Disney Pixar’s Soul will release on December 25 on Disney Plus Hotstar. Ahead of the big premiere, Oscar-winning filmmaker Pete Docter, who has helmed Soul, opened up about his experiences of making the animated film.
Speaking about its inception, Docter said, “It started with my son—he’s 23 now—but the instant he was born, he already had a personality. Where did that come from? I thought your personality developed through your interaction with the world. And yet, it was pretty clear that we’re all born with a very unique, specific sense of who we are. In our story, everyone is born with a soul. And those souls don’t just show up unprepared, they’re trained and given personality and interests.”
