Disney and Pixar’s latest film, Soul, appears to be a visually stunning and spiritually uplifting experience. The movie tells the story of Joe Gardner, a middle school band teacher with a passion for jazz music. After a near-death experience, Joe’s soul is transported to a cosmic realm called the “Great Before,” where he meets other souls and forms an unlikely friendship with a soul named 22. Together, they embark on a journey to find the true meaning of life. The film’s beautiful animation and heartfelt storyline promise to take viewers on a heavenly adventure exploring the essence of existence..
Pixar just released the second official trailer for their latest animated feature Soul, forcing us to once again lament that it will be debut exclusively on Disney Plus, skipping a trip to theatres altogether.
What’s It About?
Soul follows musician Joe (voiced by Jamie Foxx) after he dies on Earth. Instead of heading into the light, he goes into the Great Before, where new souls gain personalities and traits before they head to Earth.
Early Reviews
The early reviews for the film are already trickling in, and it’s overwhelmingly positive. At the time of this article, it has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, with 20 critics having weighed in. Peter Bradshaw, who writes for The Guardian, calls it “a deeply sweet, happy, gentle film”, while Jason Solomons of The Wrap celebrates its “colorful visuals and gentle wisdom”.
Pixar is of course known for their wonderfully thoughtful and beautifully animated films, so the effusive praise is not surprising, and it sounds like Soul is truly a movie we could use in 2020.
With the positive buzz surrounding the film, the choice to release it exclusively on Disney Plus is once again a bid to drive more consumers to the platform. It will also keep users who are on the fence about their subscription, since they might wait it out till the film’s release on Christmas day.
