Key figures in Williams' career, like producer Teddy Riley, are featured, illustrating the support he received throughout his life.
Through the film, Pharrell aims to inspire audiences to pursue their ambitions, promoting a message of creativity and self-awareness.
Accompanying the film, a LEGO set called 'Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams' will also be available, featuring 966 pieces and retailing for $109.99.
