Moviegoers are saying
This animated biblical musical about David's story divides audiences between those praising its stunning Cape Town-produced animation and meaningful Psalm-inspired soundtrack, and critics who find it overly sanitized and too long for its target demographic. While families and faith-based audiences are moved to tears by Phil Wickham's vocal performance and the film's spiritual depth, others yearn for the narrative complexity of 'The Prince of Egypt' and joke about the story's more controversial biblical elements being glossed over.

Man this David seems like a really good and upright guy. I really hope he doesn’t get his friend killed just so he can steal his wife.
DallinWeechDec 18, 2025Everyone saying this is zionist propaganda does not know their history. Biblical Israel is NOT current day Israel. Telling this bible story doesn’t mean pushing the idea of an innocent Israel. This is NOT me being pro genocide though. Free Palestine!
EmmyDec 14, 2025This was a very ambitious remake of Dave and the Giant Pickle.

I’m pretty sure David and Jonathan were gay, but I can’t prove it
Root Beer Lord Vs The WorldJan 1, 2026Really solid faith-based film. I thought the music, vocal casting and animation were top notch. The film desperately needed 10 minutes cut out, and the themes and plot points felt a little mature for younger audiences, but it was worth a watch and felt like a worthy…
PaulWHauserDec 21, 2025Where’s the part where David had to collect 100 foreskin and he double downed and collected 200? “The heart of a lion, but the spirit of a lamb.”

wyattswanDec 19, 2025If you ever had a crush on Moses in The Prince of Egypt, just wait to see grown-up David. Like, I get it, it’s in the text (1 Samuel 16:12), but they didn’t need to go that hard. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this film ever since I first saw the concept art a few years ago…

IWImara WalkerI want to say that I saw this movie for free. Thank you! I was hoping that this would be a new Prince of Egypt film that could be appreciated by religious people and non-religous people alike, it wasn't. So of the jokes made me chuckle, most didn't. I liked two of the song,…

David may be a towering figure of biblical lore, but this telling of a chapter of his story is not merely animated, it’s cartoonish.

A well-produced, visually impressive, character-driven fable about the man who would be king.

It comes off, it plays and it entertains. And the impressive, high-end Sunrise Animation Studio production values — realistic landscapes, clever character designs and tje scale of a capital city under construction (Gibeah, pre-Jerusalem) — are just the icing on the cake.
