A South African animated musical, *David*, became the top-grossing faith-based animated film, surpassing previous records.
A South African animated film, *David*, produced by Sunrise Animation Studios and directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes, has become the highest-grossing faith-based animated movie, surpassing previous records set by films like *The King of Kings* and *The Prince of Egypt*.
Released in December 2025, the film reimagines the biblical story of David and Goliath as a musical adventure, earning critical acclaim for its animation and emotional depth despite opening second behind *Avatar: Fire and Ash*.
Developed over 20 to 30 years, the project began with Cunningham’s inspiration during a canoe trip and involved a global team of over 400 artists across 32 countries.
Funded through a $49.7 million crowdfunding campaign, it reached a $60.9 million budget and marked a major milestone for African creative talent and international collaboration.
