Soul has the kind of brain-scrambling, heart-swelling premise that only Pixar seems capable of.
The ambitious idea tells the story of a middle-school band teacher, Joe (Jamie Foxx), whose life suddenly seems to be on the🐎 upswing until a fatal accident finds him in ‘The Great Before’, the place where souls𒊎 are raised and gain their personalities before they go to Earth. Desperate to return to his life in New York City, Joe teams with cynical soul 22 (Tiny Fey), in an effort to escape.
It sounds complex and challenging, but director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc, Up, Inside Out) and Kemp Powers absolutely deliver: read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:five-star review of Soul from the London Film Festival for evidence.
Below, we’ve got an exclusive new look at Soul, from the new issue of our sister publication, . It features Joe (in Soul form) and 22 in The Great B🐼efore, revisiting the pivotal moments in Joe’s life. Check it out below:

If you think that Soul might be a com🎃panion piece to Docter’s Inside Out (both feature detailed inner worlds, and a 𒆙big concepts rendered into cute characters), think again.
“🅰We were definitely conscious of the similarities at the beginning, and actually tried to push agai🥂nst that, because one thing we’re not so fond of doing is repeating ourselves,” Docter tells in their new issue. “But I do feel like Inside Out was the film that prepared me for this one because it was so complex, and there was so much that really stretched my brain.”
