The story of a jazz pianist who pursues his art across the divide between life and death, SOUL (2020) was recognized in the year of its release with a 2020 AFI AWARD, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “SOUL is a modern movie miracle. This ambitiously imaginative burst of life finds the spark of spirituality in American cinema – and delivers it to audiences of all ages in equal parts entertainment and enlightenment. Pete Docter and his talented team at Pixar tackle issues of the highest plane – death, regret, acceptance – and place their answers in the talented voices of Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey. The alchemy that results invites audiences to look to the future without fear – and to find the joy in their soul.”
