As family-friendly animated biblical epics go, ‘David’ is one of the best I’ve seen.

Faith-based film and television’s improvement is by now a well-known, welcome trend. I no longer find the majority of the genre embarrassingly bad. Yet faith-based masterpieces are still rare. And when one comes along, it’s a beautiful surprise.
David might not be a “masterpiece,” but it comes close. Distributed by Angel Studios, the film (in theaters December 19) is certainly the best Bible-themed animated musical since DreamWorks’s Prince of Egypt (1998), and arguably more biblically faithful and artistically rich.
