I’m going to tweet from this thread to tell you the Parallels with the original lion king film
Bigger is not only Beyoncé’s version of Circle of Life but it also speaks to the speech Mufasa gives Simba about legacy, about being royalty “everything the light touches” #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I’ve said it before but lion King is my favorite film of all time. And this film does such an incredible job of respecting the original story and sharing the lessons found in the story #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Find Your Way Back is literally what this entire film is about. That’s the message of Lion King. The lessons Simba’s father taught him, about always finding “home”. About remembering who you are. No one can take your birthright away from you #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Don’t Jelaous Me, this Simba in the heyanas den. This is the scene where him and Nala are in the elephant graveyard. #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Scar - well that’s self explanatory. Warren is playing scar... fitting #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
“All white to the funeral” - Beyoncé
Mood4Eva is my favorite part of the film - Beyoncé and Jay Z are Timon and Pumba. They introduce young Simba to paradise. A life of “no worries” - it’s wealth, joy, it’s freedom. Hakuna Matata #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Even in the origam film Simba gets “lost in the sauce” - he gets caught in the “lush” a it’s a good time. He almost forgets who he is. The table is always set for him. He forgets who he is meant to be #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Of course Simba lives in Sunny Pretoria https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹️" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht"> #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Ja Ara E is Simba deep in his denial of who is - the scene where scar “appears” to him, is his lasting catching up to him. He’s being reminded of who he is. It’s the scene in the original film where him Timon and Pumba are looking at the stars #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Already is Rafiki coming back to Simba. Essentially remember who the hell you are. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Can we have moment for @Nandi_Madida as NALA. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
This scene is only in the film cause of the remake of the original. In the 2019 this is where Nala goes to fetch Simba. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Brown Skin Girl - is just so affirming omg https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Keys to the kingdom is The #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Simba and Nala reconnect and fall in love. THIS IS A LOVE SONG #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Otherside is parallel of the scene in the original film where Mufasa speaks to Simba. He’s speaking to Simba from... the otherside

Otherside is a stunning stunning song. It’s a reminder that those that have left the earth haven’t really left us. They’re still apart of us. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
This scene is Simba returning to his destiny. This is when he decided to go fight for his legacy. It’s one of the most powerful scenes in both the original film and this one #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
My Power - This OUR moment #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> - @busiswaah and @Moonsanelly THANK YOU
In terms of the film - this again is a Beyoncé addition for the remake. She wanted emphasize how woman are the ones who actually get the job done. This is true in a pride of lions as well #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

The song, like the film speaks about overcoming fear, it’s about stepping into your destiny, not forgetting who you are. It’s about seeing the greatness that you are. It’s affirming that #BlackIsKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
