A musician who has lost his passion for music is transported out of his body and must find his way back with the help of an infant soul learning about herself.
Soul (2020, Movie, Animation): This now has to be one of my favourite Pixar films. The animation is stunning, the characters engaging, the ideas introduced thought-provoking, and the music is great. Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey are great as the leads, and Graham Norton steals the show as a Hipster-like soul. The comedy is quite strong, with several laugh-out-loud moments, but the real reason to see this film is the world-building done on the Soul Realm, espically involving the 'Zone'. Enjoyed all throughout, though the middle body-swap slowed the film down a little for me, though it still led to some great momments. I loved the ending, despite many people dislikeing it - I though it was an emotional and heartfelt ending to a great animation. With a layered story and high-quality animation, Soul will undoubtedly become a Pixar Classic. Definitely recommend for families and fans of animation.
With its stunning visuals/animation and it's nearly perfect soundtrack, Soul (2020) showcases an existential exploration with incredible grace (and soul).
