Pixar’s
Soul weaves the tale of a jazz pianist whose soul becomes stuck in an otherworldly location.
Remember 25 years ago when Pixar Animation Studios was making movies about talking toys and busy bugs? Since then, far more complex ideas have found their way into the scripts. For example, harvesting energy by accessing interdimensional portals (
Monster’s Inc.) and neurophysiological moods and the functioning of the brain (
Inside Out). Sure, those descriptions might be a bit misleading since the more recent films still featured fun characters like an eight-legged chameleon with bad intentions and a superficial green sassypants who loathes broccoli. Even so, Pixar was beginning to realize that its groundbreaking animation went hand in hand with smart and sometimes profound screenwriting.

Disney s Soul Pays Tribute to Late Pixar Animator Behind Cars and Toy Story
✖
Soul pays tribute to late Disney and Pixar animator Joe Ranft, a 20-year animation veteran whose credits include
Toy Story and
Cars. When middle school band teacher and jazz musician Joe (Jamie Foxx) suffers an accident, his soul separates from his body and ends up in the Great Beyond. To buy time and reunite his soul with his body back on Earth, Joe poses as a soul counselor in the Great Before and becomes the unwitting mentor of 22 (Tina Fey). As an eons-old soul who has never found her spark despite the teachings of notable figures like Abraham Lincoln, Mohammed Ali, and Mother Teresa 22 proudly shows Joe a wall collecting the nametags of her many mentors.
