The film cleverly shows the lively world of the living compared to the dreamy space of souls, using creative and beautiful visuals. Joe is joined by 22, a skeptical soul voiced by Tina Fey, who hasn’t yet found her reason for living. Their funny and deep conversations help them explore who they are, what makes them happy, and the small pleasures that give life meaning.
Soul is memorable not just for its captivating story but also for its wonderful jazz music, created by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste. With meaningful themes about passion, purpose, and cherishing everyday moments, Soul connects with viewers of all ages, making it a touching part of Pixar’s collection.
