Pixar's Soul Is A Literal Soul-Searching Journey

Pixar's Soul Is A Literal Soul-Searching Journey




Disney-Pixar's latest project is a soul-searching, existential journey. No, really.


Nevertheless don't let that scare you away. Soul is a upcoming animated film is all about looking indoors yourself and asking one question: who are you really? And why would you like to be remembered?


 


Meet Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), an aspiring jazz musician who also happens to teach middle school musical group. If he gets his big break to bust out his best work at a popular jazz club in New York City, he can hardly contain his excitement – up until he falls down a manhole.


Immediately after Joe falls (to his death?) He ends up as a soul at the "You Seminar," a place for souls to come to rest, recharge, and "reset" before they're sent back out into the world to inhabit new bodies. He meets 22 (Tina Fey), a soul who thinks living on Earth isn't all that awesome, and the pair have to work with each other to try and get Joe back to Earth and into his body before he's trapped as a soul and forced out...Forever.


"We only have a short time on this planet," Gardner says in a voiceover in the trailer. "You desire to be the person that you were place on Earth to be. Don’t waste your time on all of the junk of life. Spend your precious hours doing what will bring out the real you, the perfect enthusiastic you that’s prepared to contribute something meaningful into this world."


the initial teaser trailer is a whimsical look at what the movie will entail, plus it looks like an exhilarating adventure in the vein of previous Pixar film Inside Out. It will mark the 23rd movie in Pixar's collection, and that's an exhilarating milestone, to be sure.


Save the date, because Soul is poised to jazz up theaters beginning on June 19, 2020.
