Angel Studios Drops Full Trailer For ‘David,’ It’s Most Ambitious Family Title To Date

Angel is positioning the animated musical as a broad-audience holiday event, emphasizing scale, spectacle, and mainstream appeal.

The acquisitions fit Angel’s model of testing new IP on its platform and then doubling down on the franchises that gain audience traction.

The film is a collaboration with South Africa’s Sunrise Animation Studios (Jungle Beat: The Movie) and directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes.

The studio employs over 40 animation crew members.

The sleeper hit has grossed nearly $55 million in three weekends.

‘The King of Kings’ is now the second-highest-grossing domestic animation release of the year.

The new South Korean animated feature is currently projected to earn $18 million in its opening weekend.

Angel Studios will released the film in U.S. theaters on April 11, 2025.

The series, based on the life of the Biblical King David, will be available on the Minno and Angel Studios streaming platforms.

Animation creators are generally lucky to own 10% of their IP. A cohort of young companies wants to change that.
