The award-winning singer released a trailer for the new visual album on Wednesday, which stars the entire Carter family, with Blue Ivy, eight, making multiple appearances throughout – even showcasing her impressive dance skills.

Ahead of the video's release, Beyoncé shared a special video message on Good Morning America from her garden in LA. She said: "Black Is King is finally here! Now I'm so excited you guys get to watch it tonight on Disney+. It's been a year in the making. "I worked with a diverse group of very gifted directors and actors and creatives from all over the world to reimagine the story of The Lion King.

"The narrative unfolds through music videos, fashion, dance, beautiful natural settings, and raw new talent, but it all started in my backyard."
On what the phrase Black is King means to her, she continued: "So from my house to Johannesburg to Ghana to London to Belgium to the Grand Canyon—it was truly a journey to bring this film to life.
"And my hope for this film is that it shifts the global perception of the word black, which has always meant inspiration and love and strength and beauty to me. Black Is King means 'black is regal and rich in history, in purpose, and in language.' "I hope you all love it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope y'all see it tonight."
