Soul

POSITIVES…

  • Simple but fascinating premise of a fun, enjoyable, and beautiful Pixar animated movie.

  • The combo of Jamie Foxx as Joe and Tina Fey as 22 is really good. The interactions between the two is a strong reason to watch this movie.

  • While there is a more serious narrative found here, it definitely isn’t without it’s jokes and comedic moments, and there are funny ones.

  • The world building of what’s beyond the living is good and interesting.

  • Character designs are charming.

  • Gotta enjoy all the pop culture and historical references.

  • Fans of cats should be amused by this movie.

  • Should be no surprise but fans of Jazz music should find something here to appreciate.

  • That New York Knicks joke. LOL

  • There’s usually an underlying theme and message with Pixar films, but I would say that “Soul” might just have one of the most important and enlightening ones.

NEGATIVES…

  • Not the most exciting animated movie in the traditional sense.

  • As usual with most Pixar movies that it’s kind of a cliche, but there is in fact a set time and goal that the characters are racing towards.

  • Not entirely a negative, but I don’t know if little kids will get the message of this story. Not only that, but Parents might be forced to explain death to those little kids watching this. I’m sure they had practice from “Coco.”

  • Hospital security.
