These timeless lessons are revealed and reflected through Black voices of today, now sitting in their own power. His ancestors help guide him toward his destiny, and with his father’s teachings and guidance from his childhood love, he earns the virtues needed to reclaim his home and throne. The voyages of Black families, throughout time, are honored in a tale about a young king’s transcendent journey through betrayal, love and self-identity. The film was in production for one year with a cast and crew that represent diversity and connectivity. This visual album from Beyoncé reimagines the lessons of 'The Lion King' for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns. Jason Sterman, Brian McGinn and David Gelb produce. The documentary will give audiences an exclusive and immersive look at the filmmakers and their short films, while also exploring the creative philosophy that makes Pixar unique. Produced in collaboration with Pixar, 'A Spark Story' comes from Supper Club (“Chef’s Table”) and directors Jason Sterman and Leanne Dare. Gonzales’ film, “Nona,” came from an intensely personal place, but that didn’t stop a serious bout of writer's block from nearly derailing the entire production. Corbin’s film, “Twenty Something,” required novel approaches to storytelling to convey one character's multiple perspectives-all using handdrawn animation (a rarity for Pixar). Each, teamed with a producer, navigates the emotional rollercoaster of stepping into a leadership role and inspiring their crew. 'A Spark Story' introduces Aphton Corbin and Louis Gonzales, two filmmakers striving to get their uniquely personal SparkShorts visions on screen.

No major rules apply-filmmakers are driven by their need to tell a story and the nimble approach to do so. At Pixar Animation Studios, SparkShorts filmmakers are given six months to assemble a team and create a short animated film.
