Soul

Dir. Pete Docter · United States of America · English

Everybody has a soul. Joe Gardner is about to find his.

What happens

Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful audition at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"There's a definite satisfaction to how expectation-defying the film is, with its hairpin twists and turns, though some of the surprises stem from the way that Soul can't entirely figure out how its two worlds mesh together thematically."

— Alison Willmore

"[Soul is] pleasant and clever, with a generous heart, committed voice acting, and some of the kookiest images in Pixar history."

— Matt Zoller Seitz
