What was the title of Beyoncé’s 2020 film based on The Lion King: The Gift?

Beyoncé’s 2020 film based on The Lion King: The Gift was Black Is King.

Black Is King is a visual album and musical film written, directed, and executive-produced by Beyoncé. It was released on Disney+ on July 31, 2020. The film reimagines themes from Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King through music, dance, fashion, photography, and African diasporic imagery.

Its soundtrack is based on The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé’s companion album for the 2019 film. Songs used in the project include “Already,” “Brown Skin Girl,” “My Power,” and “Spirit.” Beyoncé also voices Nala in the 2019 remake, linking the project to the film without making Black Is King a conventional sequel.

The project features artists including Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, Childish Gambino, Shatta Wale, and Major Lazer. It is sometimes mistaken for Homecoming, which documents Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance and was released on Netflix in 2019.
