Which Beyoncé film musical was released on Disney+ in 2020?
Answer
Black Is King
Answer
Black Is King
Black Is King was the Beyoncé film musical released on Disney+ in 2020.
Beyoncé wrote, directed, and executive-produced Black Is King, which premiered on Disney+ on July 31, 2020. The film was conceived as a companion piece to The Lion King: The Gift, her 2019 album inspired by Disney’s The Lion King.
Its story follows a young African king’s journey through identity, family, ancestry, and self-discovery. The film uses music videos, dance, fashion, animation, and imagery from several African cultures and diasporic traditions. Artists appearing on its soundtrack and screen include Shatta Wale, Major Lazer, WizKid, and Beyoncé.
Black Is King is not a concert documentary like Homecoming. It is a narrative visual album, while Homecoming centers on the preparation and staging of a live festival performance.
