Why no Dreamworks King of Man?
Because big animation studios are run by jews

This, first of all.
Ignoring that, Jesus is the most divisive figure in human history. The Hebrew Scriptures are recognized by all major Abrahamic religions; the ancient prophets and the narratives that surround them are mostly consistent through Judaism, Christianity and Islam. You're not going to run into much controversy if you're adapting them faithfully, since the stories and attitudes towards them are pretty much the same everywhere.
Now with Jesus of Nazareth, that obviously isn't the case. According to Christianity, Jesus is the messiah of prophecy and divine in nature - they believe he was born of a virgin (and thus unmarked by the original sin), and was a perfect and sinless being who gave his life to redeem mankind for their sins. According to Islam, Jesus is the messiah and was born of a virgin, but he was only a prophet of Allah and never claimed divinity. He's seen as a precursor to the more important Mohammad, and had apparently foretold the latter's birth. Jews obviously don't believe any of it, believe that Jesus was either a liar or just not real, and still are waiting for their promised messiah.
There's no way that Dreamworks, a major motion-picture company that develops children's films for international (but primarily American) audiences, could get away with a film about him. No matter what they did, too many people would attack them: and remember that this is an animated film, so religious parents are going to react with extreme negativity if they feel Dreamworks is trying to feed their children lies, or undermine their interpretation of scripture. Any depiction of Jesus (other than maybe as a charlatan and liar) is going to be received poorly by Jews, while claims of godhood and neglect of Mohammad would piss off Muslims - but if you leave that stuff out (and make Jesus subservient to Mohammad), then Christians are going to get pissed off. There's no real way for them to win.

Still waiting for him be a servant in FSN.

>they believe he was born of a virgin (and thus unmarked by the original sin),
you're making a bit of a leap there. he's sinless because he's god. being born of a virgin was just to fulfill a prophecy.

Inst l more like Part of God, because the Saint Trinity? The Father, the son and the Holy spirit?

They should make a movie about Muhammad and there should be a magic carpet scene with his 8 year old wife
Shh, only Dreams now.
Seriously, cartoons need to adapt some mythology that isn't the old testament or ancient greek.
How about part of the Vedas, those have some crazy shit.

Do you really want a movie where Jesus makes the smug Dreamworks face and is voiced by some meme comedian?

No, the first six Ecumenical Councils were all called upon to kill this idea. Jesus is fully God and fully man, not half part like Arianism

It would be seen in the Americas (all of it), yurop, russia, and non-islamic and non-chinese asia .
It would still make a ton of money, and controversy is never bad for business.

>he was born of a virgin (and thus unmarked by the original sin)
No, not "and thus". This is why Catholicism came up with the whole 'Immaculate conception' thing. IC doesn't mean he was born of a virgin, it means Mary was somehow conceived without original sin, which is not only entirely unbiblical, but also horribly contrived.
You are, of course, completely correct otherwise.

Got your titles mixed up
It's Son of Man, Son of God (it's taken), Son of David, King of Jews or King of Kings
King David might be workable as a cartoon but the sex and violence would have to be toned down even more than for Moses. It literally has a Game of Thrones knockoff series now.
