DAVID is a historical animated musical film inspired by the ancient true story of a young boy who took on a giant, which catapulted him from a shepherd boy to king, with an adventure story to inspire a generation.
Produced independently by Slingshot Productions with animation by Sunrise Animation Studios, DAVID brings together over 200 top-tier animators from around the world. The film blends majestic visuals with stunning musical storytelling to reimagine the legendary biblical narrative of David beyond Goliath.
“David’s story is one that has resonated with people from both within and outside the faith community for millennia, and has proven its ability to reach the broadest possible audience. Our vision is to make a movie and tell a story that will delight and inspire the broadest possible audience, while staying authentic to the Bible’s account of how one man’s relationship with God liberated a nation and changed the course of history.”
Phil Cunningham – Director
From the creative minds behind some of the most beloved animated films of our time - the crew behind DAVID brings their finest work yet to the big screen.
