About Soul

Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

Our take on Soul

Pixar's 2020 film sends a jazz-loving music teacher's soul on a cosmic detour the moment his big break arrives, forcing him to ask what really makes a life worth living. Inventive, soulful and quietly profound, it's animation at its most philosophical. If its warmth and big questions moved you, the great Pixar films and thoughtful animated dramas share its gift for turning existential ideas into deep feeling.
