highlights the animated biblical film David (released by Angel Studios on December 19, 2025), claiming it's being praised as better than anything Pixar has produced in the last 5 years, and marking the biggest success for a biblical movie since The Passion of the Christ.The attached video in that post is the official trailer (or a clip from it), showing dramatic scenes from the story of young David facing Goliath, with epic music, faith-centered themes, and high-quality animation.Here's a quick overview of the film's real performance and reception as of January 2026:
  • Box Office Success: It opened with an estimated $22 million domestically over its first weekend (the highest-grossing faith-based animated theatrical opening ever, beating Angel's own The King of Kings and surpassing films like The Prince of Egypt in certain records). By mid-January, it crossed $70–80 million worldwide (mostly domestic, around $78–80M+ in the US alone), making it one of Angel Studios' biggest hits after Sound of Freedom. It held strong legs through the holidays, often ranking in the top 10 and outperforming some major animated releases in fewer theaters.
  • Reception: Audience scores are extremely high (e.g., 98% on Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter from thousands of verified ratings). Viewers praise the stunning animation, emotional depth, powerful musical numbers, family-friendly tone, and faithful-yet-engaging retelling of David's story (from shepherd boy to facing Goliath and beyond). Many call it the best animated Bible movie since The Prince of Egypt (1998), with strong Christian/family appeal and no "subversive" modern agendas. Critics are more mixed (around 76% on RT), noting it's polished and heartfelt but sometimes predictable or overly engineered.
  • Overall Buzz: It's seen as a win for faith-based animation and a counter to mainstream Hollywood's family-film drought. Clips of the David vs. Goliath battle have gone viral for their intensity and quality. Some minor criticisms exist (e.g., character designs or specific choices like Goliath's appearance), but the dominant sentiment is very positive, especially among Christian audiences and families.
If you're interested in the trailer or key scenes (like the Goliath fight), they're widely available on YouTube via Angel Studios' official channel. Have you watched it yet, or are you considering it?
