Which Beyoncé visual album film is connected to The Lion King: The Gift?

The story behind the answer

Black Is King is the Beyoncé visual album film connected to The Lion King: The Gift.

Disney+ released Black Is King in 2020. Beyoncé wrote, directed, and executive-produced the film, which reimagines the themes and music of The Lion King through a celebration of Black identity, African diaspora culture, family, and community.

The film uses songs from The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé’s 2019 companion album to Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King. It features elaborate costumes, choreography, locations, and visual symbolism, with contributions from artists including Blue Ivy Carter, Jay-Z, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and several international performers.

Black Is King is sometimes confused with Lemonade because both are Beyoncé-led visual projects, but they have different structures and origins. Lemonade accompanied her 2016 album, while Black Is King grew from the music created for The Lion King: The Gift. The film’s title and visual language emphasize cultural inheritance and renewal.
