs. Saul dynamic is perfectly handled. Emotional, beautiful, and inspiring!

Great and beautiful telling of the story of David! As a Christian I'm wanting more movies like this, no hidden agendas(political or racial) and no other subliminal messages. Just a movie about how the Lord can use you at any age to do great things!! Disney and Hollywood, pay attention!!

I think every child should have access to this movie. I was very impressed. We don’t see enough bible based movies in this evil world. My children and I loved this movie. They understood the message in the movie. I wish I could give this movie TEN STARS.

My grandkids love Bible stories and learning about God’s plan and that nothing is impossible for you to do when you have faith in a living God. They love the Bible because they know it’s the truth and this movie is so good for kids and adults. They went twice and saw it again at home.
