David (2025)

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.

Phil Wickham's Perfect Fit: The director, Phil Cunningham, stated that they cast a wide net for the voice of David, but Phil Wickham had a unique blend of acting, singing, and the right spirit for the role. Cunningham mentioned it wasn't about Wickham's fame but something in his voice that felt like David.
From Series to Film: David (2025) is a follow-up to the five-part television miniseries Young David, serving as a prequel to test things out before creating the feature film. The creators used the series to refine their vision for the full-length animated movie.
Attention to Detail: The filmmakers took four trips to Israel to ensure the film's authenticity and detail. Inspired by the scale and detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, they aimed for a high level of quality in every frame.
Motherly Champion: The movie champions mothers, and one of the most moving parts of the film is David’s relationship with his mother, Nitzevet. In a particular scene, David is walking with his mother, and they're talking about the tapestry.
Unexpected Healing: One of the animators shared that working on the movie was a healing experience. She said that she was broken and disillusioned with life when she started but that making the movie healed her.
