The partners are forking out $78 million for the IP with Angel’s portion of the investment at about $31 million in cash, its first big move since merging with a Spac for a public listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
The partners have set a December 19 theatrical release for animated musical David — the biblical shepherd boy who defeats Goliath and inspires his nation. Zero A.D., originally in that slot, has been moved into 2026.
The deal, which settles some outstanding litigation between Angel and Slingshot, also comes with an accompanying five-part animated television series, Young David, that was highly popular with the Angel Guild. Angel has an unusual business model underpinned in part by dues from its 1.5 million grassroots Angel Guild members, who have a hand in selecting the studio’s projects.
