Angel has released the first teaser trailer and teaser artwork for their upcoming animated musical epic “DAVID.” Directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes of Sunrise Animation Studios, the film will be released exclusively in theaters on December 19, 2025, distributed by Angel.
“’DAVID’ is the movie for families this Christmas — a film that reminds us why we go to the theater together,” said Brandon Purdie, EVP & Head of Theatrical and Brand Development at Angel Studios. “As seen in the teaser trailer, this story captures the heart of the boy who faced a giant — a celebration of courage, faith, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself. We’re seeing incredible excitement from theater owners and families alike. ‘DAVID’ is more than a movie — it’s a cinematic event that will bring generations together this Christmas.”
‘DAVID’ is the highest Guild-rated film in Angel’s history, scoring a 98 out of 100. The cast is led by multi-platinum selling artist Phil Wickham as the adult David and actor, dancer, and singer Brandon Engman who voices David as a youth.
“What an incredible moment to finally reveal the story that the most wonderful team has been working on for over a decade. A story that has been woven into the tapestry of the human experience for over 3000 years. We are so delighted to be able to share it with the world and hopefully inspire a whole new generation to stand in the face of fear and conquer the giants they face,” said director Brent Dawes of Sunrise Animation Studios.
For over three decades, creator Phil Cunningham has dreamed and fought to bring this story to big screens. “I couldn’t be more thrilled that this film is releasing during the holiday season, where families can put down their phones and come together in the theater to be inspired by David’s hope, courage, and faith. Our greatest wish is that audiences of all ages will be inspired by David’s story and reminded of the power of trusting God through every challenge.”
Tickets for ‘DAVID’ are on sale now. The film will be in theaters nationwide on December 19, 2025. For more information, click here. Watch the teaser trailer below:
