Which film did Beyoncé voice in Disney’s 2019 remake of a classic animated story?

Beyoncé voiced Nala in Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King. The photorealistic computer-animated film was directed by Jon Favreau and released in July 2019. It reimagines Disney’s 1994 animated film while retaining the central story of a young lion’s journey to become king.

Donald Glover voiced Simba, while Chiwetel Ejiofor played Scar and James Earl Jones returned as Mufasa. Beyoncé’s casting was widely publicized, and her performance helped connect the film to her music career. She also contributed to the companion album The Lion King: The Gift, released in 2019.

Nala is Simba’s childhood friend and later partner. The character is sometimes confused with other Disney roles voiced by prominent singers, but Beyoncé’s role in this film was specifically Nala. The film became a major global box-office success and used digital animation rather than live-action animal photography.
