David

I took my family including grandchildren. Everyone from the adults to the children loved it. It brought the biblical story of David, his faith in God. In these times of conflicts between people and nations you can see how God. This movie delivered a message without the need for vulgarity or things inappropriate for all ages.

Great for 12 and under. Not a fan of the singing musical. Story was perfect for kids not to detailed in darkness, but the story had to be told. Light and sweet in parts. I would take my grand daughter to see it. Our church is taking the kids next week. The story of David needs to be shared with everyone.

I thought they did a really good job with this movie, the animations, and the songs. The only downfall I feel was the last third or so. It wasn't bad, it was just a little bit hard to follow since so much was put in. Overall I thought it was a great movie and I'd watch it again. Considering how the story is written in the Bible, they definitely made it flow pretty well.

If you are an academic (like I am) who likes diving into biblical history, this movie might seem a bit rushed for you. However, as a kids' movie, this seems great! I love the songs (I had them on a YouTube playlist even before seeing the movie), and the story illustrates some of the major points of David's life without making it too scary or adult themed. I took my parents and adult brother to see this, and to my surprise, neither of my parents fell asleep (which they often do when we see movies in the theatre). They were interested the whole time! My brother liked the movie as well and believes this will be like the new generation's Prince of Egypt (I agree).

Phil Wickham did a great job as David, especially considering that he does not have a lot of experience acting in movies. And I was so surprised that there were two different people voicing young and adult David! The casting director did a fantastic job matching Phil Wickham and Brandon Engman. There were even inflections in their voices that matched. I am a big fan of Phil Wickham, but I have to say Brandon Engman's voice amazed me. It is not often that I hear a voice that makes me stop to want to listen, even when there is no accompaniment; he has a wonderful gift for music and voiceover. Both of these individuals do. I hope I get to hear more from them in future Angel Studios productions.

Our family absolutely loved this movie. It was beautiful and breathtaking. It was so moving, and while biblically sound, they also used beautiful imagery and wonderfully written songs to flesh out a really tangible version of David. I had tears in my eyes multiple times and we left so inspired. We will definitely own this, and rewatch many times I'm sure.
