Pixar's Latest Soul Trailer Finds Beauty In Unexpected Places

Pixar's upcoming animated adventure Soul may very well break your heart, and then put it all back with each other again.


There's a brand new trailer out right now that showcases a little more of the vibrant and poignant tale of the afterlife, written and directed by Up's Pete Docter. It's bight and cheery, alright, nevertheless it's also a realistic rumination on whether life is worth all of the pain several of us go through in the end.


Soul follows Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), an aspiring jazz musician who spends time teaching middle school musical group. While 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.


Soon after Joe falls, presumably to his death, he visits the "You Seminar," here souls to come to reset before they're sent back out into new bodies. He meets 22 (Tina Fey), a fellow soul who doesn't know if living is all it's cracked up to be. With each other, Joe and 22 must work in a upset dash to get Joe's body back before he's doomed to remain a soul forever.


The new footage reveals a little more of the seminar Joe and 22 must explore, along with some extra touching moments that may very well find you reaching for tissues. In the event you cried throughout any of the other Pixar films, we have it on good authority you'll cry here, also. There's plenty of room for contemplation, also – what does happen once we perish, soon considering that? Is it worth all of the hardship to cling to life once it only brings several of us pain? It's getting deep for a kids' movie, that's for sure.


Soul will be asking the tough questions once it hits theaters on June 19, 2020.
