David

“It’s not just the size of the storytelling that’s impressive; there’s also the way the film pays attention to smaller, more intimate details, like when Samuel (Brian Stivale) anoints David in the presence of his family. The prophet sings a blessing in Hebrew as he holds his horn of oil above the boy’s head. A hush comes over the film as leaves stir in the wind, a flame flickers in a lamp, and birds perch in the beams of Jesse’s house, keen to get a look at what’s happening.” – Peter T.

“Best known, of course, for his stacked-odds kerfuffle with that gargantuan brute Goliath (imagined comically here), directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes — who also wrote the screenplay — venture beyond that well-known slab of the story to give us another timeless moral tale about standing up for what we believe and doing the best for our community. Those messages and David’s own journey from boyhood to adulthood as King Saul wrangles with his own faith get set to peppy songs (“Shalom” and “Follow the Light” are my favorites) that often feature adorable critters — all well-animated — in the background.” – Randy Myers, The Mercury News
