A beautiful, heartfelt odyssey, Pixar’s animated triumph finally gets the theatrical release that it deserves. After landing the gig of a lifetime, middle-school band teacher and part-time Jazz pianist Joe (Jamie Foxx) inexplicably finds himself in the Great Before, a world between realities where the human spirit is nurtured. Aiding rebellious unborn soul 22 (Tina Fey) in finding her spark, Joe sets about returning to Earth and ultimately truly understanding what it means to have soul along the way.
With outstanding production values and a fiercely intelligent approach, it’s a heartwarming journey that transcends conventional animated storytelling. Delving into existential discussions with snappy and engaging dialogue, Soul explores profound ideas about passion, purpose and the significance of fully living each moment. Jazz rhythms and sharp comedy weave seamlessly throughout, breathing life into its narrative and characters. As expected, the stellar cast, led by standout performances from Foxx and Fey, are wonderfully rounded and add vocal zing.
Since 2010, Pixar have undergone somewhat of an evolution, both thematically and visually. In a striking return to classic form, this is both a testament to, and perhaps a reforging of their creative legacy.
