I would place SOUL among the first rank of Pixar animations, which means among the first rank of animations ever made. Of course, it's visually amazing, but its storytelling couldn't aim any higher. It's about New York, the Black AmericanI would place SOUL among the first rank of Pixar animations, which means among the first rank of animations ever made. Of course, it's visually amazing, but its storytelling couldn't aim any higher. It's about New York, the Black American experience, jazz, teaching -- and the meaning of existence. And unlike practically any other movie about jazz, the music is first-rate. (John Baptiste, Questlove, and Herbie Hancock were among the performers and consultants.) My only question is — what will young children get out of this? It's hugely entertaining, but like the director's INSIDE OUT, it tackles knotty philosophical questions and will inspire a mountain of scholarly papers. Expand

A true masterpiece in that one needs to *finish* the film in order to truly *begin* to love it.

Sounds crazy now, but won’t when you finish it.

Soul is yet another Pixar masterpiece. Easily the best animated movie since Coco, and the definitive animated movie of 2020.

**11.5/12**

Yup. This one was an immediate masterpiece for me. The meaning of life and jazz piano, centralized by a black character. That's some pretty progressive stuff and quite the mature subject matter for a kids' movie. Disney/Pixar films are beginning to master the incorporeal and deeply philosophical themes that adults can watch and have their mind and soul enlightened, while children can be entertained and laugh. This one pairs with the the akin films: "Inside Out", "Coco", and "Big Hero 6". All instant masterpieces. The only thing that fell flat was the humor for me.

I didn’t laugh at very many jokes and a lot of them just seemed too childish or just unfunny to me. These type of movies are typically better at doing that but this one didn’t work. The next thing I'd like to see these films do is really provoke deep thinking like Lynch or the Coen Brothers do; create some surreal explorations of dream logic or leave the viewer misled and confused, respective to each director's challenging of perspective and storytelling. Rather than the surreal postmodernism of the aforementioned filmmakers, these type of movies challenge the viewer in a much more digestible and kid-friendly way. I adore it in a different way, but I would love to see Disney/Pixar try to disorient or challenge the viewer in a different way some day. Anyway, I've rambled enough. This was a tremendous film and truly made me feel cathartic and hit the right spots. I've been tapping into my spiritual side more and "Soul" showed me that those meditating or trancing go somewhere else and what it means to be in these metaphysical states. "Soul" inspires me to explore meditation and art, while also inspiring me to enjoy life as it is, small or large, and to follow my dreams, enjoying every negative or positive experience along the way. Here I come world; I've got a masterpiece to make now, straight from the soul.

The animation was astounding, it was gorgeous and the character designs were stupendous and so original especially the designs of the souls, the Jerry's, and Terry. The writing was remarkable especially the story, it was beautiful, touching, deep, and shows us that no matter what we do the most important thing in life is to just be happy and that there is no right answer of how to live our lives just that to be happy with what we do with our lives. I loved how original the concept was for a Pixar and animated movie, it was outstanding. The music was exceptional, one of the best musical scores of all time. The voice acting was phenomenal especially from Tina Fey, Jamie Foxx, Rachel House, Alice Braga, Richard Ayode, Phylicia Rashad, and Angela Bassett. Soul is one of my top 5 favorite movies of 2020, my 2nd favorite animated movie of 2020, and one of my favorite movies of all time, definite A+. Expand

Moved Me To Tears

I can't put into words how close to home this movie hit for me. Not to sound pretentious, but it's more than a movie - it's a life lesson on how to live. It'll teach you that life isn't about careers, goals, passions, or achievements. It's about living, right here in this moment, exactly where you are.

The voice acting, animation, soundtrack, writing - all phenomenal. It is officially the greatest Pixar movie ever created in my book. Kids will enjoy it, but this one is for the older crowd. It's for anyone who's ever felt like their life has been a waste. That they've made too many mistakes, that they should have done something else, that it's too late to live. 10/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soul-Ful Experience,It's a Top-tier Pixar's beauty, It was simple yet too deep, The Concept at first was little like inside-out but once it goes further it gets as original and Great, The Animation is Stunning and soul's were playfully good, The music was 'soul', The voice cast was perfect and the story it was intriguingly brilliant, This movie literally makes the mind to think about everything beautiful about life for sometime, The Passionate jazz player and his misrable life taken when he just got a gig and his journey for getting back in life and A Soul's Quest to find purpose/ Thing in life, in that journey getting to know the purpose is nothing but meanings in life it was touching.. The concepts of spacing-out was brilliant and the fact that spacing-out due to passion and spacing-out due to obsession are considered same was surprising, The Joey and 22's journey was Fun and emotional, The character switch was entertaining, The 22's experiences of life and joey's obsession of gig just to taught him the meaining of life, The ending with 22's emotional transformation and joey's gift to her as life and at last joey getting another chance at life it was emotionally good, Overall it had Great Characters,Great Concepts and Amazingly beautiful POV to life, It was a Great experience to watch this "Art".

Initial Thoughts:

“Soul” is one of the must see films of the year. Why? Because it has a well thought out plot that is thought provoking, and at moments in time, emotionally heartening. This film is all it claims to be and more by not just skimming the surface of what most of us think in our day-to-day lives. It reaches much further into our souls. It had me thinking who I would like to be and what I could be. Although I didn’t find the answer in 2-hours it had me wondering, what is THE spark that makes me, me?

Visually, this film is spectacular. At times I would forget that it was an animated film, but this aspect had me more invested into the incredible story. I think each individual who watches this film will have a different take and level of emotional response. Speaking for myself. At the end of the day I didn’t feel the emotional heartstrings being tugged at, but I honestly felt like my soul had been moved to want more and to be better.

The last takeaway to this film is head up. Take each day for what it is and live it to your fullest because you may never get the opportunity for a do over or second chance. Be kind to yourself and those around you, as it may trodden them in such a way that they lose hope or faith in who they are and who they are meant to be.

Overall:

Honestly, this is a must see film before the year is up. It’s visually stunning, thought provoking, and emotionally driven. Admittedly, I did have my doubts and thought this film would fall short of my expectations, which was 10/10, but instead it met them, which was a 10/10.

Enjoy the show!

This films message is simple, but complicated: live life to the fullest. Jamie Fox’s character goes through an emotional journey to not be told, but shown his purpose, all the while he unknowingly shows another theirs. If you have not seen this film, but have Disney+, it is a must-watch, and will be remembered alongside Pixar’s greatest.

Alongside the the story, the animation is top-notch, which is as to be expected from Pixar, and the performances from the cast are all sublime.

Soul once again raises the bar for what Pixar can do through animation and I highly anticipate their next project.

I know a lot of people had their doubts when first seeing the promotional material and trailers for this Movie. From what I've seen, people have thought that the "Soul" part of the movie would just be there to cater to younger audiences.I know a lot of people had their doubts when first seeing the promotional material and trailers for this Movie. From what I've seen, people have thought that the "Soul" part of the movie would just be there to cater to younger audiences. However, after watching the film, I think people will realize that that's not the case. The way the soul world is intertwined with the real world can be a bit confusing at times, but is executed beautifully overall. This film is probably the most mature-themed Pixar movie I've seen. The visuals are absolutely stunning, and the storytelling is executed very well. This is probably one of the few movies that has hit close to home with me, and I can see it doing the same with others. I love to see that Pixar is constantly innovating and finding new ways to speak to the audience personally. I understand if some might not like the theme because of it's complicated nature, and it's more mature target audience, and that's okay. While there are a few shortcomings that I can't quite put my finger on currently, I think this movie has one of the most powerful messages, and definitely had an impact on me. Expand

Pixar is no longer in the business of creating beautiful and complex children's movies. "Soul" is a deep dive into Existentialism and Phenomenology. The film raises questions about what is consciousness, where does it come from, are wePixar is no longer in the business of creating beautiful and complex children's movies. "Soul" is a deep dive into Existentialism and Phenomenology. The film raises questions about what is consciousness, where does it come from, are we predetermined to pursue certain life tracks? The overarching theme in the film looks at how we validate a life well-lived. The characters at times are heavy-handed with the lessons to be learned but even these moments, while lacking subtly, are emotional punches when framed and supported by Reznor's score and Baptiste's compositions. Pixar again showcases their masterful animation prowess, giving the characters both exaggerated locomotions and delicate distinctly personal emotes. The attention to detail is evident in scenes of complex handwork and the facial expressions -- being able to give abstract line figures believable emotions is a testament to their craft. One thing I could not look away from was the hands in this movie -- they even make a comment "Hands are hard"-- the hands really seal the deal for me, the gesticulating of characters coupled by complex actions like instrument playing gave such a sense of believability and artistry to the whole film; I believed those to be the hands of creatives, dappled and labored but well tuned for a singular purpose. With gorgeous musical arrangements by Trent Reznor and John Baptiste, fantastic visuals unparalleled by other studios, and a relatable and evocative story, "Soul" takes viewers on a journey not soon to be forgotten. While the characters may not be as memorable as Nemo or Woody, they are not supposed to be extraordinary. The protagonist is an ordinary guy -- they named him Joe -- he has an average life and wants to make something of himself. Joe is passionate about jazz, and it is his determination to have jazz be the saving grace of his life. He pours all of his attention into it; it is his sole outlet. His life is so encumbered and distracted by his pursuit that he would still be alive if not for jazz.

It is in the light of a singular purpose that the rest of the movie revolves. I won't get into spoilers, but themes about one's purpose are centric to the film. Realizations about the depth and scope of living a well-lived life are some of the film's most poignant aspects. It is in these avenues that the existential and phenomenological approaches are embraced. The film explores how experiences affect your perspectives and, ultimately, your person. "Soul" looks at apathy vs. investment in life. Is life, the world, the universe something that exists around oneself, or is it only when experienced does it come into existence? "Soul" would argue it's the latter. The film suggests the viewer remove any self-adhered blinders and experience the world in all it's loud, overwhelming, and intimidating glory. This is the film's crux and where writer/director Pete Doctor's message as a storyteller becomes apparent. The world is something to be experienced and shared. In "Soul," this process is Jazzing. At first, Joe, does not believe that Jazzing is something one can do in any situation. However, with 22, his apathetic mentoree, he later discovers that people and the world are in a constant Jazz state. It is the act of creation that allows these experiences and individualized viewpoints to be shared. Pixar has learned how to discuss omnipresent human conditions by creating fantastic new worlds. Allowing complex themes to be unpacked through the creation of narrative devices and characters. I will note that ma 7 y.o. daughter was less engaged with this film than other Pixar movies. Doctor's other film, "Inside/Out", was more approachable thematically than "Soul". I grew up with Pixar; I was the target audience when Toy Story came out and as I have grown, so has their storytelling and complexity. Inside/Out released at such an auspicious time, my first child started to experience more complex emotions and fears. My spouse and I were having trouble relating to her. It had been decades since we were kids, and having "Inside/Out" helped us gain a perspective of all the depth behind our little one. Now "Soul" released as I enter middle age and start questioning my own life's accomplishments (It's like they have this all storyboarded or something). I think it is safe to say that Pixar is becoming a Janus in itself. There will always be the marketable and generally approachable side of Pixar (they are not bad movies, but they are more classic adventure point A to B narratives). Then there will be the "every three years" cerebral and more ambiguous release like "Inside Out" and "Soul". I have absolutely no problem with that. I enjoy watching movies with my daughter, and if at the end of the film there is some 'spalining to do, then I'm all in.

Soul, beyond most films and animations made from the past to the present, deals with the meaning of life.
This is not enough, and the main art of this animation is to make people think about life and how it is.
Extremely strong animate, unique soundtrack, and excellent directing and editing are so accurate that the viewer does not notice them, and this is exactly what the artist's mission in film and animation is.
To add value to a work of art without feeling its presence.
The right characterization of Joe Gardner, a very strong script and a tremendous impact after watching the animation, is what makes you think and think about your life for a long time after it is over.
Also, the type of display of pre- and post-mortem events for a child who is not familiar with these phenomena, is done beautifully and creates the best definition and mentality for them.
Ultimately, this animation was not made for a specific age group, nor for a specific way of thinking, and everyone will feel deep pleasure in watching it. In their thoughts and hearts.

The latest gem from Pixar, a man who dreams of becoming a jazz musician is nearly killed in an accident, resulting in an out-of-body experience as his soul takes a journey through a subconscious world where souls strive to find purpose andThe latest gem from Pixar, a man who dreams of becoming a jazz musician is nearly killed in an accident, resulting in an out-of-body experience as his soul takes a journey through a subconscious world where souls strive to find purpose and meaning in life. With the help of a lost and rebellious soul by his side, he must try to get back into his own body while also learning about the joys of living along the way. Pixar almost never fails to put a smile on my face, even with some of their lesser efforts in the past, and this one is no exception in the smiles department for me. However, it also turned out to be one of their most mature and ambitious efforts to date! Complete with beautiful and colorful visuals, a great voice cast led by Jamie Foxx, a touching and often times funny story, a universal theme for anybody to relate to, and even a mature and impressive musical score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, it's sure to be enjoyed by just about anybody and will hopefully even make you appreciate the little things in life more! There are some familiar-feeling story beats at times, but they're more than made up for through the gorgeous animation and storytelling that Pixar's become so beloved for over the years. Overall, it may not necessarily be one of Pixar's tear-jerker flicks, and while only feeling a little formulaic in a scene or two, the film's heartwarming and unique enough to stand out as one of Pixar's best recent triumphs to date!

The commentary makes clear how many story changes occurred and how the audience is to decide what Joe choses to do when he comes back to Earth. Reincarnation is by no means the main theme here. Rather it ends in a very big Zen place John Lennon famously described as, Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans." I was thrilled to see the movie have an all black cast and turn this into a visual asset again and again. Jamie Foxx is astounding as usual. Jon Baptiste is the main musician. Three cheers I say.
