David Trailer Showcases Animated Musical Movie Adaptation of Bible

Angel has shared the official trailer for David, the upcoming animated musical drama about the Biblical story of the shepherd boy who became king. The movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 19, 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,” reads the official synopsis. “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.”
