David is a 2025 American animated adventure-drama directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes, retelling the biblical story of a shepherd boy who rises to face an empire's greatest warrior. Co-produced with South African studios, the film brings ancient scripture to vivid life through contemporary animation for family audiences.

What is David about?

Growing up tending sheep in the hills of ancient Israel, young David is an unlikely hero — gifted with music, devoted in prayer, and overlooked by nearly everyone around him. When Goliath, the towering Philistine champion, begins terrorizing the Israelite forces and no warrior dares to answer his challenge, David volunteers with nothing but a sling and an unbreakable conviction. The film follows his path from the pastures of Bethlehem through the dangerous corridors of King Saul's court, where jealousy and palace politics complicate every step. Along the way, David's bond with Jonathan, his respect for the prophet Samuel, and his own crisis of faith are tested repeatedly. The story builds toward a confrontation that is as much about integrity and loyalty as it is about a single famous duel.

Cast & crew

The film features Phil Wickham in a leading voice role, supported by Brandon Engman, Asim Chaudhry, Mick Wingert, Mark Whitten, Ashley Boettcher, Sloan Lucas Muldown, and Will De Renzy-Martin. Directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes bring experience in faith-based animated productions, aiming to render the characters of biblical narrative with emotional depth and visual warmth appropriate for younger viewers and families.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, the story of Daoud — known by that name across Islamic, Jewish, and Christian traditions — carries deep cultural resonance. The tale of a humble shepherd chosen to lead a people against overwhelming odds is woven into Persian literature, poetry, and religious heritage spanning centuries. This animated retelling, produced with a 2025 sensibility, allows families to revisit a shared scriptural narrative in a visually engaging format. The film is presented in its original English audio without Persian dubbing or subtitles, making it best suited for diaspora families comfortable with English or bilingual households introducing children to this classic story.
