While last week Soul picked up the Academy Award for Best Feature Animation in Los Angeles, this weekend the film's prequel 22 vs Earth has allowed fans to learn a little more about how 22 became such an Earthaphobe. The short film reunites Kevin Nolting ( Soul's lead editor) with Tina Fey's earth-hating 22. For good measure, the film also takes a light-hearted stab at solving the mystery of the meaning of life in the process. The short is Nolting's directorial debut. For him, 2 2 vs Earth was a simple case of being in the right place at the right time. “Traditionally these shorts go to the head of story on the film because the editor is usually still working on the movie when these things are made,” Nolting explains.
