David 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

David is not only a top-notch animated biblical film, but an exceptional animated film in general. The story of David and Goliath is one of the most captivating in the Bible. This musical adaptation will make its important message accessible to children while providing great entertainment for viewers of all ages.

The film's opening scenes follow young David (voiced by Brandon Engman), an energetic shepherd boy always on the lookout for adventure. He finds it when Samuel (Brian Stivale) appears and, to everyone's surprise, anoints him as the new king of Israel. This news, if it reaches King Saul (Adam Michael Gold), will not be well received. When the Philistines threaten Israel, David must face their most fearsome warrior, Goliath (Kamran Nikhad), a battle in which he is clearly at a disadvantage.

Directors: Phil Cunningham, Brent Dawes
Writers: Brent Dawes, Kyle Portbury, Sam Wilson
Stars: Brandon Engman, Phil Wickham, Asim Chaudhry

That's the first half. The second half focuses on an older David (now voiced by Christian singer Phil Wickham) as he fulfills his destiny as the new king amidst multiple challenges.

The source material is clearly strong. David brings it to the screen with Disney-quality animation. The visuals are detailed and richly textured, particularly during a beautiful musical number set against a backdrop of colorful tapestries billowing in the wind. The action sequences are equally pleasing to the eye. The climactic battle between David and Goliath is dramatically rendered, building suspense while showing how the young man's wit prevails over his opponent's size.

The film's songs are catchy and pop-infused, contributing to an uplifting atmosphere. The lyrics complement the story's themes, but they're also enjoyable enough to listen to in the car. In addition to Wickham, popular contemporary Christian music artist and former American Idol contestant Lauren Daigle is featured on the soundtrack.

Best of all, David delivers messages about protecting loved ones and fulfilling responsibilities, even when they're frightening. The combination of engaging animation, good music, and a touch of occasional humor contributes to this religiously themed film having an appeal that extends far beyond the Christian audience it is aimed at.

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
