The project "reimagines the lessons of 'The Lion King' for today's young kings and queens in search of their own crowns," the release said."
'Black Is King' is an affirmation of a grand purpose, with lush visuals that celebrate Black resilience and culture," producers said. "The film highlights the beauty of tradition and Black excellence."
