And they did a motion capture process where you actually capture real people walking and things. So they decided to do that to bring down – it brings down the cost and makes it feel more real. But – What they've done here, like if you see the walking on water scene from this movie or the – there's just so many scenes in here that are gorgeous. The cinematography is beautiful.

The voice actors, it has one of the top cast. You've got – Pierce Brosnan in it. You've got Ben Kingsley. You've got Uma Thurman. There's this huge list of actors inside this movie that they've pulled in. And what they have built audiences are raving about. I went on Saturday to the movie with my kids. And up in the front of the theater during the credits, the entire movie was full of kids.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
And all these kids go running down during the credits. And while the credits are playing, they're all dancing around these like six-year-old to 12-year-olds just dancing spontaneously. It was pretty amazing. It's a great experience.

The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
not the craftsmen, not the actors, but it's primarily coming from the gatekeepers, which is a group of like a couple dozen people that are making all of the decisions of all the movies that go into Hollywood. And we're replacing that with this guild.

The movies you're going to see at Angel.com.

Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
It's very difficult to pass, um, getting voted on by the angel guild.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
I would say there is definitely a cultural shift because a couple of years ago we released a movie called His Only Son, which is watchable in the Angel Guild right now. But His Only Son is the story of Abraham. We released it at an Easter time. Years ago when we started, Angel Studios released the first three seasons of The Chosen.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
And I remember before anybody had really seen it, I would invite people over to my house and ask them if they could watch the show. And I'd give out the movie, the series, The Chosen. This is season one, episodes one through four. And nobody wanted to watch it. And I'd give links to them and they wouldn't watch it. Nobody would watch it. And then I finally just said, you know what?
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
I'm going to invite people over to Sunday dinner. And then I'm going to... get up after Sunday dinner and say, now we're going to go watch the series that I've been working on with Dallas. And when I would sit people down and say, you have to watch this series and they would resist and say, no, I've spent the last two years of my life working on this, sit down and watch the chosen.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
And every time without fail, they would love the show, but it was like pulling teeth to get people to watch it. Now that's a very big hit. This is very different. The King of Kings is getting watched in mass and, It just beat Prince of Egypt's record for the biggest biblical animated box office opening of all time. And so that was over two decades ago.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Bukele at The White House + Where’s The Money?
And that's how long it's been since we've had a serious animated biblical film. So the culture is definitely changing and there's a huge shift.
